Summary: Enables Arp2/3 complex binding activity and actin binding activity. Involved in actin cortical patch localization; actin filament organization; and positive regulation of supramolecular fiber organization. Located in actin cortical patch. Part of SLAC complex. Used to study Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; X-linked severe congenital neutropenia; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to several human genes including WASL (WASP like actin nucleation promoting factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

These studies provide evidence that WASP (Las17) and WIP (Vrp1) play central roles in establishment of a robust multivalent Src homology 3 domain-proline-rich motif network in vivo, giving Actin-related protein 2/3 complex assembly onset at endocytic sites a switch-like behavior.
Title: Switch-like Arp2/3 activation upon WASP and WIP recruitment to an apparent threshold level by multivalent linker proteins in vivo.
Studies indicate that the WASP homologue Las17 is able to nucleate actin independently of Arp2/3 through the function of G-actin-binding activities in its polyproline region.
Title: WASP family proteins, more than Arp2/3 activators.
A model is proposed in which actin filaments bind Vps1 during invagination, and this interaction is important to transduce the force of actin polymerization to the membrane to drive successful scission.
Title: A dynamin-actin interaction is required for vesicle scission during endocytosis in yeast.
LGM has relatively lower potency compared to the previously known Las17 G-actin-binding motif, WH2.
Title: A second Las17 monomeric actin-binding motif functions in Arp2/3-dependent actin polymerization during endocytosis.
Lsb1 and/or Lsb2 full-length proteins inhibit Las17-mediated actin polymerization
Title: Lsb1 is a negative regulator of las17 dependent actin polymerization involved in endocytosis.
polyproline domain able to nucleate actin filaments independently of Arp2/3
Title: A novel actin-binding motif in Las17/WASP nucleates actin filaments independently of Arp2/3.
ARPC1 performs propagation of WASp activation signals via contacts with p19/ARPC2 and direct facilitation of actin nucleation through interactions of the extended arm with the VCA domain of WASp
Title: The p40/ARPC1 subunit of Arp2/3 complex performs multiple essential roles in WASp-regulated actin nucleation.
Results identify an N-terminal fragment of Las17p able to interact with Vrp1p but not Arp2/3, and suggest that LAs17 interaction with Vrp1 is more important than interaction with Arp2/3 for polarized actin assembly and endocytosis in yeast.
Title: Las17p-Vrp1p but not Las17p-Arp2/3 interaction is important for actin patch polarization in yeast.
polyproline region of Las17 and Ysc84 can promote actin polymerization
Title: The WASP homologue Las17 activates the novel actin-regulatory activity of Ysc84 to promote endocytosis in yeast.
Findings highlight the role of Las17p binding for Vrp1p membrane association, suggest general membrane association may be more important than specific targeting to the cortical actin cytoskeleton for Vrp1p. function in endocytosis and cell growth.
Title: Verprolin function in endocytosis and actin organization. Roles of the Las17p (yeast WASP)-binding domain and a novel C-terminal actin-binding domain.

Actin assembly factor; C-terminal WCA domain activates Arp2/3 complex-mediated nucleation of branched actin filaments, polyproline domain nucleates actin filaments independent of Arp2/3; mutants are defective in endocytosis, bud site selection, cytokinesis; human homolog WAS (Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome) implicated in severe immunodeficiency; human WAS complements yeast null mutant, but only in presence of WIPF1, which mediates localization of WAS to cortical patches
