Spire homolog 1
Spir-1, Spire1
Spire proteins, such as SPIRE1, are highly conserved between species. They belong to the family of Wiskott-Aldrich homology region-2 (WH2) proteins, which are involved in actin organization (Kerkhoff et al., 2001 [PubMed 11747823]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] (from

GeneRIF
Gif-sur-Yvette, France. In Mol Cell, 2007
The multifunctional character of the WH2 domains allows Spire to sequester four G-actin subunits binding cooperatively in a tight SA(4) complex and to nucleate, sever, and cap filaments at their barbed ends.

GeneRIF
Würzburg, Germany. In Gene Expr Patterns, 2004
By analyzing the expression of the spir-1 gene it was shown that spir-1 and formin-2 have a nearly identical expression pattern during mouse embryogenesis and in the adult brain.
