Biological function summary
N-WASP functions are critical in cell signaling endocytosis and neurite extension. N-WASP often acts within a complex and interacts with various proteins like Cdc42 to transmit signals from cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton. These activities position N-WASP as a fundamental component for cellular architecture and mobility impacting processes like immune response and neuronal development. Its interaction with Arp2/3 contributes to dynamic changes in cell movement and shape.
Pathways
N-WASP plays a role in Rac and Cdc42 signaling pathways important for actin reorganization. Within these pathways it interacts with proteins such as Rho family GTPases influencing cytoskeletal arrangements. The proper functioning of these pathways is vital for numerous cellular processes including the migration of cells which affects tissue development and repair.

Function
Regulates actin polymerization by stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex (PubMed : 16767080, PubMed : 19366662, PubMed : 19487689, PubMed : 22847007, PubMed : 22921828, PubMed : 9422512). Involved in various processes, such as mitosis and cytokinesis, via its role in the regulation of actin polymerization (PubMed : 19366662, PubMed : 19487689, PubMed : 22847007, PubMed : 22921828, PubMed : 9422512). Together with CDC42, involved in the extension and maintenance of the formation of thin, actin-rich surface projections called filopodia (PubMed : 9422512). In addition to its role in the cytoplasm, also plays a role in the nucleus by regulating gene transcription, probably by promoting nuclear actin polymerization (PubMed : 16767080). Binds to HSF1/HSTF1 and forms a complex on heat shock promoter elements (HSE) that negatively regulates HSP90 expression (By similarity). Plays a role in dendrite spine morphogenesis (By similarity). Decreasing levels of DNMBP (using antisense RNA) alters apical junction morphology in cultured enterocytes, junctions curve instead of being nearly linear (PubMed : 19767742).
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylation at Ser-242, Tyr-256, Ser-484 and Ser-485 enhances actin polymerization activity.
