About This Section Entrez Gene summary for ACTA2 : The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the actin family of proteins, which are highly conserved proteins that play a role in cell motility, structure and integrity. Alpha, beta and gamma actin isoforms have been identified, with alpha actins being a major constituent of the contractile apparatus, while beta and gamma actins are involved in the regulation of cell motility. This actin is an alpha actin that is found in skeletal muscle. Defects in this gene cause aortic aneurysm familial thoracic type 6. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. (provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ACTA_HUMAN, P62736 Function : Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitouslyexpressed in all eukaryotic cells summary
for ACTA2 : Actin is a ubiquitous globular protein that is one of the most highly-conserved proteins known. It is foundin two main states; G-actin is the globular monomeric form, whereas F-actin forms helical polymers. Both G-and F-actin are intrinsically flexible structures - a feature vital in actin's role as a dynamic filamentnetwork. Actin has four major functions. Firstly, F-actin polymers form microfilaments - polar intracellular'tracks' for kinesin motor proteins, allowing the transport of vesicles, organelles and other cargo. Actinis a component of the cytoskeleton and links to alpha-actinin, E-cadherin and beta-catenin at adherensjunctions. This gives mechanical support to cells and attaches them to each other and the extracellularmatrix. In muscle cells, actin-rich thin filaments associate with myosin-rich thick filaments to formactomyosin myofibrils. Using energy from the hydrolysis of ATP, myofibrils undergo cyclic shortening throughactin-myosin head interactions, which represents the mechanics of muscle contraction. Finally, actin has arole in cell motility through polymerization and depolymerization of fibrils. Gene Wiki entry for ACTA2

About This Section UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: ACTA_HUMAN, P62736 (See
protein sequence )Recommended Name: Actin, aortic smooth muscle precursor Size : 377 amino acids; 42009 Da
Subunit : Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of atwo-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to 4 others
Subcellular location : Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton
Miscellaneous : In vertebrates 3 main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta and gamma have been identified. The alphaactins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins coexist in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility

Oxidation of Met-46 by MICALs (MICAL1, MICAL2 or MICAL3) to form methionine sulfoxide promotes actin filament depolymerization. Methionine sulfoxide is produced stereospecifically, but it is not known whether the (S)-S-oxide or the (R)-S-oxide is produced (By similarity)1

Note=ACTA2 mutations predispose patients to a variety of diffuse and diverse vascular diseases, premature onset coronary artery disease (CAD), premature ischemic strokes and Moyamoya disease Defects in ACTA2 are the cause of familial aortic aneurysm thoracic type 6 (AAT6) [MIM:611788]. AATs are characterized by permanent dilation of the thoracic aorta usually due to degenerative changes in the aortic wall. They are primarily associated with a characteristic histologic appearance known as 'medial necrosis' or 'Erdheim cystic medial necrosis' in which there is degeneration and fragmentation of elastic fibers, loss of smooth muscle cells, and an accumulation of basophilic ground substance Defects in ACTA2 are the cause of Moyamoya disease type 5 (MYMY5) [MIM:614042]. Moyamoya disease is a progressive cerebral angiopathy characterized by bilateral intracranial carotid artery stenosis and telangiectatic vessels in the region of the basal ganglia. The abnormal vessels resemble a 'puff of smoke' (moyamoya) on cerebral angiogram. Affected individuals can develop transient ischemic attacks and/or cerebral infarction, and rupture of the collateral vessels can cause intracranial hemorrhage. Hemiplegia of sudden onset and epileptic seizures constitute the prevailing presentation in childhood, while subarachnoid bleeding occurs more frequently in adults Defects in ACTA2 are the cause of multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDYS) [MIM:613834]. MSMDYS is a syndrome characterized by dysfunction of smooth muscle cells throughout the body, leading to aortic and cerebrovascular disease, fixed dilated pupils, hypotonic bladder, malrotation, and hypoperistalsis of the gut and pulmonary hypertension 20/33 diseases for ACTA2 (see all 33 ): About MalaCards aortic aneurysm multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome thoracic aortic aneurysm familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection loeys-dietz syndrome treacher collins syndrome atrial fibrillation moyamoya disease hemiplegia basal cell carcinoma ulcerative colitis renal cell carcinoma cerebrovascular disease cerebral infarction aortic disease endometriosis hepatitis b copd rhabdomyosarcoma hypertension 3 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for ACTA2 :Thoracic aortic aneurysm Moyamoya disease Loeys-Dietz syndrome GeneTests: ACTA2 Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms and Aortic Dissections Human Genome Epidemiology (HuGE) Navigator: ACTA2 (8 documents) Export disorders for ACTA2 gene to outside databases
