Abstract
The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is an inherited X-linked disorder characterized by immune deficiency, eczema, and thrombocytopenia with small platelets. The mutated protein, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein, is an activator of actin cytoskeletal reorganization in hematopoietic cells. Members of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family are being shown to be key integrators of cell signalling and cytoskeletal organization in many eukaryotic cell types. This review focuses on recent discoveries that reveal in increasing detail how Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein and its related proteins operate.
