SPIRE1

Last updated

SPIRE1 is a protein that interacts with actin monomers and actin nucleating formin proteins. [1] SPIRE1 was first identified in Drosophila melanogaster . [2] SPIRE1 contains an N-terminal KIND domain which binds formins and four actin-binding WH2 domains which nucleate actin filaments. [3] [4]
