The Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) family functions downstream of Rho GTPases to mediate the branched-actin network formation required for cytoskeletal remodeling, intracellular transport, and cell motility. This family includes WASP, N-WASP, and three WAVE/SCAR isoforms (WAVE1, 2, and 3). Two new WASP subfamilies are WASH and WHAMM. WASH is an F-actin binding protein that can promote Arp2/3-mediated branch actin nucleation. The WASH protein contains two WASH homology domains, a proline-rich region, and a C-terminal VCA domain. WASH can interact with dynamin, FAM21, and tubulin, and WASH activity may be regulated downstream of Rho GTPases. WASH interaction with FAM21 has been implicated in endosome sorting, and inactivation of WASH leads to endosome tubulation. Thus, WASH may be a critical element in the regulation of the actin filament and microtubule networks that mediate endosomal sorting and fission.

Western blot of human Jurkat cells (lanes 1-3). The blots were probed with anti-WASH (C-terminal region) rabbit polyclonal antibody at 1:250 (lane 1) or at 1:1000 in the absence (lane 2) or presence of WASH blocking peptide (WX4005) (lane 3).
Immunocytochemical labeling of WASH relative to F-actin in chick DRG neurons. The cells were labeled with rabbit polyclonal WASH (C-terminal region) antibody (WP4001), then the antibody was detected using appropriate secondary antibody (Green). On the left, this WASH labeling is compared to F-actin staining (Red). (Image provided by Dr. Gianluca Gallo at Drexel University).
