| Description | Formins (formin homology proteins) proteins play a crucial role in the reorganisation of the actin cytoskeleton and associate with the fast-growing end (barbed end) of actin filaments [ , ]. This entry represents the formin homologues from plants. Seed plants have two formin clades with numerous paralogues []. They can be classified as class I and class II formins. Class I formins includes a N-terminal membrane insertion signal, a predicted extracytoplasmic Pro-rich stretch, a transmembrane region, and C-terminal FH1 and FH2 domains []. Though class II formins usually contain a N-terminal PTEN domain related to the human PTEN protein (implied in pathogenesis of the Parkinson disease) [], the N-termini of type-II plant formins do not contain any recognisable domain that can provide a clue to their biological function. |
