Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 3.5Å Ligands: , , Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function ACT2_PLAFX Actin is a highly conserved protein that polymerizes to produce filaments that form cross-linked networks in the cytoplasm. Polymerizes into longer and more stable actin filaments compared to ACT1/actin-1. Has ATPase activity. ATP hydrolysis leads to the formation of a stable intermediate ADP-inorganic phosphate (Pi) actin, which is followed by the release of Pi. ATP hydrolysis affects filament stability; ADP-bound actin depolymerizes much faster than ATP- or ADP-Pi-bound actin. Plays an essential role in male gametocyte development in the mosquito midgut, functioning in several processes including male gametocyte egress from host erythrocytes, formation of a beating flagellum and relocalization of ACT1/actin-1 to the cytoplasm. On the basal side of the mosquito midgut epithelium, required for the development of ookinetes into sporogonic oocysts.[UniProtKB:Q4YU79]
