What's a GeneRIF?

We studied the interactions between actin and the FH2 domains of formins Cdc12, Bni1 and mDia1 to understand the factors underlying their different rates of polymerization. All-atom molecular dynamics simulations revealed two factors that influence actin filament elongation and correlate with the rates of elongation
Title: Gating mechanisms during actin filament elongation by formins.
Expression of a hyperactive variant of Bni1 (Bni1-V360D) rescues these defects and partially restores proper spindle positioning in the mutant, suggesting that the failure of dma1 dma2 mutant cells to position the spindle is partly due to faulty formin activity.
Title: Control of Formin Distribution and Actin Cable Assembly by the E3 Ubiquitin Ligases Dma1 and Dma2.
Myo1 plays a major role in the septin-dependent Mlc1 localization to the division site before cytokinesis, whereas the formin Bni1 plays a major role in the actin filament-dependent Mlc1 localization during cytokinesis.
Title: Myosin‑II heavy chain and formin mediate the targeting of myosin essential light chain to the division site before and during cytokinesis.
F-actin stabilization is regulated by yeast formins Bni1p and Bnr1p
Title: Importance of a Lys113-Glu195 intermonomer ionic bond in F-actin stabilization and regulation by yeast formins Bni1p and Bnr1p.
Data indicate that small forces on the filaments dramatically slowed formin Bni1p-mediated polymerization in the absence of profilin, but resulted in faster polymerization in the presence of profilin.
Title: Tension modulates actin filament polymerization mediated by formin and profilin.
four regions in Bni1p that contribute to its localization to the bud and at the bud neck were difined
Title: Yeast formin Bni1p has multiple localization regions that function in polarized growth and spindle orientation.
A novel regulatory input to Bni1p acting through the Cdc42p effector, Gic2p.
Title: Cdc42p regulation of the yeast formin Bni1p mediated by the effector Gic2p.
data suggest that the R256H actin mutation alters filament conformation resulting in filament instability and misregulation by formin
Title: Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAAD)-causing mutation in actin affects formin regulation of polymerization.
During polarization, cells change from fast to slow cable dynamics through spatio-temporal regulation of Bni1, Bnr1 and Myo2.
Title: Cortical actin dynamics driven by formins and myosin V.
Yeast expressing the nonlocalized actin nucleating/assembly formin homology (FH) 1-FH2 domains of Bnr1p or Bni1p as the sole formin grow well.
Title: Polarized growth in budding yeast in the absence of a localized formin.

Preferred Names: formin BNI1

NP_014128.2

Formin; polarisome component; nucleates the formation of linear actin filaments, involved in budding and mitotic spindle orientation which require the formation of polarized actin cables; recruited to the division site in a Glc7p/Ref2p dependent manner following release of Bnr1p; spatially focuses Bni1p at mating projection tips, and with Bud6p organizes Bni1p into clusters that nucleate actin assembly during mating projection formation; some functional redundancy with BNR1
