Summary: Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; cytoskeleton-dependent cytokinesis; and intracellular transport. Located in cell cortex and cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Colocalizes with cleavage furrow. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart ventricle; and limb. Orthologous to human SPIRE2 (spire type actin nucleation factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

After injection of double-strand RNA against Spire 1 and 2 (Spire1+2 double-strand RNA), actin mesh levels were significantly decreased compared with that of control (negative). Conserved zinc-binding cysteines in the FYVE domain of Spire2 are crucial for proper localization in the oocyte cortex and cytoplasmic vesicles. The interaction between FMN2 and Spire2 proteins does not affect localization of Spire2.

The authors determined crystal structures of MyoVa-globular tail domain bound either to the Spir-2 motif or to Rab11 and show that a Spir-2:MyoVa:Rab11 complex can form.

We describe a novel locus, called Streptococcus pneumoniae infection resistance 2 (Spir2) on Chr4, which influences time to morbidity and the development of bacteraemia post-infection.

Spir-2 is found to be expressed as a single mRNA in the developing nervous system and intestine. In adult mouse it is expressed in epithelial cells of the digestive tract, in neuronal cells of the nervous system, and in testical spermatocytes.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
