UniProt Comments
Ca2+-regulated actin-binding protein. Involved in actin filaments bundling. Caps the barbed end of actin filaments and is able to sever them in a calcium-dependent manner. Required for the construction of actin collars in pollen tubes. Acts redundantly with VLN5 (AC Q9LVC6) to generate thick actin filament bundles and to regulate polarized pollen tube growth (PubMed:23715472). Acts redundantly with VLN3 (AC O81645) to regulate directional organ growth and in sclerenchyma development (PubMed:22209875, PubMed:22563899, respectively).
