ID:TARA_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=TRIO and F-actin-binding protein; AltName: Full=Protein Tara; AltName: Full=Trio-associated repeat on actin; FUNCTION: May regulate actin cytoskeletal organization, cell spreading and cell contraction by directly binding and stabilizing filamentous F-actin. The localized formation of TARA and TRIO complexes coordinates the amount of F-actin present in stress fibers. May also serve as a linker protein to recruit proteins required for F-actin formation and turnover. SUBUNIT: Binds to TRIO and F-actin. May also interact with myosin II. Interacts with HECTD3. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Localized to F-actin in a periodic pattern. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Highly expressed in heart and placenta. Isoform 3 is expressed in fetal brain, retina and cochlea but is not detectable in the other tissues. DOMAIN: Contains at least 2 actin-binding sites per coiled-coil dimer. PTM: Ubiquitinated by HECTD3, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. DISEASE: Defects in TRIOBP are the cause of deafness autosomal recessive type 28 (DFNB28) [MIM:609823]. MISCELLANEOUS: Has been identified in PubMed:9853615 by a selection system for genes encoding nuclear-targeted protein. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PH domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA34800.1; Type=Frameshift; Positions=478;
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.
