wac

Gene
WAC
Protein
WW domain-containing adapter protein with coiled-coil
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
647 amino acids
Function
Acts as a linker between gene transcription and histone H2B monoubiquitination at 'Lys-120' (H2BK120ub1) (PubMed:21329877). Interacts with the RNA polymerase II transcriptional machinery via its WW domain and with RNF20-RNF40 via its coiled coil region, thereby linking and regulating H2BK120ub1 and gene transcription (PubMed:21329877). Regulates the cell-cycle checkpoint activation in response to DNA damage (PubMed:21329877). Positive regulator of amino acid starvation-induced autophagy (PubMed:22354037). Also acts as a negative regulator of basal autophagy (PubMed:26812014). Positively regulates MTOR activity by promoting, in an energy-dependent manner, the assembly of the TTT complex composed of TELO2, TTI1 and TTI2 and the RUVBL complex composed of RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 into the TTT-RUVBL complex. This leads to the dimerization of the mTORC1 complex and its subsequent activation (PubMed:26812014). May negatively regulate the ubiquitin proteasome pathway (PubMed:21329877).

Protein
Fibritin
Organism
Enterobacteria phage T4
Length
487 amino acids
Function
Chaperone involved in tail fiber assembly and retraction. Acts as a chaperone helping to attach the long tail fibers to the virus during the assembly process. During phage assembly, twelve fibritin molecules attach to the phage neck via gp13: six molecules forming the collar and six molecules forming the whiskers.

Protein
Augmin complex subunit wac
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Length
163 amino acids
Function
As part of the augmin complex, plays a role in centrosome-independent generation of spindle microtubules (PubMed:19289792). The complex is required for mitotic spindle assembly through its involvement in localizing gamma-tubulin to spindle microtubules (PubMed:19289792). wac is dispensable for somatic mitosis and for assembly of spindle microtubules in oocytes during female meiosis but is required during female meiosis for chromosome alignment and segregation (PubMed:19289792). It is required for microtubule assembly near spindle poles in oocytes (PubMed:23785300). It is also required for acentrosomal microtubule nucleation and meiotic spindle formation during male meiosis (PubMed:24829288). wac binds to microtubules in vitro (PubMed:19289792).
