Disease relevance of Wipf1

  • Our results indicate that WIP and N-WASP may act as a functional unit in filopodium formation, which is consistent with their role in actin-tail formation in cells infected with vaccinia virus or Shigella [1].
  • We have shown that WIP interacts with members of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family and is essential for filopodium formation regulated by Cdc42 GTPase [2].
 

High impact information on Wipf1

 

Biological context of Wipf1

  • Calcium mobilization, phosphorylation of Syk, phospholipase C-g2, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase were markedly decreased in WIP-deficient BMMCs [3].
 

Anatomical context of Wipf1

 

Physical interactions of Wipf1

  • Here we show that WASP-interacting protein (WIP) interacts directly with N-WASP and actin [1].
 

Regulatory relationships of Wipf1

  • WIP regulates N-WASP-mediated actin polymerization and filopodium formation [1].
