Disheveled-associated activator of morphogenesis 1 (DAAM1)

The protein contains 1078 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 123473 Da.

 

Binds to disheveled (Dvl) and Rho, and mediates Wnt-induced Dvl-Rho complex formation. May play a role as a scaffolding protein to recruit Rho-GDP and Rho-GEF, thereby enhancing Rho-GTP formation. Can direct nucleation and elongation of new actin filaments. Involved in building functional cilia (PubMed:16630611, PubMed:17482208). Involved in the organization of the subapical actin network in multiciliated epithelial cells (By similarity). Together with DAAM2, required for myocardial maturation and sarcomere assembly (By similarity). (updated: Feb. 28, 2018)

CLONING

By screening size-fractionated brain cDNA libraries for cDNAs with the potential to encode proteins larger than 50 kD, Ishikawa et al. (1998) identified a cDNA which they designated KIAA0666. KIAA0666 encodes a 1,085-amino acid protein predicted to function in cell division. It is 68% identical to the KIAA0381 protein (DAAM2; 606627). RT-PCR analysis detected expression of KIAA0666 in all tissues tested. Habas et al. (2001) identified a novel formin (see FMN1; 136535) homology (FH) protein that they named DAAM1. DAAM1 is a widely expressed protein that contains 1,078 amino acids and is identical to the KIAA0666 protein. Like other FH proteins, DAAM1 contains a central proline-rich FH1 domain and a more C-terminal FH2 domain.

GENE FUNCTION

Wnt (see 164975) signaling via the frizzled receptor (Fz; see 600667) controls cell polarity and movement during development. Habas et al. (2001) reported that in human cells and during Xenopus embryogenesis, Wnt/Fz signaling activated the small GTPase Rho (165390), a key regulator of cytoskeleton architecture. Wnt/Fz activation of Rho required the cytoplasmic protein dishevelled (DVL; see 601365) and DAAM1. DAAM1 bound to both DVL and Rho and mediated Wnt-induced DVL-Rho complex formation. Inhibition or depletion of DAAM1 prevented Wnt/Fz activation of Rho and of Xenopus gastrulation, but did not prevent activation of beta-catenin (116806) signaling. Liu et al. (2008) showed that human DAAM1 was autoinhibited by an intramolecular interaction between its N-terminal GTPase domain, which includes an autoinhibitory domain, and its C-terminal autoregulatory domain. Interaction of DAAM1 with DVL disrupted this autoinhibitory interaction, resulting in DAAM1 activation. Mutations within or removal of the autoregulatory domain converted DAAM1 into an active protein that could induce Rho activation. Liu et al. (2008) also demonstrated that Dvl synergized with Daam1 to regulate gastrulation during Xenopus embryogenesis.

MAPPING

By radiation hybrid analysis, Ishikawa et al. (1998) mapped the DAAM1 gene to chromosome 14. ... More on the omim web site
