>gnl|CDD|188799 cd09415, LIM1_Prickle, The first LIM domain of Prickle.  The
          first LIM domain of Prickle: Prickle contains three
          C-terminal LIM domains and a N-terminal PET domain.
          Prickles have been implicated in roles of regulating
          tissue polarity or planar cell polarity (PCP).  PCP
          establishment requires the conserved
          Frizzled/Dishevelled PCP pathway. Prickle interacts
          with Dishevelled, thereby modulating
          Frizzled/Dishevelled activity and PCP signaling. Four
          forms of prickles have been identified: prickle 1-4.
          The best characterized is prickle 1 and prickle 2 which
          are differentially expressed. While prickle 1 is
          expressed in fetal heart and hematological
          malignancies, prickle 2 is found in fetal brain, adult
          cartilage, pancreatic islet, and some types of timorous
          cells.  Mutations in prickle 1 have been linked to
          progressive myoclonus epilepsy. 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|188726 cd09340, LIM1_Testin_like, The first LIM domain of Testin-like
          family.  The first LIM domain of Testin_like family:
          This family includes testin, prickle, dyxin and
          LIMPETin. Structurally, testin and prickle proteins
          contain three LIM domains at C-terminal; LIMPETin has
          six LIM domains; and dyxin presents only two LIM
          domains. However, all members of the family contain a
          PET protein-protein interaction domain.  Testin is a
          cytoskeleton associated focal adhesion protein that
          localizes along actin stress fibers, at
          cell-cell-contact areas, and at focal adhesion plaques.
          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
          interaction with GATA6 and blocking GATA6 activated
          target genes. LIMPETin might be the recombinant product
          of genes coding testin and four and half LIM proteins
          and its function is not well understood. 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

>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

          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
          size and share two characteristic zinc finger motifs.
          The two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues,
          mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately

           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

           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

          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,

>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

          Kinase ): LIMK protein family is  comprised of two
          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
          depolymerisation. 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 likely also contribute
          to LIMK function by acting as sites of
          protein-to-protein interactions. All LIM domains are
          50-60 amino acids in size and share two characteristic
          zinc finger motifs. The two zinc fingers contain eight

          LIM domain of Lmx1a: Lmx1a 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.
          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

>gnl|CDD|188741 cd09355, LIM2_Ajuba_like, The second LIM domain of Ajuba-like
          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
          bond to two zinc atoms. LIM domains function as

          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

           ZASP was identified in human heart and skeletal muscle
           and Cypher is a mice ortholog of ZASP. ZASP/Cyppher
           contains three LIM domains at the C-terminus and a PDZ
           domain at N-terminus.  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

          (abLIM) proteins.  The first 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

          and stress fibers. CLP36 might be involved in not only
          the function of sarcomeres in muscle cells, but also in
          actin stress fiber-mediated cellular processes, such as
          cell shape, migration, polarit, and cytokinesis in

          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

           Prickles have been implicated in roles of regulating
           tissue polarity or planar cell polarity (PCP).  PCP
           establishment requires the conserved

          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

          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

          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

          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

          female mice lack the oviducts and uterus.  Lhx5 protein
          may play complementary or overlapping roles with Lhx1.

>gnl|CDD|188754 cd09368, LIM1_Lhx3_Lhx4, The first LIM domain of Lhx3 and Lhx4
          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,
          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.

          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.

           and contains three LIM zinc-binding domains at the
           C-terminal and proline-rich region at 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
           involvement in tumors, LPP was inedited as a smooth
           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
           stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP),Palladin, and Scrib.
           The  LIM domains are the main focal adhesion targeting
           elements and that the proline- rich region, which

>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.

           in humans as a protein containing three LIM domains at
           the C-terminus and a PDZ domain at N-terminus.  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

          family.  The first LIM domain of ZASP/Cypher family:
          ZASP was identified in human heart and skeletal muscle
          and Cypher is a mice ortholog of ZASP. ZASP/Cyppher
          contains three LIM domains at the C-terminus and a PDZ
          domain at N-terminus.  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

          to a short glycine-rich repeats (GRRs). The known CRP
          family members include CRP1, CRP2, and CRP3/MLP. CRP1,
          CRP2 and CRP3 share a conserved nuclear targeting

          these proteins function not only in the cytoplasm but
          also in the nucleus. CRPs control regulatory pathways

>gnl|CDD|188851 cd09467, LIM1_Lhx3b, The first LIM domain of Lhx3b.  The first
          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

          (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
          domains, this domain family is 50-60 amino acids in
          size and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs.

          third LIM domain of Leupaxin: Leupaxin is a
          cytoskeleton adaptor protein, which is preferentially
          expressed in hematopoietic cells. Leupaxin belongs to
          the paxillin focal adhesion protein family. Same as
          other members of the family, it has four leucine-rich
          LD-motifs in the N-terminus and four LIM domains in the
          C-terminus. It may function in cell type-specific
          signaling by associating with interaction partners
          PYK2, FAK, PEP and p95PKL.  When expressed in human
          leukocytic cells, leupaxin significantly suppressed
          integrin-mediated cell adhesion to fibronectin and the
          tyrosine phosphorylation of paxillin. These findings
          indicate that leupaxin may negatively regulate the
          functions of paxillin during integrin signaling. 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

          LIM domain of Lhx9: Lhx9 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.
          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
          gonadogenesis, and recent studies have shown that Lhx9
          is able to activate the Sf1/FtzF1 gene. 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

          receptor-interacting protein 6 (TRIP6).  The second 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

          the first LIM domain of Mlp84B is in this family.
          Mlp60A exhibits only one LIM domain linked to a
          glycin-rich region. Mlp84B and Mlp60A are muscle
          specific proteins and have been implicated in muscle
          differentiation. While Mlp84B transcripts are enriched
          at the terminal ends of muscle fibers, Mlp60A
          transcripts are found throughout the muscle fibers. 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.

          second LIM domain of Enigma: Enigma was initially
          characterized in humans as a protein containing three
          LIM domains at the C-terminus and a PDZ domain at
          N-terminus.  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. Enigma is expressed in multiple
          tissues, such as skeletal muscle, heart, bone and
          brain.  LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in size and

>gnl|CDD|188738 cd09352, LIM1_Ajuba_like, The first LIM domain of Ajuba-like
          proteins.  The first 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
          adaptors or scaffolds to support the assembly of
          multimeric protein.

          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

          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

          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

          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

          protein family.  The second 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 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 domains are 50-60 amino acids in

          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 likely also contribute

          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 depolymerisation. 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
          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.

           with the ubiquitous coactivator CREB-binding protein
           (CBP). However, the activation by FHL5 is independent of

           abundant in the heart, and in brain, liver and lung to a
           lesser extent. FHL2 participates in a wide range of
           cellular processes, such as transcriptional regulation,

           receptor-interacting protein 6 (TRIP6).  The first 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

          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

          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
