TRIOBP-1/Tara directly binds F-actin in vitro and associates with the Trio guanine nucleotide exchange factor (via yeast two-hybrid and mammalian co-immunoprecipitation). Overexpression of Tara stabilizes F-actin structures, enhances stress fibers and cortical actin, and increases cell spreading, while Tara-expressing cells show relative resistance to Latrunculin B-induced F-actin destabilization. |

Mutations in a novel long isoform of TRIOBP (218 kDa) cause DFNB28 hereditary deafness. The long isoform has a restricted expression profile including cochlea, retina, and fetal brain. Antibody staining shows TRIOBP protein expression in sensory cells of the inner ear and colocalization with F-actin along the length of stereocilia. |

HECTD3, a HECT-domain E3 ubiquitin ligase, directly binds TRIOBP-1/Tara in vitro and forms a complex in vivo. HECTD3 overexpression enhances ubiquitination of Tara and promotes its degradation; siRNA depletion of HECTD3 decreases Tara degradation. HECTD3 depletion also leads to multipolar spindle formation, suggesting that HECTD3-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of Tara facilitates cell cycle progression. |

TRIOBP isoform 4 (TRIOBP-4) bundles actin filaments into uniquely dense bundles in vitro resembling stereocilia rootlets. TRIOBP localizes specifically to rootlets of inner ear hair cell stereocilia. Triobp-knockout mice (Triobp(Δex8/Δex8)) are profoundly deaf; their stereocilia develop normally but fail to form rootlets and are easier to deflect and damage. Thus TRIOBP F-actin bundling provides mechanical durability and rigidity to stereocilia. |

Tara is enriched at E-cadherin-based adherens junctions. Tara knockdown in MDCK cells activates Rac1 through the Trio RhoGEF (which binds E-cadherin), leading to increased p38 phosphorylation and phosphorylation of Tbx3, a transcriptional E-cadherin repressor, thereby decreasing E-cadherin transcription. E-cadherin loss is rescued by ITX3 (Trio RhoGEF inhibitor), SB203580 (p38 inhibitor), or dephosphomimetic Tbx3. Tara also modulates circumferential actin-belt density and epithelial cyst morphology. |

Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) interacts with and phosphorylates Tara at Thr-457 in vivo and in vitro. This Plk1-dependent phosphorylation is required for centrosomal localization of Tara. A non-phosphorylatable Tara mutant (T457A) causes aberrant mitotic delay in HeLa cells, demonstrating that Plk1-mediated phosphorylation of Tara at Thr-457 is required for faithful chromosome segregation. |

The R1 repeat motif is the major actin-binding domain of TRIOBP-4. Deletion of both R1 and R2 motifs completely abolishes actin-binding and bundling activities and impairs localization to cellular actin structures. Deletion of R2 alone retains F-actin bundling and actin colocalization. R1-deleted TRIOBP-4 (consisting mainly of R2) forms only thin F-actin bundles in vitro and fails to colocalize with actin filaments in cells. |

TAP68 (TRIOBP-1) interacts with TRF1 in mitotic cells. TAP68 co-localizes with TRF1 to telomeres during interphase. After nuclear envelope breakdown, TAP68 translocates to spindle poles and recruits TRF1. Nek2A-dependent phosphorylation of TAP68 at Thr-221 coincides with its dissociation from telomeres. The first coiled-coil domain of TAP68 is responsible for binding and recruiting TRF1 and tankyrase 1 to the centrosome. siRNA depletion of TAP68 blocks centrosomal localization of TRF1 and tankyrase 1 and perturbs chromosome segregation. |

TRIOBP-4 and TRIOBP-5 are upregulated in pancreatic carcinoma cells. Knockdown of TRIOBP-4/-5 leads to loss of filopodia and decreased cell motility; re-expression of GFP-TRIOBP-4 or -5 restores filopodial formation in TRIOBP-4/-5-deficient PANC-1 cells, demonstrating a role in promoting cell motility via regulation of filopodia actin structures. |

TRIOBP-1 has a high aggregation propensity when over-expressed in neuroblastoma cells, whereas the TRIOBP-4 isoform does not. Endogenous TRIOBP-1 can spontaneously aggregate, doing so more in post-mitotic cell cultures. Aggregated TRIOBP-1 affects cell morphology in Neuroscreen-1 cells. |

Ndel1 interacts physically with Tara (TRIOBP-1). Ndel1- or Tara-deficient cells are defective in cell migration. Tara overexpression accumulates Ndel1 at the cell periphery, co-localizing with F-actin; this redistribution requires the Ndel1-interacting domain of Tara. Co-expression of Ndel1 and Tara causes synergistic increases in F-actin levels and filopodia formation, indicating that the Ndel1-Tara complex regulates actin remodeling during cell movement. |

TRIOBP-1 possesses two distinct coiled-coil domains (central and C-terminal). The central domain inhibits F-actin depolymerization, mediates oligomerization of TRIOBP-1, and affects neurite outgrowth along with the N-terminal PH domain. The aggregation propensity of TRIOBP-1 arises from its central domain, with an 8-25 amino acid linker region (around residues 324-348) between the first two coiled coils being essential for aggregate formation. |

TRIOBP-1 interacts directly with the hERG cardiac potassium channel protein (identified by yeast two-hybrid and confirmed by FRET and co-immunoprecipitation in HEK293 cells and native cardiac tissue). TRIOBP-1 overexpression reduces hERG surface expression and current density (IKr); shRNA knockdown of TRIOBP-1 increases hERG protein levels. In human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes, TRIOBP-1 overexpression causes intracellular co-sequestration of hERG, reduces native IKr, and disrupts action potential repolarization. |

Overexpression of TRIOBP-1 rescues the inhibitory effect of miR-3178 on cell migration and invasion, establishing TRIOBP-1 as a downstream effector of the Sp1/miR-3178 axis in cancer cell metastasis. |

ANKRD24 concentrates at the stereocilia insertion point forming a ring at the junction between lower and upper rootlets, where it surrounds and binds TRIOBP-5 which bundles rootlet F-actin. TRIOBP-5 is mislocalized in Ankrd24KO/KO hair cells, and ANKRD24 no longer localizes with rootlets in mice lacking TRIOBP-5; exogenous DsRed-TRIOBP-5 restores endogenous ANKRD24 to rootlets, demonstrating mutual interdependence. Ankrd24KO/KO mice show progressive hearing loss and increased susceptibility to overstimulation. |

TRIOBP-1 aggregation in neuroblastoma cells can be narrowed to an 8 amino acid region (333-340) as the primary aggregation-critical segment, and a second region at the extreme N-terminus (first 59 amino acids, optionally expressed) can independently induce aggregation; the 597 aa form lacking these 59 aa has reduced aggregation propensity. Insoluble TRIOBP-1 is more prevalent in brains from both schizophrenia and major depressive disorder patients compared to controls. |

In renal fibrosis, retinoic acid (RA) upregulates RAI14, which binds and stabilizes TRIOBP by preventing its HECTD1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. Stabilized TRIOBP enhances F-actin assembly and cytoskeletal tension, leading to YAP nuclear translocation and activation of profibrotic gene programs. Genetic ablation of RAI14 significantly attenuates renal fibrosis in vivo. |

SYISL lncRNA acts as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) that directly binds miR-23a, thereby derepressing TRIOBP expression via its 3'UTR. Knockdown of TRIOBP amplifies anti-fibrotic effects of miR-23a mimics and abolishes pro-fibrotic activity of miR-23a inhibitors, establishing TRIOBP as a downstream effector of the SYISL/miR-23a axis in fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition. |
