>gnl|CDD|188776 cd09390, LIM2_dLMO, The second LIM domain of dLMO (Beaderx). The
second LIM domain of dLMO (Beaderx): dLMO is a nuclear
protein that plays important roles in transcriptional
regulation and development. In Drosophila dLMO modulates
the activity of LIM-homeodomain protein Apterous (Ap),
which regulates the formation of the dorsal-ventral axis
of the Drosophila wing. Biochemical analysis shows that
dLMO protein influences the activity of Apterous by
binding of its cofactor Chip. Further studies shown that
dLMO proteins might function in an evolutionarily
conserved mechanism involved in patterning the
appendages. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in
size and share two characteristic zinc finger motifs.
The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues,
mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond
to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or
scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein
complexes.

>gnl|CDD|188775 cd09389, LIM2_LMO1_LMO3, The second LIM domain of LMO1 and LMO3
(LIM domain only protein 1 and 3). The second LIM
domain of LMO1 and LMO3 (LIM domain only protein 1 and
3): LMO1 and LMO3 are highly homologous and belong to
the LMO protein family. LMO1 and LMO3 are nuclear
protein that plays important roles in transcriptional
regulation and development. As LIM domains lack
intrinsic DNA-binding activity, nuclear LMOs are
involved in transcriptional regulation by forming
complexes with other transcription factors or cofactors.
For example, LMO1 interacts with the the bHLH domain of
bHLH transcription factor, TAL1 (T-cell acute
leukemia1)/SCL (stem cell leukemia) . LMO1 inhibits the
expression of TAL1/SCL target genes. LMO3 facilitates
p53 binding to its response elements, which suggests
that LMO3 acts as a co-repressor of p53, suppressing
p53-dependent transcriptional regulation. In addition,
LMO3 interacts with neuronal transcription factor, HEN2,
and acts as an oncogene in neuroblastoma. Another
binding partner of LMO3 is calcium- and integrin-binding
protein CIB, which binds via the second LIM domain
(LIM2) of LMO3. One role of the CIB/LMO3 complex is to
inhibit cell proliferation. Although LMO1 and LMO3 are
highly homologous proteins, they play different roles in
the regulation of the pituitary glycoprotein hormone
alpha-subunit (alpha GSU) gene. Alpha GSU promoter
activity was markedly repressed by LMO1 but activated by
LMO3. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and
share two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two
zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly
cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to two
zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or

>gnl|CDD|188773 cd09387, LIM2_LMO4, The second LIM domain of LMO4 (LIM domain only
protein 4). The second LIM domain of LMO4 (LIM domain
only protein 4): LMO4 is a nuclear protein that plays
important roles in transcriptional regulation and
development. LMO4 is involved in various functions in
tumorigenesis and cellular differentiation. LMO4
proteins regulate gene expression by interacting with a
wide variety of transcription factors and cofactors to
form large transcription complexes. It can interact with
Smad proteins, and associate with the promoter of the
PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) gene in a
TGFbeta (transforming growth factor beta)-dependent
manner. LMO4 can also form a complex with transcription
regulator CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein)
and interact with CLIM1 and CLIM2. In breast tissue,
LMO4 interacts with multiple proteins, including the
cofactor CtIP [CtBP (C-terminal binding
protein)-interacting protein], the breast and ovarian
tumor suppressor BRCA1 (breast-cancer susceptibility
gene 1) and the LIM-domain-binding protein LDB1.
Functionally, LMO4 is shown to repress BRCA1-mediated
transcription activation, thus invoking a potential role
for LMO4 as a negative regulator of BRCA1 in sporadic
breast cancer. LMO4 also forms complex to both ERa
(oestrogen receptor alpha), MTA1 (metastasis tumor
antigen 1), and HDACs (histone deacetylases), implying
that LMO4 is also a component of the MTA1 corepressor
complex. Over-expressed LMO4 represses ERa
transactivation functions in an HDAC-dependent manner,
and contributes to the process of breast cancer
progression by allowing the development of Era-negative
phenotypes. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in
size and share two characteristic zinc finger motifs.
The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues,
mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond
to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or

only protein 2): LMO2 is a nuclear protein that plays
important roles in transcriptional regulation and
development. The two tandem LIM domains of LMO2 support
the assembly of a crucial cell-regulatory complex by
interacting with both the TAL1-E47 and GATA1
transcription factors to form a DNA-binding complex that
is capable of transcriptional activation. LMOs have also
been shown to be involved in oncogenesis. LMO1 and LMO2
are activated in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia by
distinct chromosomal translocations. LMO2 was also shown
to be involved in erythropoiesis and is required for the
hematopoiesis in the adult animals. All LIM domains are

>gnl|CDD|188762 cd09376, LIM2_Lhx3_Lhx4, The second LIM domain of Lhx3-Lhx4 family.
The second LIM domain of Lhx3-Lhx4 family: Lhx3 and
Lhx4 belong to the LHX protein family, which features
two tandem N-terminal LIM domains and a C-terminal DNA
binding homeodomain. Members of LHX family are found in
the nucleus and act as transcription factors or
cofactors. LHX proteins are critical for the development
of specialized cells in multiple tissue types, including
the nervous system, skeletal muscle, the heart, the
kidneys, and endocrine organs, such as the pituitary
gland and the pancreas. The LHX3 and LHX4
LIM-homeodomain transcription factors play essential
roles in pituitary gland and nervous system development.
Although LHX3 and LHX4 share marked sequence homology,
the genes have different expression patterns. They play
overlapping, but distinct functions during the
establishment of the specialized cells of the mammalian
pituitary gland and the nervous system. Lhx3 proteins
have been demonstrated the ability to directly bind to
the promoters/enhancers of several pituitary hormone
gene promoters to cause increased transcription.Lhx3a
and Lhx3b, whose mRNAs have distinct temporal expression
profiles during development, are two isoforms of Lhx3.
LHX4 plays essential roles in pituitary gland and
nervous system development. In mice, the lhx4 gene is
expressed in the developing hindbrain, cerebral cortex,
pituitary gland, and spinal cord. LHX4 shows significant
sequence similarity to LHX3, particularly to isoforms
Lhx3a. In gene regulation experiments, the LHX4 protein
exhibits regulation roles towards pituitary genes,
acting on their promoters/enhancers. As in other LIM
domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino acids in size
and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The
two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues,
mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond

family. The second LIM domain of Lhx2 and Lhx9 family:
Lhx2 and Lhx9 are highly homologous LHX regulatory
proteins. They belong to the LHX protein family, which
features two tandem N-terminal LIM domains and a
C-terminal DNA binding homeodomain. Members of LHX
family are found in the nucleus and act as transcription
factors or cofactors. LHX proteins are critical for the
development of specialized cells in multiple tissue
types, including the nervous system, skeletal muscle,
the heart, the kidneys, and endocrine organs, such as
the pituitary gland and the pancreas. Although Lhx2 and
Lhx9 are highly homologous, they seems to play
regulatory roles in different organs. In animals, Lhx2
plays important roles in eye, cerebral cortex, limb, the
olfactory organs, and erythrocyte development. Lhx2 gene
knockout mice exhibit impaired patterning of the
cortical hem and the telencephalon of the developing
brain, and a lack of development in olfactory
structures. Lhx9 is expressed in several regions of the
developing mouse brain, the spinal cord, the pancreas,
in limb mesenchyme, and in the urogenital region. Lhx9
plays critical roles in gonad development. Homozygous
mice lacking functional Lhx9 alleles exhibit numerous
urogenital defects, such as gonadal agenesis,
infertility, and undetectable levels of testosterone and
estradiol coupled with high FSH levels. Lhx9 null mice
are phenotypically female, even those that are
genotypically male. As in other LIM domains, this domain

expressed in multiple tissues, including the roof plate
of the neural tube, the developing brain, the otic
vesicles, the notochord, and the pancreas. In mouse,
mutations in Lmx1a result in failure of the roof plate
to develop. Lmx1a may act upstream of other roof plate
markers such as MafB, Gdf7, Bmp6, and Bmp7. Further
characterization of these mice reveals numerous defects
including disorganized cerebellum, hippocampus, and
cortex; altered pigmentation; female sterility, skeletal
defects, and behavioral abnormalities. In the mouse,
Lmx1b functions in the developing limbs and eyes, the
kidneys, the brain, and in cranial mesenchyme. The
disruption of Lmx1b gene results kidney and limb
defects. In the brain, Lmx1b is important for generation
of mesencephalic dopamine neurons and the
differentiation of serotonergic neurons. In the mouse

LIM domain of Lhx3b. Lhx3b is a member of LHX protein
family, which features two tandem N-terminal LIM domains
and a C-terminal DNA binding homeodomain. Members of LHX
family are found in the nucleus and act as transcription
factors or cofactors. LHX proteins are critical for the
development of specialized cells in multiple tissue
types, including the nervous system, skeletal muscle,
the heart, the kidneys, and endocrine organs, such as
the pituitary gland and the pancreas. Lhx3b is one of
the two isoforms of Lhx3. The Lhx3 gene is expressed in
the ventral spinal cord, the pons, the medulla
oblongata, and the pineal gland of the developing
nervous system during mouse embryogenesis, and
transcripts are found in the emergent pituitary gland.
Lhx3 functions in concert with other transcription
factors to specify interneuron and motor neuron fates
during development. Lhx3 proteins have been demonstrated
to directly bind to the promoters of several pituitary
hormone gene promoters. The Lhx3 gene encodes two
isoforms, LHX3a and LHX3b that differ in their
amino-terminal sequences, where Lhx3a has longer
N-terminal. They show differential activation of
pituitary hormone genes and distinct DNA binding
properties. In human, Lhx3a trans-activated the
alpha-glycoprotein subunit promoter and genes containing
a high-affinity Lhx3 binding site more effectively than
the hLhx3b isoform. In addition, hLhx3a induce
transcription of the TSHbeta-subunit gene by acting on
pituitary POU domain factor, Pit-1, while hLhx3b does
not. As in other LIM domains, this domain family is
50-60 amino acids in size and shares two characteristic
zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight
conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines,
which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains
function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the
assembly of multimeric protein.

LHX proteins are critical for the development of
specialized cells in multiple tissue types, including
the nervous system, skeletal muscle, the heart, the

isolated originally by virtue of its ability to bind DNA
sequences from the 5'-flanking region of the rat insulin
gene in pancreatic insulin-producing cells. Mice
deficient in Isl-1 fail to form the dorsal exocrine
pancreas and islet cells fail to differentiate. On the
other hand, Isl-1 takes part in the pituitary
development by activating the gonadotropin-releasing
hormone receptor gene together with LHX3 and
steroidogenic factor 1. Mouse Isl2 is expressed in the
retinal ganglion cells and the developing spinal cord
where it plays a role in motor neuron development. Same
as Isl1, Isl2 may also be able to bind to the insulin
gene enhancer to promote gene activation. All LIM

of specialized cells in multiple tissue types, including
the nervous system, skeletal muscle, the heart, the
kidneys, and endocrine organs, such as the pituitary

the vertebrate head organizer, the nervous system, and
female reproductive tract development. During
embryogenesis in the mouse, Lhx1 is expressed early in
mesodermal tissue, then later during urogenital, kidney,
liver, and nervous system development. In the adult,
expression is restricted to the kidney and brain. A
mouse embryos with Lhx1 gene knockout cannot grow normal
anterior head structures, kidneys, and gonads, but with
normally developed trunk and tail morphology. In the
developing nervous system, Lhx1 is required to direct
the trajectories of motor axons in the limb. Lhx1 null
female mice lack the oviducts and uterus. Lhx5 protein
may play complementary or overlapping roles with Lhx1.
The expression of Lhx5 in the anterior portion of the
mouse neural tube suggests a role in patterning of the
forebrain. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size

Ajuba like LIM protein family includes three highly
homologous proteins Ajuba, Limd1, and WTIP. Members of
the family contain three tandem C-terminal LIM domains
and a proline-rich N-terminal region. This family of
proteins functions as scaffolds, participating in the
assembly of numerous protein complexes. In the
cytoplasm, Ajuba binds Grb2 to modulate serum-stimulated
ERK activation. Ajuba also recruits the TNF
receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) to p62 and
activates PKCKappa activity. Ajuba interacts with
alpha-catenin and F-actin to contribute to the formation
or stabilization of adheren junctions by linking
adhesive receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. Although
Ajuba is a cytoplasmic protein, it can shuttle into the
nucleus. In nucleus, Ajuba functions as a corepressor
for the zinc finger-protein Snail. It binds to the SNAG
repression domain of Snail through its LIM region.
Arginine methyltransferase-5 (Prmt5), a protein in the
complex, is recruited to Snai l through an interaction
with Ajuba. This ternary complex functions to repress
E-cadherin, a Snail target gene. In addition, Ajuba
contains functional nuclear-receptor interacting motifs
and selectively interacts with retinoic acid receptors
(RARs) and rexinoid receptor (RXRs) to negatively
regulate retinoic acid signaling. Wtip, the
Wt1-interacting protein, was originally identified as an
interaction partner of the Wilms tumour protein 1 (WT1).
Wtip is involved in kidney and neural crest development.
Wtip interacts with the receptor tyrosine kinase Ror2
and inhibits canonical Wnt signaling. LIMD1 was reported
to inhibit cell growth and metastases. The inhibition
may be mediated through an interaction with the protein
barrier-to-autointegration (BAF), a component of SWI/SNF
chromatin-remodeling protein; or through the interaction
with retinoblastoma protein (pRB), resulting in
inhibition of E2F-mediated transcription, and expression
of the majority of genes with E2F1- responsive elements.
Recently, Limd1 was shown to interact with the
p62/sequestosome protein and influence IL-1 and RANKL
signaling by facilitating the assembly of a
p62/TRAF6/a-PKC multi-protein complex. The Limd1-p62
interaction affects both NF-kappaB and AP-1 activity in
epithelial cells and osteoclasts. Moreover, LIMD1
functions as tumor repressor to block lung tumor cell
line in vitro and in vivo. Recent studies revealed that
LIM proteins Wtip, LIMD1 and Ajuba interact with
components of RNA induced silencing complexes (RISC) as
well as eIF4E and the mRNA m7GTP cap-protein complex and
are required for microRNA-mediated gene silencing. As
in other LIM domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino
acids in size and shares two characteristic zinc finger
motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved
residues, mostly cysteines and histidines, which
coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains
function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the
assembly of multimeric protein.

Recruitment of this protein to the plasma membrane
occurs in a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-dependent
manner. TRIP6 recruits a number of molecules involved in
actin assembly, cell motility, survival and
transcriptional control. The function of TRIP6 in cell
motility is regulated by Src-dependent phosphorylation

coupling to the Crk SH2 domain, which is required for
the function of TRIP6 in promoting lysophosphatidic acid
(LPA)-induced cell migration. TRIP6 can shuttle to the
nucleus to serve as a coactivator of AP-1 and NF-kappaB
transcriptional factors. Moreover, TRIP6 can form a
ternary complex with the NHERF2 PDZ protein and LPA2
receptor to regulate LPA-induced activation of ERK and

The Enigma LIM domain family is comprised of three
members: Enigma, ENH, and Cypher (mouse)/ZASP (human).
These subfamily members contain a single PDZ domain at
the N-terminus and three LIM domains at the C-terminus.
Enigma was initially characterized in humans and is
expressed in multiple tissues, such as skeletal muscle,
heart, bone and brain. The third LIM domain specifically
interacts with the insulin receptor and the second LIM
domain interacts with the receptor tyrosine kinase Ret
and the adaptor protein APS. Thus Enigma is implicated
in signal transduction processes, such as mitogenic
activity, insulin related actin organization, and
glucose metabolism. The second member, ENH protein, was
first identified in rat brain. It has been shown that
ENH interacts with protein kinase D1 (PKD1) via its LIM
domains and forms a complex with PKD1 and the alpha1C
subunit of cardiac L-type voltage-gated calcium channel
in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. The N-terminal PDZ
domain interacts with alpha-actinin at the Z-line.
ZASP/Cypher is required for maintenance of Z-line
structure during muscle contraction, but not required
for Z-line assembly. In heart, Cypher/ZASP plays a
structural role through its interaction with
cytoskeletal Z-line proteins. In addition, there is
increasing evidence that Cypher/ZASP also performs
signaling functions. Studies reveal that Cypher/ZASP
interacts with and directs PKC to the Z-line, where PKC
phosphorylates downstream signaling targets. LIM domains

N-terminal LIM domains and a C-terminal DNA binding
homeodomain. Isl1 and Isl2 are the two conserved
members of this family. Proteins in this group are
found in the nucleus and act as transcription factors

development of specialized cells in multiple tissue
types, including the nervous system, skeletal muscle,
the heart, the kidneys, and endocrine organs, such as
the pituitary gland and the pancreas. Isl-1 is one of
the LHX proteins isolated originally by virtue of its
ability to bind DNA sequences from the 5'-flanking
region of the rat insulin gene in pancreatic
insulin-producing cells. Mice deficient in Isl-1 fail
to form the dorsal exocrine pancreas and islet cells
fail to differentiate. On the other hand, Isl-1 takes
part in the pituitary development by activating the
gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor gene together
with LHX3 and steroidogenic factor 1. Mouse Is l2 is
expressed in the retinal ganglion cells and the
developing spinal cord where it plays a role in motor
neuron development. Same as Isl1, Isl2 may also be able
to bind to the insulin gene enhancer to promote gene
activation. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in
size and share two characteristic zinc finger motifs.

critical for the development of specialized cells in
multiple tissue types, including the nervous system,
skeletal muscle, the heart, the kidneys, and endocrine
organs, such as the pituitary gland and the pancreas.
Lhx3a is one of the two isoforms of Lhx3. The Lhx3 gene
is expressed in the ventral spinal cord, the pons, the
medulla oblongata, and the pineal gland of the
developing nervous system during mouse embryogenesis,
and transcripts are found in the emergent pituitary
gland. Lhx3 functions in concert with other
transcription factors to specify interneuron and motor
neuron fates during development. Lhx3 proteins have
been demonstrated to directly bind to the promoters of
several pituitary hormone gene promoters. The Lhx3 gene
encodes two isoforms, LHX3a and LHX3b that differ in
their amino-terminal sequences, where Lhx3a has longer
N-terminal. They show differential activation of
pituitary hormone genes and distinct DNA binding
properties. In human, Lhx3a trans-activated the
alpha-glycoprotein subunit promoter and genes
containing a high-affinity Lhx3 binding site more
effectively than the hLhx3b isoform. In addition,
hLhx3a induce transcription of the TSHbeta-subunit gene

hLhx3b does not. As in other LIM domains, this domain

domain of Thyroid receptor-interacting protein 6
(TRIP6): TRIP6 is a member of the zyxin LIM protein
family and contains three LIM zinc-binding domains at
the C-terminal. TRIP6 protein localizes to focal
adhesion sites and along actin stress fibers.
Recruitment of this protein to the plasma membrane
occurs in a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA)-dependent
manner. TRIP6 recruits a number of molecules involved
in actin assembly, cell motility, survival and
transcriptional control. The function of TRIP6 in cell
motility is regulated by Src-dependent phosphorylation
at a Tyr residue. The phosphorylation activates the
coupling to the Crk SH2 domain, which is required for
the function of TRIP6 in promoting lysophosphatidic
acid (LPA)-induced cell migration. TRIP6 can shuttle to
the nucleus to serve as a coactivator of AP-1 and
NF-kappaB transcriptional factors. Moreover, TRIP6 can
form a ternary complex with the NHERF2 PDZ protein and
LPA2 receptor to regulate LPA-induced activation of ERK
and AKT, rendering cells resistant to chemotherapy.
Recent evidence shows that TRIP6 antagonizes
Fas-Induced apoptosis by enhancing the antiapoptotic
effect of LPA in cells. As in other LIM domains, this

role in SMC migration. LPP is localized at sites of
cell adhesion, cell-cell contacts and transiently in
the nucleus. In nucleus, it acts as a coactivator for
the ETS domain transcription factor PEA3. In addition
to PEA3, it interacts with alpha-actinin,vasodilator
stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP),Palladin, and Scrib.
The LIM domains are the main focal adhesion targeting
elements and that the proline- rich region, which
harbors binding sites for alpha-actinin and
vasodilator- stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP), has a
weak targeting capacity. As in other LIM domains, this
domain family is 50-60 amino acids in size and shares
two characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc
fingers contain eight conserved residues, mostly
cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond to
two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as adaptors or

Lhx3b is one of the two isoforms of Lhx3. The Lhx3 gene
is expressed in the ventral spinal cord, the pons, the
medulla oblongata, and the pineal gland of the
developing nervous system during mouse embryogenesis,
and transcripts are found in the emergent pituitary
gland. Lhx3 functions in concert with other
transcription factors to specify interneuron and motor
neuron fates during development. Lhx3 proteins have
been demonstrated to directly bind to the promoters of
several pituitary hormone gene promoters. The Lhx3 gene
encodes two isoforms, LHX3a and LHX3b that differ in
their amino-terminal sequences, where Lhx3a has longer
N-terminal. They show differential activation of
pituitary hormone genes and distinct DNA binding
properties. In human, Lhx3a trans-activated the
alpha-glycoprotein subunit promoter and genes
containing a high-affinity Lhx3 binding site more

members LIMK1 and LIMK2. LIMK contains two LIM domains,
a PDZ domain and a kinase domain. LIMK is involved in
the regulation of actin polymerization and microtubule
disassembly. LIMK influences architecture of the actin
cytoskeleton by regulating the activity of the cofilin
family proteins cofilin1, cofilin2, and destrin. The
mechanism of the activation is to phosphorylates cofilin
on serine 3 and inactivates its actin-severing activity,
and altering the rate of actin depolymerization. LIMKs
can function in both cytoplasm and nucleus and are
expressed in all tissues. Both LIMK1 and LIMK2 can act
in the nucleus to suppress Rac/Cdc42-dependent cyclin D1
expression. However, LIMK1 and LIMk2 have different
cellular locations. While LIMK1 localizes mainly at
focal adhesions, LIMK2 is found in cytoplasmic punctae,
suggesting that they may have different cellular
functions. The LIM domains of LIMK have been shown to
play an important role in regulating kinase activity and

These are inverting enzymes (i.e. they invert the
stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon atom of the
substrate) that have an aspartate as the catalytic
general base, a glutamate as the catalytic general acid
and another aspartate that is responsible for pKa

enzymes are important in the food industry for efficient
production of L-arabinose from agricultural waste;
L-arabinose is often used as a bioactive sweetener. A

cellsubstratum adhesion in fibroblasts, Zyxin interacts
with alpha-actinin, members of the cysteine-rich
protein (CRP) family, proteins that display Src
homology 3 (SH3) domains and Ena/VASP family members.
Zyxin and its partners have been implicated in the

in pathways important for cell differentiation. In
addition to its functions at focal adhesion plaques,
recent work has shown that zyxin moves from the sites
of cell contacts to the nucleus, where it directly

critical for the development of specialized cells in
multiple tissue types, including the nervous system,
skeletal muscle, the heart, the kidneys, and endocrine
organs, such as the pituitary gland and the pancreas.
LHX4 plays essential roles in pituitary gland and
nervous system development. In mice, the lhx4 gene is
expressed in the developing hindbrain, cerebral cortex,
pituitary gland, and spinal cord. LHX4 shows
significant sequence similarity to LHX3, particularly
to isoforms Lhx3a. In gene regulation experiments, the

proteins. The second LIM domain of Ajuba-like
proteins: Ajuba like LIM protein family includes three
highly homologous proteins Ajuba, Limd1, and WTIP.
Members of the family contain three tandem C-terminal
LIM domains and a proline-rich N-terminal region. This
family of proteins functions as scaffolds,
participating in the assembly of numerous protein
complexes. In the cytoplasm, Ajuba binds Grb2 to
modulate serum-stimulated ERK activation. Ajuba also
recruits the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)
to p62 and activates PKCKappa activity. Ajuba interacts
with alpha-catenin and F-actin to contribute to the
formation or stabilization of adheren junctions by
linking adhesive receptors to the actin cytoskeleton.
Although Ajuba is a cytoplasmic protein, it can shuttle
into the nucleus. In nucleus, Ajuba functions as a
corepressor for the zinc finger-protein Snail. It binds
to the SNAG repression domain of Snail through its LIM
region. Arginine methyltransferase-5 (Prmt5), a
protein in the complex, is recruited to Snai l through
an interaction with Ajuba. This ternary complex
functions to repress E-cadherin, a Snail target gene.
In addition, Ajuba contains functional nuclear-receptor
interacting motifs and selectively interacts with
retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and rexinoid receptor
(RXRs) to negatively regulate retinoic acid signaling.
Wtip, the Wt1-interacting protein, was originally
identified as an interaction partner of the Wilms
tumour protein 1 (WT1). Wtip is involved in kidney and
neural crest development. Wtip interacts with the
receptor tyrosine kinase Ror2 and inhibits canonical
Wnt signaling. LIMD1 was reported to inhibit cell
growth and metastases. The inhibition may be mediated
through an interaction with the protein
barrier-to-autointegration (BAF), a component of
SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling protein; or through the
interaction with retinoblastoma protein (pRB),
resulting in inhibition of E2F-mediated transcription,
and expression of the majority of genes with E2F1-
responsive elements. Recently, Limd1 was shown to
interact with the p62/sequestosome protein and
influence IL-1 and RANKL signaling by facilitating the
assembly of a p62/TRAF6/a-PKC multi-protein complex.
The Limd1-p62 interaction affects both NF-kappaB and
AP-1 activity in epithelial cells and osteoclasts.
Moreover, LIMD1 functions as tumor repressor to block
lung tumor cell line in vitro and in vivo. Recent
studies revealed that LIM proteins Wtip, LIMD1 and
Ajuba interact with components of RNA induced silencing
complexes (RISC) as well as eIF4E and the mRNA m7GTP
cap-protein complex and are required for
microRNA-mediated gene silencing. As in other LIM
domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino acids in
size and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs.
The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues,
mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately

patterning of the cortical hem and the telencephalon of
the developing brain, and a lack of development in
olfactory structures. Lhx9 is expressed in several
regions of the developing mouse brain , the spinal
cord, the pancreas, in limb mesenchyme, and in the
urogenital region. Lhx9 plays critical roles in gonad
development. Homozygous mice lacking functional Lhx9
alleles exhibit numerous urogenital defects, such as
gonadal agenesis, infertility, and undetectable levels
of testosterone and estradiol coupled with high FSH
levels. Lhx9 null mice are phenotypically female, even

Kinase 1): LIMK1 belongs to the LIMK protein family,
which comprises LIMK1 and LIMK2. LIMK contains two LIM
domains, a PDZ domain, and a kinase domain. LIMK is
involved in the regulation of actin polymerization and
microtubule disassembly. LIMK influences architecture
of the actin cytoskeleton by regulating the activity of
the cofilin family proteins cofilin1, cofilin2, and
destrin. The mechanism of the activation is to
phosphorylates cofilin on serine 3 and inactivates its
actin-severing activity, and altering the rate of actin
depolymerization. LIMKs can function in both cytoplasm
and nucleus. Both LIMK1 and LIMK2 can act in the
nucleus to suppress Rac/Cdc42-dependent cyclin D1
expression. LIMK1 is expressed in all tissues and is
localized to focal adhesions in the cell. LIMK1 can
form homodimers upon binding of HSP90 and is activated
by Rho effector Rho kinase and MAPKAPK2. LIMK1 is
important for normal central nervous system
development, and its deletion has been implicated in

Protein Lost in Neoplasm is a cytoskeleton-associated
tumor suppressor whose expression inversely correlates

mortality. Eplin interacts and stabilizes F-actin
filaments and stress fibers, which correlates with its
ability to suppress anchorage independent growth. In
epithelial cells, Eplin is required for formation of

regulated in cancer cells. Xirp2 contains a LIM domain
and Xin re peats for binding to and stabilising
F-actin. Xirp2 is expressed in muscles and is
significantly induced in the heart in response to
systemic administration of angiotensin II. Xirp2 is an
important effector of the Ang II signaling pathway in

>gnl|CDD|188782 cd09396, LIM_DA1, The Lim domain of DA1. The Lim domain of DA1:
DA1 contains one copy of LIM domain and a domain of
unknown function. DA1 is predicted as an ubiquitin
receptor, which sets final seed and organ size by
restricting the period of cell proliferation. The LIM
domain is 50-60 amino acids in size and shares two
characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers
contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and
histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms.
LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to
support the assembly of multimeric protein.

>gnl|CDD|233649 TIGR01945, rnfC, electron transport complex, RnfABCDGE type, C
subunit. The six subunit complex RnfABCDGE in
Rhodobacter capsulatus encodes an apparent NADH
oxidoreductase responsible for electron transport to
nitrogenase, necessary for nitrogen fixation. A closely
related complex in E. coli, RsxABCDGE (Reducer of SoxR),
reduces the 2Fe-2S-containing superoxide sensor SoxR,
active as a transcription factor when oxidized. This
family of putative NADH oxidoreductase complexes exists
in many of the same species as the related NQR, a
Na(+)-translocating NADH-quinone reductase, but is
distinct. This model describes the C subunit [Energy
metabolism, Electron transport].

>gnl|CDD|188749 cd09363, LIM3_Enigma_like, The third LIM domain of Enigma-like
family. The third LIM domain of Enigma-like family: The
Enigma LIM domain family is comprised of three members:
Enigma, ENH, and Cypher (mouse)/ZASP (human). These
subfamily members contain a single PDZ domain at the
N-terminus and three LIM domains at the C-terminus.
Enigma was initially characterized in humans and is
expressed in multiple tissues, such as skeletal muscle,
heart, bone, and brain. The third LIM domain
specifically interacts with the insulin receptor and the
second LIM domain interacts with the receptor tyrosine
kinase Ret and the adaptor protein APS. Thus Enigma is
implicated in signal transduction processes, such as
mitogenic activity, insulin related actin organization,
and glucose metabolism. The second member, ENH protein,
was first identified in rat brain. It has been shown
that ENH interacts with protein kinase D1 (PKD1) via its
LIM domains and forms a complex with PKD1 and the
alpha1C subunit of cardiac L-type voltage-gated calcium
channel in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. The N-terminal
PDZ domain interacts with alpha-actinin at the Z-line.
ZASP/Cypher is required for maintenance of Z-line
structure during muscle contraction, but not required
for Z-line assembly. In heart, Cypher/ZASP plays a
structural role through its interaction with
cytoskeletal Z-line proteins. In addition, there is
increasing evidence that Cypher/ZASP also performs
signaling functions. Studies reveal that Cypher/ZASP
interacts with and directs PKC to the Z-line, where PKC
phosphorylates downstream signaling targets. LIM domains
are 50-60 amino acids in size and share two
characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers
contain eight conserved residues, mostly cysteines and
histidines, which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms.
LIM domains function as adaptors or scaffolds to support
the assembly of multimeric protein complexes.

>gnl|CDD|188715 cd09329, LIM3_abLIM, The third LIM domain of actin binding LIM
(abLIM) proteins. The third LIM domain of actin
binding LIM (abLIM) proteins: Three homologous members
of the abLIM protein family have been identified;
abLIM-1, abLIM-2 and abLIM-3. The N-terminal of abLIM
consists of four tandem repeats of LIM domains and the
C-terminal of acting binding LIM protein is a villin
headpiece domain, which has strong actin binding
activity. The abLIM-1, which is expressed in retina,
brain, and muscle tissue, has been indicated to
function as a tumor suppressor. AbLIM-2 and -3, mainly
expressed in muscle and neuronal tissue, bind to
F-actin strongly. They may serve as a scaffold for
signaling modules of the actin cytoskeleton and thereby
modulate transcription. It has shown that LIM domains
of abLIMs interact with STARS (striated muscle
activator of Rho signaling), which directly binds actin
and stimulates serum-response factor (SRF)-dependent
transcription. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in
size and share two characteristic highly conserved zinc
finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight
conserved residues, mostly cysteines and histidines,
which coordinately bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains
function as adaptors or scaffolds to support the
assembly of multimeric protein complexes.
