FH1/FH2 domain-containing protein 1 (FHOD1)

The protein contains 1164 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 126551 Da.

 

Required for the assembly of F-actin structures, such as stress fibers. Depends on the Rho-ROCK cascade for its activity. Contributes to the coordination of microtubules with actin fibers and plays a role in cell elongation. Acts synergistically with ROCK1 to promote SRC-dependent non-apoptotic plasma membrane blebbing.

DESCRIPTION

FHOD1 belongs to the formin protein family, whose members are defined by formin homology-1 (FH1) and FH2 domains and are required for cell organization and limb development. The first members of the family were termed formins because mutations caused improper limb and renal formation in mice (summary by Westendorf et al., 1999). For additional background information on formins, see FMN1 (136535).

CLONING

Using a portion of the AML-1B (RUNX1; 151385) transcription factor as bait in a yeast-2 hybrid screen of a B-cell cDNA library, Westendorf et al. (1999) identified a partial cDNA clone for FHOD1. The full-length clone was obtained by screening a Burkitt lymphoma cell line and human fetal and adult spleen cDNA libraries with the partial cDNA. The deduced 1,165-amino acid protein has a calculated molecular mass of 128 kD and shows sequence homology to Diaphanous (see 300108) and FMN1 within the FH1 and FH2 domains. It also contains a coiled-coil, a collagen-like domain, 2 nuclear localization signals, and several potential PKC and PKA phosphorylation sites. Westendorf et al. (1999) identified a 4-kb transcript in several human erythroid leukemia cell lines and in all tissues tested, with highest expression in spleen. Immunolocalization of endogenous FHOD1 showed predominant cytoplasmic localization with expression in a variety of human cell lines.

GENE FUNCTION

Using in vitro capture of FHOD1 with several recombinant Rho family GST fusion proteins, Westendorf (2001) determined that FHOD1 interacts specifically with Rac1 (602048) in a guanine nucleotide-independent manner, and that FHOD1 does not interact with other members of the Rho subfamily of GTPases. Immunoprecipitation studies confirmed direct interaction between endogenous FHOD1 and Rac1. Using a yeast 2-hybrid screen with a human bone marrow cDNA expression library, Westendorf and Koka (2004) found that FHOD1 interacted with PRKCBP1 (ZMYND8; 615713), cyclophilin B (PPIB; 123841), and the B isoform of WISH (NCKIPSD; 606671). Coimmunoprecipitation analysis confirmed the interaction between FHOD1 and WISH-B. Domain analysis revealed that the N-terminal SH3 and PST domains of WISH-B interacted predominantly with the FH1 domain of FHOD1. The N-terminal domains of WISH-B, but not the full-length protein, inhibited FHOD1-induced stress fiber formation in transfected HEK293T cells. However, full-length WISH-B altered the solubility of FHOD1, suggesting that WISH-B may influence the subcellular localization of FHOD1 or recruit it to larger protein complexes.

MAPPING

By radiation hybrid analysis, Westendorf et al. (1999) mapped the FHOD1 gene to chromosome 16q22. ... More on the omim web site
