Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
17591693 Results decribe a mechanism in which signals from the T cell receptor produce WAVE2-ARP2/3-mediated de novo actin polymerization, leading to integrin clustering and high-affinity binding through the recruitment of vinculin and talin.
17459058 Colocalization of Arp2 and WAVE2 is an independent risk factor for liver metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.
17020969 WAVE2 expression is elevated in HCC tissues, which correlates with a poor prognosis, suggesting WAVE2 as a candidate prognostic marker of HCC.
15107862 Results suggest that phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate recruits WAVE2 to the polarized membrane and that this recruitment is essential for lamellipodium formation at the leading edge.
16638851 Coexpression of Arp2 and WAVE2 is correlated with poorer patient outcome.
15070726 reconstitution of the Wave-2 complex and a study of the molecular architecture
16401421 WAVE2 is a key component of the actin regulatory machinery in T cells and that it also participates in linking intracellular calcium store depletion to calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channel activation.
15670045 WAVE-2 and WAVE-3 expression was not changed by the megakaryocytic differentiation; WAVE-1 and WAVE-2 moved from a detergent-soluble cytosolic fraction to insoluble cytoskeleton fraction after platelet aggregation
15048123 The WAVE2-Abi1-Nap1-PIR121 complex is as active as the WAVE2-Abi1 sub-complex in stimulating Arp2/3, and after Rac activation it is re-localized to the leading edge of ruffles in vivo.
16702231 Therefore, IRSp53 optimizes the activity of the WAVE2 complex in the presence of activated Rac and PIP(3).
