== Function ==
 +
[[Vinculin|Vinculins]] (VCLs) are involved in adhesion by linking integrin molecules to the actin cytoskeleton. Its head domain (Vd1) can bind to [[Talin|talin]] or to [[Actinin|alpha-actinin]] at their respective VCL Binding Sites (VBS)<ref>PMID:11152287</ref>. The protein raver1 RNA Recognition Motif (RRM) forms a complex with VCL or m-VCL. '''Metavinculin''' (m-VCL) is a splice version of VCL containing an extra ca. 70 amino acids in the C-terminal domain.

[[Vinculin|Vinculins]] (VCLs) are involved in adhesion by linking integrin molecules to the actin cytoskeleton. Its head domain (Vd1) can bind to [[Talin|talin]] or to [[Actinin|alpha-actinin]] at their respective VCL Binding Sites (VBS). A splice variant of vinculin is meta-vinculin (m-VCL). The protein raver1 RNA Recognition Motif (RRM) forms a complex with VCL or m-VCL. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Vinculin structure, ''i.e.'' crystal structure of human full-length Vinculin ([[1tr2]]).

Loss of VCL could be used as a prognostic factor for colorectal cancer se it promotes metastasis<ref>PMID:25496021</ref>.

== Disease ==

Mutation in m-VCL can yield cardiomyopathic phenotype<ref>PMID:16236538</ref>.

<scene name='Sandbox_27/Role_i997_vinculin_head-tail_1/1'>Vinculin Autoinhibition</scene> is achieved through a high affinity intramolecular interaction between tail (orange) and head (aqua) domains ([[1st6]]). Energetically, I997 is key to maintaining this autoinhibition.
