What is Vrp1?

Vrp1 (verprolin, End5) is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae actin-associated protein and is related to mammalian Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP)-interacting protein (WIP). N-Vrp1 exhibits diffuse cytoplasmic localization and functions in cytokinesis without efficiently restoring polarization of cortical actin patches.

What does verprolin regulate in yeast?

Yeast verprolin, encoded by VRP1, is implicated in cell growth, cytoskeletal organization, endocytosis and mitochondrial protein distribution and function.
