>gnl|CDD|188785 cd09401, LIM_TLP_like, The LIM domains of thymus LIM protein
(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
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.

(LASP)-like proteins. The LIM domain of LIM and SH3
Protein (LASP) like proteins: This family contains two
types of LIM containing proteins; LASP and N-RAP. 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. N-RAP is a muscle-specific
protein concentrated at myotendinous junctions in
skeletal muscle and intercalated disks in cardiac
muscle. LIM domain is found at the N-terminus of N-RAP
and the C-terminal of N-RAP contains a region with
multiple of nebulin repeats. N-RAP functions as a
scaffolding protein that organizes alpha-actinin and
actin into symmetrical I-Z-I structures in developing
myofibrils. Nebulin repeat is known as actin binding
domain. The N-RAP is hypothesized to form antiparallel
dimerization via its LIM domain. As in other LIM

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,

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

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,
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

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

Kinase 2). The first LIM domain of LIMK2 (LIM domain
Kinase 2): LIMK2 is a member of 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, altering the
rate of actin depolymerization. LIMK activity is
activated by phosphorylation of a threonine residue
within the activation loop of the kinase by
p21-activated kinases 1 and 4 and by Rho kinase. 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. LIMK2 is
expressed in all tissues. While LIMK1 localizes mainly
at focal adhesions, LIMK2 is found in cytoplasmic
punctae, suggesting that they may have different
cellular functions. The activity of LIM kinase 2 to
regulate cofilin phosphorylation is inhibited by the
direct binding of Par-3. LIMK2 activation promotes cell
cycle progression. The phenotype of Limk2 knockout mice
shows a defect in spermatogenesis. 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 domains are 50-60 amino acids in

of Epithelial Protein Lost in Neoplasm (Eplin) like
proteins: This family contains Epithelial Protein Lost
in Neoplasm in Neoplasm (Eplin), xin actin-binding
repeat-containing protein 2 (XIRP2) and a group of
protein with unknown function. The members of this
family all contain a single LIM domain. Epithelial
Protein Lost in Neoplasm is a cytoskeleton-associated
tumor suppressor whose expression inversely correlates
with cell growth, motility, invasion and cancer
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
the F-actin adhesion belt by binding to the
E-cadherin-catenin complex through alpha-catenin. Eplin
is expressed in two isoforms, a longer Eplin-beta and a
shorter Eplin-alpha. Eplin-alpha mRNA is detected in
various tissues and cell lines, but is absent or down
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
the heart. The expression of Xirp2 is activated by
myocyte enhancer factor (MEF)2A, whose transcriptional
activity is stimulated by angiotersin II. Thus, Xirp2
plays important pathological roles in the angiotensin
II induced hypertension. As in other LIM domains, this

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

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

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

fourth LIM domain of Paxillin: Paxillin is an adaptor
protein, which recruits key components of the
signal-transduction machinery to specific sub-cellular
locations to respond to environmental changes rapidly.
The C-terminal region of paxillin contains four LIM
domains which target paxillin to focal adhesions,
presumably through a direct association with the
cytoplasmic tail of beta-integrin. The N-terminal of
paxillin is leucine-rich LD-motifs. Paxillin is found
at the interface between the plasma membrane and the
actin cytoskeleton. The binding partners of paxillin
are diverse and include protein tyrosine kinases, such
as Src and FAK, structural proteins, such as vinculin
and actopaxin, and regulators of actin organization.
Paxillin recruits these proteins to their function
sites to control the dynamic changes in cell adhesion,
cytoskeletal reorganization and gene expression. 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.

establishment requires the conserved
Frizzled/Dishevelled PCP pathway. Prickle interacts
with Dishevelled, thereby modulating
Frizzled/Dishevelled activity and PCP signaling. Four

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

receptor-interacting protein 6 (TRIP6). The third LIM
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
domain family is 50-60 amino acids in size and shares

proteins. The third 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
bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function 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

development. In mice, the lhx4 gene is expressed in the

similarity to LHX3, particularly to isoforms Lhx3a. In

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

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
