Gene Summary
Abelson interacting protein (Abi) encodes a protein that interacts with the non-receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by Abl. It contributes to the regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization. It is involved in multiple actin dependent processes including cell adhesion, cell morphogenesis, oogenesis, muscle attachment and axogenesis. [Date last reviewed: 2019-09-26] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Group (FlyBase)
WAVE REGULATORY COMPLEX -
The WAVE Regulatory Complex (WRC) is a multi-subunit complex that controls actin cytoskeletal dynamics. WRC activates the Arp2/3-mediated actin nucleation. WRC contains the nucleation-promoting factor SCAR, a member of the WASP family. (Adapted from FBrf0208042 and FBrf0224564).
Summary (Interactive Fly)

regulates WASP-/WAVE mediated F-actin formation and modulates the activity of the Abelson tyrosine kinase - recruits EGFR to the membrane to promote SOP development

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Additional Descriptive Data

Abi is expressed in the brain and ventral nerve cord of the embryonic CNS, specifically in the commissures and longitudinal connectives. There is also some staining along the midline. In third instar larvae expression is observed in several regions of the brain including the neuropil, in axon fascicles of the ventral nerve cord, in photoreceptor cells in the eye disc, and in photoreceptor axons projecting through the optic stalk into the optic lobe.
