ID:SPIR1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Protein spire homolog 1; Short=Spir-1; FUNCTION: Acts as a actin nucleation factor, remains associated with the slow-growing pointed end of the new filament. Involved in vesicle transport processes providing a novel link between actin organization and intracellular transport. INTERACTION: P27348:YWHAQ; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-1055655, EBI-359854; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Note=Punctate spots in perinuclear region and cytoplasm, co-localised with Rab11. DOMAIN: Binds to actin monomers via the WH2 domain (By similarity). DOMAIN: The Spir-box targets binding to intracellular membrane structures. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the spire family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 KIND domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 WH2 domains. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAI15006.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=AAI25207.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=AAI25208.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=BAA86449.2; Type=Erroneous initiation;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
