first tandem Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Homology (WASP) region 2 (WH2 motif) repeat of protein Spire homologs 1 and 2; This family contains the first tandem Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-homology domain 2 (WH2) domain in human Spire family proteins Spire-1 (also called Spir1) and Spire-2 (Spir2) and related proteins. Spire is an actin nucleator essential for establishing an actin mesh during oogenesis. It was first identified as a Drosophila maternal effect gene essential to establishment of both the anterior/posterior and dorsal/ventral body axes in developing oocytes and embryos. It has been found to sever filaments and sequester monomers in addition to nucleating new filaments; it remains associated with the slow-growing pointed end of the new filament. Spire is involved in intracellular vesicle transport along actin fibers, providing a novel link between actin cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular transport. It is required for asymmetric spindle positioning and asymmetric cell division during oocyte meiosis. Spire contains four tandem WH2 domains. The mammalian genome encodes two Spire proteins, namely Spire-1 and Spire-2. This model contains WH2 domain 1 of human Spire-1 and Spire-2 . Major expression of both spire genes have been detected during embryogenesis in the developing nervous system). In addition, spire1 expression is found in the fetal liver, while spire2 expression is seen in early stages of intestinal development. In adult tissues, the spire2 gene shows a rather broad expression pattern, which includes the epithelial cells of the digestive tract, testical spermatocytes, and neuronal cells of the nervous system. In contrast, spire1 is mainly expressed in neuronal cells of the nervous system. Minor expression levels were detected in testis and spleen. Spire also acts in the nucleus where, together with Spire-1 and Spire-2, it promotes assembly of nuclear actin filaments in response to DNA damage in order to facilitate movement of chromatin and repair factors after DNA damage. High levels of spire1 expression are restricted to the nervous system, oocytes, and testis. Since function of Spire-1 and Spire-2 in oocyte maturation is redundant, spire1 mutant mice are fertile, overall brain anatomy is not altered, and visual and motor functions remain normal; however, detailed behavioral studies of the spire1 mutant mice unveiled a very specific and highly significant phenotype in terms of fear learning in male mice. : Pssm-ID: 409208 Cd Length: 32 Bit Score: 73.54 E-value: 8.01e-17

415-442 | 1.01e-14 | ||
FYVE domain like superfamily; FYVE domain is a 60-80 residue double zinc finger motif-containing module named after the four proteins, Fab1, YOTB, Vac1, and EEA1. The canonical FYVE domains are distinguished from other zinc fingers by three signature sequences: an N-terminal WxxD motif (x for any residue), the central basic R(R/K)HHCRxCG patch, and a C-terminal RVC motif, which form a compact phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P, also termed PI3P)-binding site. They are found in many membrane trafficking regulators, including EEA1, Hrs, Vac1p, Vps27p, and FENS-1, which locate to early endosomes, specifically bind PtdIns3P, and play important roles in vesicular traffic and in signal transduction. Some proteins, such as rabphilin-3A and alpha-Rab3-interacting molecules (RIMs), are also involved in membrane trafficking and bind to members of the Rab subfamily of GTP hydrolases. However, they contain FYVE-related domains that are structurally similar to the canonical FYVE domains but lack the three signature sequences. At this point, they may not bind to phosphoinositides. In addition, this superfamily also contains the third group of proteins, caspase-associated ring proteins CARP1 and CARP2. They do not localize to membranes in the cell and are involved in the negative regulation of apoptosis, specifically targeting two initiator caspases, caspase 8 and caspase 10, which are distinguished from other FYVE-type proteins. Moreover, these proteins have an altered sequence in the basic ligand binding patch and lack the WxxD motif that is conserved only in phosphoinositide binding FYVE domains. Thus they constitute a family of unique FYVE-type domains called FYVE-like domains. The FYVE domain is structurally similar to the RING domain and the PHD finger. This superfamily also includes ADDz zinc finger domain, which is a PHD-like zinc finger motif that contains two parts, a C2-C2 and a PHD-like zinc finger.

FYVE-related domain found in protein spire homolog 1 (Spire1) and similar proteins; Spire1 is encoded by gene spir-1, which is primarily found to be expressed in the developing nervous system and in neuronal cells of the adult brain, as well as in the fetal liver and in the adult spleen.

It is also required for polar body extrusion by promoting assembly of the cleavage furrow. Moreover, it cooperates synergistically with Fmn2 to assemble F-actin in oocytes. Spire1 contains an N-terminal protein-interaction KIND domain, WH2 actin-binding domains, a Rab GTPase-interaction Spir-box, and a C-terminal FYVE membrane-binding domain.

Spire1 contains an N-terminal protein-interaction KIND domain, WH2 actin-binding domains, a Rab GTPase-interaction Spir-box, and a C-terminal FYVE membrane-binding domain. The FYVE domain resembles a FYVE-related domain that is structurally similar to the canonical FYVE domains but lack the three signature sequences: an N-terminal WxxD motif (x for any residue), the central basic R(R/K)HHCRxCG patch, and a C-terminal RVC motif, which form a binding pocket that specifically binds the phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P or PI3P).

kinase non-catalytic C-lobe domain; It is an interaction domain identified as being similar to the C-terminal protein kinase catalytic fold (C lobe). Its presence at the N terminus of signalling proteins and the absence of the active-site residues in the catalytic and activation loops suggest that it folds independently and is likely to be non-catalytic. The occurrence of KIND only in metazoa implies that it has evolved from the catalytic protein kinase domain into an interaction domain possibly by keeping the substrate-binding features Pssm-ID: 214801 Cd Length: 176 Bit Score: 63.96 E-value: 5.62e-12

second tandem Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Homology (WASP) region 2 (WH2 motif) repeat of protein Spire homolog 2; This family contains the second tandem Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-homology domain 2 (WH2) domain in human Spire family protein Spire-2 (also called Spir2) and related proteins. Spire is an actin nucleator essential for establishing an actin mesh during oogenesis. It was first identified as a Drosophila maternal effect gene essential to establishment of both the anterior/posterior and dorsal/ventral body axes in developing oocytes and embryos. It has been found to sever filaments and sequester monomers in addition to nucleating new filaments; it remains associated with the slow-growing pointed end of the new filament. Spire is involved in intracellular vesicle transport along actin fibers, providing a novel link between actin cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular transport. It is required for asymmetric spindle positioning and asymmetric cell division during oocyte meiosis. Spire contains four tandem WH2 domains. The mammalian genome encodes two Spire proteins, namely Spire-1 (Spir1) and Spire-2 (Spir2). This model contains WH2 domain 2 of human Spire-2. Major expression of both spire genes have been detected during embryogenesis in the developing nervous system). In addition, spire2 expression is seen in early stages of intestinal development. In adult tissues, the spire2 gene shows a rather broad expression pattern, which includes the epithelial cells of the digestive tract, testical spermatocytes, and neuronal cells of the nervous system. Spire also acts in the nucleus where, together with Spire-1 and Spire-2, it promotes assembly of nuclear actin filaments in response to DNA damage in order to facilitate movement of chromatin and repair factors after DNA damage.
