Summary: Predicted to enable Arp2/3 complex binding activity and protein kinase A regulatory subunit binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; positive regulation of clathrin-dependent endocytosis; and positive regulation of egg-laying behavior. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of SCAR complex. Is expressed in Q cell and anchor cell. Orthologous to human WASF1 (WASP family member 1); WASF2 (WASP family member 2); and WASF3 (WASP family member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

EM studies in adults depleted of branched actin regulators support that WVE-1 maintains established junctions, presumably through its trafficking effect on Cadherin.
Title: WAVE regulates Cadherin junction assembly and turnover during epithelial polarization.
The WAVE complex is the main activator of the Arp2/3 complex for actin filament nucleation and assembly in the lamellipodia of moving cells.
Title: WAVE binds Ena/VASP for enhanced Arp2/3 complex-based actin assembly.
WAVE/SCAR promotes endocytosis and early endosome morphology in polarized C. elegans epithelia.
Title: WAVE/SCAR promotes endocytosis and early endosome morphology in polarized C. elegans epithelia.
UNC-40/DCC, SAX-3/Robo, and VAB-1/Eph polarize F-actin during embryonic morphogenesis by regulating the WAVE/SCAR actin nucleation complex.
Title: UNC-40/DCC, SAX-3/Robo, and VAB-1/Eph polarize F-actin during embryonic morphogenesis by regulating the WAVE/SCAR actin nucleation complex.
results support a model in which the MIG-15 kinase and the UNC-116-WVE-1 complex act on opposite sides of the growth cone to promote robust directional migration
Title: MIG-15 and ERM-1 promote growth cone directional migration in parallel to UNC-116 and WVE-1.
in Caenorhabditis elegans, WH2-domain-containing activator of the Arp2/3 complex, WVE-1/WAVE acts redundantly with WSP-1/WASP in axon guidance
Title: The Arp2/3 activators WAVE and WASP have distinct genetic interactions with Rac GTPases in Caenorhabditis elegans axon guidance.
Animals with impaired wve-1 function display defects in gastrulation, fail to undergo proper morphogenesis, and exhibit defects in neuronal cell migrations and axon outgrowth.
Title: Caenorhabditis elegans WASP and Ena/VASP proteins play compensatory roles in morphogenesis and neuronal cell migration.
