>gnl|CDD|188757 cd09371, LIM1_Lmx1b, The first LIM domain of Lmx1b. The first
LIM domain of Lmx1b: Lmx1b belongs 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.
In 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
eye, Lmx1b regulates anterior segment (cornea, iris,
ciliary body, trabecular meshwork, and lens)
development. 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.

>gnl|CDD|188753 cd09367, LIM1_Lhx1_Lhx5, The first LIM domain of Lhx1 (also known
as Lim1) and Lhx5. The first LIM domain of Lhx1 (also
known as Lim1) and Lhx5. Lhx1 and Lhx5 are closely
related members 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. Lhx1 is required
for regulating 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 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.

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

>gnl|CDD|188711 cd08368, LIM, LIM is a small protein-protein interaction domain,
containing two zinc fingers. LIM domains are
identified in a diverse group of proteins with wide
variety of biological functions, including gene
expression regulation, cell fate determination,
cytoskeleton organization, tumor formation and
development. LIM domains function as adaptors or
scaffolds to support the assembly of multimeric protein
complexes. They perform their functions through
interactions with other protein partners. 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. The consensus sequence of LIM

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.
Mouse Lmx1a is expressed in multiple tissues, including
the roof plate of the neural tube, the developing
brain, the otic vesicles, the notochord, and the
pancreas. Human Lmx1a can be found in pancreas,
skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, developing brain,
mammary glands, and pituitary. The functions of Lmx1a
in the developing nervous system were revealed by
studies of mutant mouse. 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, Bmp 6, 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. Within
pancreatic cells, the Lmx1a protein interacts
synergistically with the bHLH transcription factor E47
to activate the insulin gene enhancer/promoter. 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

>gnl|CDD|188755 cd09369, LIM1_Lhx2_Lhx9, The first LIM domain of Lhx2 and Lhx9
family. The first 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 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

protein family. The first LIM domain of Isl: Isl is a
member of LHX protein family, which features two tandem
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
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. 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.
The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues,
mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately

>gnl|CDD|188850 cd09466, LIM1_Lhx3a, The first LIM domain of Lhx3a. The first
LIM domain of Lhx3a: Lhx3a 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.
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
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.

family. The first 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,

>gnl|CDD|188772 cd09386, LIM1_LMO4, The first LIM domain of LMO4 (LIM domain only
protein 4). The first 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

Kinase 1). The first LIM domain of LIMK1 (LIM domain
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
the development of the human genetic disorder Williams
syndrome. Moreover, LIMK1 up-regulates the promoter
activity of urokinase type plasminogen activator and
induces its mRNA and protein expression in breast
cancer cells. The LIM domains have been shown to play
an important role in regulating kinase activity and
likely also contribute to LIMK function by acting as
sites of protein-to-protein interactions. All LIM

The first LIM domain of Lhx7 and Lhx8: Lhx7 and Lhx8
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. Studies using
mutant mice have revealed roles for Lhx7 and Lhx8 in
the development of cholinergic neurons in the
telencephalon and in basal forebrain development. Mice
lacking alleles of the LIM-homeobox gene Lhx7 or Lhx8
display dramatically reduced number of forebrain
cholinergic neurons. In addition, Lhx7 mutation affects
male and female mice differently, with females
appearing more affected than males. As in other LIM

development. Lhx2 gene knockout mice exhibit impaired
patterning of the cortical hem and the telencephalon of

Lhx9 is highly homologous to Lhx2. It 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 have reduced levels of the
Sf1 nuclear receptor that is required for

(LIM domain only protein 1 and 3). The first 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

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

like protein family. The first LIM domain of the
paxillin like protein family: This family consists of
paxillin, leupaxin, Hic-5 (ARA55), and other related
proteins. There are four LIM domains in the C-terminal
of the proteins and leucine-rich LD-motifs in the
N-terminal region. Members of this family are adaptor
proteins to recruit key components of
signal-transduction machinery to specific sub-cellular
locations. Paxillin is found at the interface between
the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton.
Paxillin serves as a platform for the recruitment of
numerous regulatory and structural proteins that
together control the dynamic changes in cell adhesion,
cytoskeletal reorganization and gene expression that
are necessary for cell migration and survival. Leupaxin
is a cytoskeleton adaptor protein, which is
preferentially expressed in hematopoietic cells. It
associates with focal adhesion kinases PYK2 and
pp125FAK and identified to be a component of the
osteoclast pososomal signaling complex. Hic-5 controls
cell proliferation, migration and senescence by
functioning as coactivator for steroid receptors such
as androgen receptor, glucocorticoid receptor and
progesterone receptor. LIM domains are 50-60 amino
acids in size and share two characteristic zinc finger
motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved

Mouse Lmx1a is expressed in multiple tissues, including
the roof plate of the neural tube, the developing

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,

(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.

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

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

family. The first 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

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
the development of the human genetic disorder Williams
syndrome. Moreover, LIMK1 up-regulates the promoter
activity of urokinase type plasminogen activator and
induces its mRNA and protein expression in breast
cancer cells. The LIM domains have been shown to play
an important role in regulating kinase activity and

and a half LIM domains protein (FHL): LIM-only protein
family consists of five members, designated FHL1, FHL2,
FHL3, FHL5 and LIMPETin. The first four members are
composed of four complete LIM domains arranged in
tandem and an N-terminal single zinc finger domain with
a consensus sequence equivalent to the C-terminal half
of a LIM domain. LIMPETin is an exception, containing
six LIM domains. FHL1, 2 and 3 are predominantly
expressed in muscle tissues, and FHL5 is highly
expressed in male germ cells. FHL proteins exert their
roles as transcription co-activators or co-repressors
through a wide array of interaction partners. For
example, FHL1 binds to Myosin-binding protein C,
regulating myosin filament formation and sarcomere
assembly. FHL2 has shown to interact with more than 50
different proteins, including receptors, structural
proteins, transcription factors and cofactors, signal
transducers, splicing factors, DNA replication and
repair enzymes, and metabolic enzymes. FHL3 interacts
with many transcription factors, such as CREB,
BKLF/KLF3, CtBP2, MyoD, and MZF_1. FHL5 is a
tissue-specific coactivator of CREB/CREM family
transcription factors. 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

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

family. The second 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,

(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

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

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.

(TLP). The LIM domain of thymus LIM protein (TLP) like
proteins: This family includes the LIM domains of TLP
and CRIP (Cysteine-Rich Intestinal Protein). TLP is the
distant member of the CRP family of proteins. TLP has
two isomers (TLP-A and TLP-B) and sharing approximately
30% with each of the three other CRPs. Like CRP1, CRP2
and CRP3/MLP, TLP has two LIM domains, connected by a
flexible linker region. Unlike the CRPs, TLP lacks the
nuclear targeting signal (K/R-K/R-Y-G-P-K) and is
localized solely in the cytoplasm. TLP is specifically
expressed in the thymus in a subset of cortical
epithelial cells. TLP has a role in development of
normal thymus and in controlling the development and
differentiation of thymic epithelial cells. CRIP is a
short LIM protein with only one LIM domain. CRIP gene
is developmentally regulated and can be induced by
glucocorticoid hormones during the first three
postnatal weeks. The domain shows close sequence
homology to LIM domain of thymus LIM protein. However,
unlike the TLP proteins which have two LIM domains, the
members of this family have only one LIM domain. LIM
domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and share two
characteristic zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers

the N-terminal. LPP initially identified as the most
frequent translocation partner of HMGA2 (High Mobility
Group A2) in a subgroup of benign tumors of adipose
tissue (lipomas). It was also shown to be rearranged in
a number of other soft tissues, as well as in a case of
acute monoblastic leukemia. In addition to its

muscle restricted LIM protein that plays an important
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

The LIM domain of LIM and SH3 Protein (LASP): LASP
family contains two highly homologous members, LASP-1
and LASP-2. LASP contains a LIM motif at its amino
terminus, a src homology 3 (SH3) domains at its
C-terminal part, and a nebulin-like region in the
middle. LASP-1 and -2 are highly conserved in their
LIM, nebulin-like, and SH3 domains ,but differ
significantly at their linker regions. Both proteins
are ubiquitously expressed and involved in cytoskeletal
architecture, especially in the organization of focal
adhesions. LASP-1 and LASP-2, are important during
early embryo- and fetogenesis and are highly expressed
in the central nervous system of the adult. However,
only LASP-1 seems to participate significantly in
neuronal differentiation and plays an important
functional role in migration and proliferation of
certain cancer cells while the role of LASP-2 is more
structural. The expression of LASP-1 in breast tumors
is increased significantly. As in other LIM domains,

Testin interacts with a variety of cytoskeletal
proteins, including zyxin, mena, VASP, talin, and actin
and it is involved in cell motility and adhesion
events. Prickles have been implicated in roles of
regulating tissue polarity or planar cell polarity
(PCP). Dyxin involves in lung and heart development by
