Publication Link Summary of findings
18043243 The discovery of unique functional domains of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein has been instrumental in defining mechanisms that control activation of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein. Review.
17890224 that WASP and WASP-interacting protein (WIP) form a complex at the phagocytic cup and that the WASP.WIP complex plays a critical role in the phagocytic cup formation.
17703096 Chinese Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) patients had mutations involving exon 1 of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) gene and none had the X-linked thrombocytopenia phenotype.
17711847 the WIP-WASP complex plays an important role in WASP stabilization and NFAT activation
17719003 Study provides a strategy that allows a strong suppression of WASp in CD34(+) cells and will facilitate future studies on the role of WASp in human cells.
17400488 study found 28 novel WAS mutations in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and X-linked thrombocytopenia (7 missense, 1 nonsense, 1 nonstop change, 5 splice site mutations and 14 deletions or insertions)
17724125 These findings reveal a novel mechanism for inhibition of myelopoiesis through defective mitosis and cytokinesis due to hyperactivation and mislocalization of actin polymerization.
14559906 the interaction of the betaPIX.WASP.SPIN90 complex with Nck is crucial for stable cell adhesion and can be dynamically modulated by SPIN90 phosphorylation that is dependent on cell adhesion and ERK activation
17296785 Thus, WASP appears to play an important role in the activation and suppressor function of nTreg cells, and a dysfunction or incorrect localization of nTreg cells may contribute to the development of autoimmunity in WAS patients.
12591280 X-linked thrombocytopenia caused by a mutation in the WAS gene that disrupts interaction with the (WASP)-interacting protein (WIP).
