Summary
WIPF1 (WAS/WASL interacting protein family member 1, HGNC:12736) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q31.1, encoding WAS/WASL-interacting protein family member 1 (O43516). Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.
This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. The encoded protein binds to a region of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein that is frequently mutated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder. Impairment of the interaction between these two proteins may contribute to the disease. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.

Function. Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Contributes with NCK1 and GRB2 in the recruitment and activation of WASL. May participate in regulating the subcellular localization of WASL, resulting in the disassembly of stress fibers in favor of filopodia formation. Plays a role in the formation of cell ruffles. Plays an important role in the intracellular motility of vaccinia virus by functioning as an adapter for recruiting WASL to vaccinia virus.
Subunit / interactions. Binds to WAS, profilin and actin. Binds to WASL. Interacts with DBNL. Interacts with FNBP1L (via the SH3 domain).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cell projection. Ruffle.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, spleen, placenta, small intestine, colon and thymus. Lower expression in ovary, heart, brain, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, prostate and testis.
Disease relevance. Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome 2 (WAS2) [MIM:614493] An immunodeficiency disorder characterized by eczema, thrombocytopenia, recurrent infections, defective T-cell proliferation, and impaired natural killer cell function. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Binds to WAS within the N-terminal region 170, at a site distinct from the CDC42-binding site.
Miscellaneous. Recruited to PIP5K-induced vesicle surfaces in the absence of functional WASL.
Similarity. Belongs to the verprolin family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 32 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.
