Expression:
P23528 COF1_HUMAN:

Widely distributed in various tissues.

Description:
cofilin 1 a cytoskeletal protein that controls actin depolymerization. Has a 5-10-fold higher affinity for ATP-actin monomers than cofilin-1. May promote filament assembly rather than disassembly. Two alternatively spliced variants are described.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Binds to F-actin and exhibits pH-sensitive F-actin depolymerizing activity. Regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Important for normal progress through mitosis and normal cytokinesis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required for the up-regulation of atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 from endosomal compartment to cell membrane, increasing its efficiency in chemokine uptake and degradation. Required for neural tube morphogenesis and neural crest cell migration (By similarity).

PTMs:

Inactivated by phosphorylation on Ser-3. Phosphorylated on Ser-3 in resting cells (By similarity). Dephosphorylated by PDXP/chronophin; this restores its activity in promoting actin filament depolymerization. The phosphorylation of Ser-24 may prevent recognition of the nuclear localization signal (By similarity). Phosphorylated via a ARRB1-RAC1-LIMK1-PAK1 cascade upon active ligand stimulation of atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2.

Subcellular Location:

Nucleus matrix. Cytoplasm>Cytoskeleton. Cell projection>Ruffle membrane>Peripheral membrane protein>Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection>Lamellipodium membrane>Peripheral membrane protein>Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection>Lamellipodium.
Note: Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton in membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Detected at the cleavage furrow and contractile ring during cytokinesis. Almost completely in nucleus in cells exposed to heat shock or 10% dimethyl sulfoxide.
