Filamin A (FLNa), the first non-muscle actin filament cross-linking protein, was identified in 1975. Thirty five years of FLNa research has revealed its structure in great detail, discovered its isoforms (FLNb and c), and identified over 90 binding partners including channels, receptors, intracellular signaling molecules, and even transcription factors. Due to this diversity, mutations in human FLN genes result in a wide range of anomalies with moderate to lethal consequences. This review focuses on the structure and functions of FLNa in cell migration and adhesion.
细丝蛋白 A(FLNa)是 1975 年发现的第一个非肌肉肌动蛋白丝交联蛋白。35 年来,FLNa 的研究已经详细揭示了其结构,发现了其同工型(FLNb 和 c),并鉴定了 90 多个结合伙伴,包括通道、受体、细胞内信号分子,甚至转录因子。由于这种多样性,人类 FLN 基因突变导致广泛的异常,从中度到致命的后果。本综述重点介绍 FLNa 在细胞迁移和黏附中的结构和功能。
