General description
Drebrin is a member of the newly identified ADF-H family of actin-binding proteins that share the structurally conserved actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF) binding module. It is composed of a single ADF-H domain at its N-terminus, followed by a non-conserved central region and a C-terminal SH3 domain. Three isoforms, E1 and E2 (embryonic) and A (adult), have been identified in the brain. An additional truncated form of drebrin A, s-drebrin/A2, is specifically expressed in the adult brain, but not in non-neuronal tissues. Drebrin is also widely expressed in a variety of cells including epithelial, endothelial, and smooth muscle cells and is associated at cell-cell adhering junction sites.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of human drebrin E/A (amino acids 22-42) conjugated to KLH.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Drebrin (developmentally-regulated brain protein) is a major neuronal F-actin binding protein involved in the control of actin dynamics and neuronal morphogenesis. It colocalizes with actin filaments and dendritic-like cell processes and may be involved in actin remodeling. It binds to and dissociates F-actin stabilizing proteins such as α-actinin, fascin, and tropomyosin from actin filaments. It plays an important role in the formation of axons and dendrites during neuronal development and in neuronal plasticity in the adult brain.
Physical form

Drebrin A is a neuron-specific protein, the expression of which is regulated during development. Upon transfection of fibroblasts with drebrin A cDNA, the protein is expressed at high levels in fibroblasts and the outgrowth of highly branched, neurite-like cell processes

Drebrins are developmentally regulated actin-binding proteins. In this study, we analyzed subcellular distribution of drebrin E in neuroblastoma cells (SH-SY5Y) in culture, especially in terms of its relationship to actin filaments. In undifferentiated cells, drebrin E was scattered as flocculus

Drebrin is a development-associated neuroprotein whose cDNA into fibroblasts causes the formation of dendrite-like structures (Shirao, T., Kojima, N., and Obata, K. (1992) Neuroreport 3, 109-112). To explore molecular functions of drebrin during brain development, we purified drebrin from brains

The cytoskeleton has been suggested to be one of the important endogenous factors that control neuronal morphogenesis. Analysis of the developmental changes in the protein composition of the brain led to the discovery of novel developmentally regulated actin-binding proteins, drebrins.
