Summary
DIAPH3 (diaphanous related formin 3, HGNC:15480) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q21.2, encoding Protein diaphanous homolog 3 (Q9NSV4). Actin nucleation and elongation factor required for the assembly of F-actin structures, such as actin cables and stress fibers.
This gene encodes a member of the diaphanous subfamily of the formin family. Members of this family are involved in actin remodeling and regulate cell movement and adhesion. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant auditory neuropathy 1. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Actin nucleation and elongation factor required for the assembly of F-actin structures, such as actin cables and stress fibers. Required for cytokinesis, stress fiber formation and transcriptional activation of the serum response factor. Binds to GTP-bound form of Rho and to profilin: acts in a Rho-dependent manner to recruit profilin to the membrane, where it promotes actin polymerization. DFR proteins couple Rho and Src tyrosine kinase during signaling and the regulation of actin dynamics. Also acts as an actin nucleation and elongation factor in the nucleus by promoting nuclear actin polymerization inside the nucleus to drive serum-dependent SRF-MRTFA activity.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated.
Disease relevance. Auditory neuropathy, autosomal dominant 1 (AUNA1) [MIM:609129] A form of sensorineural hearing loss with absent or severely abnormal auditory brainstem response, in the presence of normal cochlear outer hair cell function and normal otoacoustic emissions. Auditory neuropathies result from a lesion in the area including the inner hair cells, connections between the inner hair cells and the cochlear branch of the auditory nerve, the auditory nerve itself and auditory pathways of the brainstem. Affected individuals typically respond to sound but have difficulties in speech discrimination. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A disease-causing mutation in the conserved 5’-UTR leads to increased protein expression.
Domain organisation. The DAD domain regulates activation via by an autoinhibitory interaction with the GBD/FH3 domain. This autoinhibition is released upon competitive binding of an activated GTPase. The release of DAD allows the FH2 domain to then nucleate and elongate nonbranched actin filaments.
Similarity. Belongs to the formin homology family. Diaphanous subfamily.
