VLN4 | Villin-4; Binds actin and actin filament bundles in a Ca(2+)- insensitive manner, but caps the barbed end of actin filaments and is able to sever them in a calcium-dependent manner. Involved in root hair growth through regulating actin organization in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. (974 aa) | ||||
VLN1 | Villin-1; Binds actin and actin filament bundles in a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-insensitive manner, but is unable to sever, cap, and nucleate actin filament formation in vitro. Does not protect individual filaments from severing by VLN3 (AC O81645). Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family. (909 aa) | ||||
VLN2 | Villin-2; Ca(2+)-regulated actin-binding protein. Involved in actin filaments bundling. Caps the barbed end of actin filaments and is able to sever them in a calcium-dependent manner. Required for the construction of actin collars in pollen tubes. Acts redundantly with VLN5 (AC Q9LVC6) to generate thick actin filament bundles and to regulate polarized pollen tube growth. Acts redundantly with VLN3 (AC O81645) to regulate directional organ growth and in sclerenchyma development (respectively). Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family. (976 aa) | ||||
VLN3 | Villin-3; Binds actin and actin filament bundles in a Ca(2+)- insensitive manner, but severs actin filaments in a calcium-dependent manner, regardless of the presence or not of VLN1 (AC O81643). Acts redundantly with VLN2 (AC O81644) to generate thick actin filament bundles, to regulate directional organ growth and in sclerenchyma development. (965 aa) | ||||
VLN5 | Villin-5; Major actin filament stabilizing factor and regulator of actin dynamics. Binds actin and actin filament bundles in a Ca(2+)- insensitive manner, but caps the barbed end of actin filaments and is able to sever them in a calcium-dependent manner. Required for the construction of actin collars in pollen tubes. Acts synergistically with VLN2 (AC O81644) to regulate polarized pollen tube growth. Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family. (962 aa) |
