Gene Description

DIAPH1 is a diaphanous-related formin that couples Rho-family signaling to actin filament assembly. Its FH1–FH2 region promotes actin assembly, while an N-terminal regulatory region and C-terminal autoregulatory segment restrain activity until relieved by activated Rho proteins. Cytosolic and membrane-associated pools organize actin structures; additional nuclear, centrosomal and spindle-associated pools occur in specific cellular settings. DIAPH1 also participates in receptor-linked cytoskeletal signaling and PKD2 localization. Disruption of its regulation or expression affects platelet architecture, hearing and neurodevelopment. Alternative splicing produces three protein isoforms with differences in their internal sequences.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain the experimentally detected RNA contact.
Reason: DIAPH1 is explicitly present in the HeLa mRNA-interactome Table S1 (ENSG00000131504). UV crosslinking and stringent oligo(dT) capture support RNA contact, but the mass-spectrometry assignments were grouped by gene. This establishes neither a particular RNA substrate nor an isoform-specific regulatory mechanism.

GO:0003779 actin binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain actin binding as the molecular basis of the assembly function.
Reason: The target has the annotated FH3 and GTPase-binding domains, and the inherited mouse activity is experimentally grounded. Human DIAPH1 fragments also assemble actin structures in platelet cytosol. The broad actin-binding term accommodates interactions with actin during assembly without restricting the claim to one polymerization state.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain receptor binding with independent target evidence.
Reason: The original 1997 report establishes human genetics and discusses Rho/formin biology; it does not directly assay a signaling-receptor interaction. Independent human RAGE–DIAPH1 experiments establish this activity. Retain the gene-level assertion with that explicit evidence distinction; DIAPH1 is an intracellular receptor partner, not a secreted receptor agonist.

Summary: Specify RHOD binding as small GTPase binding.
Reason: The original purified human-protein experiment explicitly reports weak mDia1 N-terminal binding to RhoD (Figure 6A). The positive interaction is real; actin-assembly rescue was established for RhoA/B/C, not RhoD. Small GTPase binding specifies the partner class without extending the functional assay.

Reason: The primary report includes co-immunoprecipitation and a bacterial-protein overlay using mDia1 residues 261–571 and POPX2. PPM1F is a protein phosphatase, so GO:0019903 supplies a supported partner class. Host-cell identity is not used to assign an unreported species or current isoform to every historical construct.

Reason: Human RAGE cytoplasmic-tail and human lung DIAPH1 constructs were tested by two-hybrid, pull-down and cellular co-immunoprecipitation. Mapping implicates the DIAPH1 FH1 region. This supports signaling receptor binding without assigning the receptor’s extracellular ligand-binding activity to DIAPH1; rat C6 signaling experiments are distinct from the human pair assays.

Reason: The exact IntAct records EBI-6176962 and EBI-6178643 identify human DIAPH1 with HIV-1 retropepsin Q9Q2G4 in affinity-purification and pull-down assays. The viral bait carries a catalytic-site D25 mutation. These experiments support association but do not establish direct protease recognition, proteolytic regulation or a physiological wild-type infection mechanism. Retain the supported generic binding assertion as non-core under the explicit project policy; the protease-binding replacement is withdrawn.

Summary: Retain the hearing-related biological role.
Reason: The original human pedigree study identifies a segregating DIAPH1 splice-donor alteration and cochlear expression. This supports the existing hearing-process statement, while its proposed hair-cell actin mechanisms remain hypotheses. The clinical role is contextual to the actin-assembly machinery.

Core Functions

DIAPH1 is a Rho-regulated formin that binds actin and promotes filament assembly through its FH1–FH2 region. Its N-terminal regulatory region restrains the assembly module through a DID–DAD interaction; active Rho proteins relieve this inhibition. This activity organizes cytoplasmic actin structures, with cellular consequences for shape and adhesion. Human fragment biochemistry and cellular gain-of-function experiments support the integrated actin-assembly mechanism.

Molecular Function:
actin binding

Cellular Locations:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:18218625
    Both formins generated fluorescent filamentous structures on the beads.
  • PMID:26912466
    Overexpression of DIAPH1 R1213* in cells reproduced the cytoskeletal alterations found in platelets.
