geneOn this page
Summary
FMN2 (formin 2, HGNC:14074) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q43, encoding Formin-2 (Q9NZ56). Actin-binding protein that is involved in actin cytoskeleton assembly and reorganization.
This gene is a member of the formin homology protein family. The encoded protein is thought to have essential roles in organization of the actin cytoskeleton and in cell polarity. This protein mediates the formation of an actin mesh that positions the spindle during oogenesis and also regulates the formation of actin filaments in the nucleus. This protein also forms a perinuclear actin/focal-adhesion system that regulates the shape and position of the nucleus during cell migration. Mutations in this gene have been associated with infertility and also with an autosomal recessive form of intellectual disability (MRT47). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified.

Function. Actin-binding protein that is involved in actin cytoskeleton assembly and reorganization. Acts as an actin nucleation factor and promotes assembly of actin filaments together with SPIRE1 and SPIRE2. Involved in intracellular vesicle transport along actin fibers, providing a novel link between actin cytoskeleton dynamics and intracellular transport. Required for asymmetric spindle positioning, asymmetric oocyte division and polar body extrusion during female germ cell meiosis. Plays a role in responses to DNA damage, cellular stress and hypoxia by protecting CDKN1A against degradation, and thereby plays a role in stress-induced cell cycle arrest. Also acts in the nucleus: together with SPIRE1 and SPIRE2, promotes assembly of nuclear actin filaments in response to DNA damage in order to facilitate movement of chromatin and repair factors after DNA damage. Protects cells against apoptosis by protecting CDKN1A against degradation.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with SPIRE1. Binds actin. Interacts with CDKN1A.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cytosol. Perinuclear region. Nucleus. Nucleolus. Cell membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Cell cortex.
Tissue specificity. Expressed almost exclusively in the developing and mature central nervous system.
Disease relevance. Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 47 (MRT47) [MIM:616193] A disorder characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period. MRT47 patients show delayed development, with cognition and speech more affected than motor skills. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Induction. Up-regulated in response to cellular stress, hypoxia and DNA damage via NF-kappa-B.
Similarity. Belongs to the formin homology family. Cappuccino subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 54 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
