Function
- necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins & subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton
- role in axon guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse & cell migration
- phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR
- homotetramer, & heterotetramer with CRMP1, DPYSL2, DPYSL3 or DPYSL5
- interacts with PLEXA1 (putative)
Structure
- belongs to the DHOase family, hydantoinase/dihydropyrimidinase subfamily
- lacks most of the conserved residues essential for binding the metal cofactor & hence for dihydropyrimidinase activity
