Abstract:EPLIN, an actin-binding protein, has been described as both a tumour promoter and tumour suppressor in different cancers. EPLIN isoform(α or β)-specific functions, which remain largely unknown, could explain these opposing roles. We observed distinct EPLIN-isoform localization; EPLINα is recruited to actin in plasma membrane ruffles and endosomes, while EPLINβ resides on actin stress fibers. We identified two EPLIN actin-binding regions and demonstrated EPLINα interaction with Rab21, an established regulator o… Show more
