CLONING

Isoforms of actin (e.g., ACTG1; 102560), in association with myosin motor proteins (e.g., MYO1A; 601478), are required for cellular motile processes. In addition to conventional actins, there are several actin-related proteins (e.g., ACTR2; 604221). By searching an EST database and by screening a testis cDNA library, Clark et al. (1994) isolated cDNAs encoding ACTR1B, which they called beta-centractin. The deduced 376-amino acid ACTR1B protein and the ACTR1A protein (605143) are of equal length, and they share 90% amino acid identity and 96% amino acid similarity. Northern blot analysis detected a 2.0-kb ACTR1B transcript at variable levels in all tissues tested. Two-dimensional immunoblot analysis determined that ACTR1B is expressed in the cytosol as part of the dynactin complex, an activator of dynein-driven vesicle movement (see 601143), as a 43-kD protein with a pI of 6.4; levels of ACTR1B were at least 15-fold lower than those of ACTR1A.

MAPPING

By somatic cell hybrid analysis, Elsea et al. (1999) mapped the ACTR1B gene to chromosome 2. They localized the ACTR1B gene to 2q11.1-q11.2 using FISH. ... More on the omim web site
