Fam107a, a member of the family with sequence similarity 107, plays a crucial role in cellular processes, particularly in actin organization and regulation. Predicted to enable actin binding activity, Fam107a is involved in diverse processes such as actin filament organization, cellular response to glucocorticoid stimulus, and negative regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation. Its localization in the actin cytoskeleton, neuron projections, and synapses highlights its importance in structural and functional aspects of cellular physiology. Fam107a is expressed in critical regions such as the diencephalon ventricular layer, hypothalamus ventricular layer, inner ear, and olfactory epithelium, emphasizing its significance in neural and sensory tissues.
While direct activators of Fam107a may not be identified, several chemicals indirectly influence its activity through modulation of specific signaling pathways. Actin polymerization inhibitors like Latrunculin A and Cytochalasin D directly impact Fam107a by disrupting actin dynamics, altering cellular structures. Stabilizing actin filaments with Jasplakinolide promotes direct activation by enhancing Fam107a's binding activity. Indirectly, Rho kinase inhibitors like Y-27632 and myosin II inhibitors like Blebbistatin influence Fam107a through the modulation of the Rho/ROCK pathway and myosin-dependent contractility, respectively. Furthermore, formin inhibitors such as SMIFH2 and CK-548, as well as Arp2/3 complex inhibitors like CK-666, indirectly activate Fam107a by disrupting actin filament elongation and branching, respectively. Myosin light chain kinase inhibitors, including CK-689 and ML-7, provide indirect activation by influencing myosin II phosphorylation. Fam107a's intricate involvement in actin dynamics and its responsiveness to various chemical modulators highlight its significance in cellular processes.
