Summary: Involved in several processes, including germ cell development; maintenance of protein location in cell; and mitotic cytokinesis. Part of Ino80 complex and brahma complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult fat body; adult heart; ganglia; gut section; and sensory nervous system primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Baraitser-Winter syndrome 1 and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human ACTB (actin beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

The disruption of DNlg1, DNlg2, or their presynaptic partner neurexin (DNrx) led to a dramatic decrease in the amount of F-actin. Further study showed that DNlg1, but not DNlg2 or DNlg3, directly interacts with the WRC via its C-terminal interacting receptor sequence.

These findings revise the existing spermiation model in Drosophila and suggest that somatic cells can actively oppose mechanical cell invasion attempts using calibrated F-actin dynamics in situ

Data suggest that the molecular and structural mechanism of actin polymerization by Spire should apply to other actin-binding proteins that contain WH2 domains in tandem.
Title: Molecular architecture of the Spire-actin nucleus and its implication for actin filament assembly.
actin filament subunits were directly modified by Mical on their conserved pointed-end, critical for filament assembly; Mical posttranslationally oxidized the methionine 44 residue within D-loop of actin, severing filaments and decreasing polymerization

Title: One of the two cytoplasmic actin isoforms in Drosophila is essential.
A mutational strategy is used to express monomeric 5C actin that is incapable of polymerization, able to bind skeletal myosin subfragment 1 and form a homogeneous complex, an ideal candidate for structural studies of actin complexes with motor proteins.
