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

>gnl|CDD|188774 cd09388, LIM1_LMO1_LMO3, The first LIM domain of LMO1 and LMO3 (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 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.

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

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

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

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

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. 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

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

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

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

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

homeodomain. Isl1 and Isl2 are the two conserved members
of this family. Proteins in this group are found in the

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

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

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

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

LPP initially identified as the most frequent

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

of the proteins and leucine-rich LD-motifs in the

the plasma membrane and the actin cytoskeleton. Paxillin
serves as a platform for the recruitment of numerous

the dynamic changes in cell adhesion, cytoskeletal
reorganization and gene expression that are necessary

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

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

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

the regulation of actin polymerization and microtubule
disassembly. LIMK influences architecture of the actin
cytoskeleton by regulating the activity of the cofilin

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

expression. However, LIMK1 and LIMk2 have different
cellular locations. While LIMK1 localizes mainly at
focal adhesions, LIMK2 is found in cytoplasmic punctae,

preferred partner (LPP): LPP is a member of the zyxin
LIM protein family 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
harbors binding sites for alpha-actinin and vasodilator-

capacity. As in other LIM domains, this domain family is

(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

size and shares two characteristic zinc finger motifs.

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

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

Kinase 1). The second 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
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

>gnl|CDD|188822 cd09438, LIM3_Ajuba_like, The third LIM domain of Ajuba-like
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 adaptors or scaffolds to support the
assembly of multimeric protein.

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 int eracts with many
