Q96L34

FUNCTION: Ena/VASP proteins are actin-associated proteins involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance, lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics, platelet activation and cell migration. VASP promotes actin filament elongation. It protects the barbed end of growing actin filaments against capping and increases the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of capping protein. VASP stimulates actin filament elongation by promoting the transfer of profilin-bound actin monomers onto the barbed end of growing actin filaments. Plays a role in actin-based mobility of Listeria monocytogenes in host cells. Regulates actin dynamics in platelets and plays an important role in regulating platelet aggregation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10087267, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10438535, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15939738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17082196, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18559661}.FUNCTION: Serine/threonine-protein kinase (PubMed:15009667, PubMed:14594945, PubMed:23666762, PubMed:23184942). Phosphorylates the microtubule-associated protein MAPT/TAU (PubMed:14594945, PubMed:23666762). Also phosphorylates the microtubule-associated proteins MAP2 and MAP4 (PubMed:14594945). Involved in regulation of the microtubule network, causing reorganization of microtubules into bundles (PubMed:14594945, PubMed:25123532). Required for the initiation of axoneme extension during cilium assembly (PubMed:23400999). Regulates the centrosomal location of ODF2 and phosphorylates ODF2 in vitro (PubMed:23400999). Plays a role in cell cycle progression, specifically in the G1/S checkpoint (PubMed:25123532). Reduces neuronal cell survival (PubMed:15009667). Plays a role in energy homeostasis by regulating satiety and metabolic rate (By similarity). Promotes adipogenesis by activating JNK1 and inhibiting the p38MAPK pathway, and triggers apoptosis by activating the JNK1 pathway (By similarity). Phosphorylates mTORC1 complex member RPTOR and acts as a negative regulator of the mTORC1 complex, probably due to disruption of the interaction between phosphorylated RPTOR and the RRAGA/RRAGC heterodimer which is required for mTORC1 activation (PubMed:23184942). Involved in NLRP3 positioning along microtubules by mediating NLRP3 recruitment to microtubule organizing center (MTOC) upon inflammasome activation (PubMed:28656979). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CIP4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14594945, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15009667, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23184942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23400999, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23666762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25123532, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28656979}.
