>gnl|CDD|193602 cd09827, PET_Prickle, The PET domain of Prickle. The PET domain
of Prickle: Prickle contains an N-terminal PET domain
and three C-terminal LIM domains. Prickle has been
implicated in regulation of cell movement in the planar
cell polarity (PCP) pathway which requires the
conserved Frizzled/Dishevelled (Dsh); Prickle interacts
with Dishevelled, thereby modulating the activity of
Frizzled/Dishevelled and the PCP signaling. Two forms
of Prickle have been identified, namely Prickle 1 and
Prickle 2. These are differentially expressed; Prickle
1 is found in fetal heart and hematological
malignancies, while Prickle 2 is expressed in fetal
brain, adult cartilage, pancreatic islet, and some
types of timorous cells. The PET domain is a
protein-protein interaction domain, usually found in
conjunction with the LIM domain, which is also involved
in protein-protein interactions. The PET containing
proteins serve as adaptors or scaffolds to support the
assembly of multimeric protein complexes.

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

>gnl|CDD|193601 cd09027, PET, PET ((Prickle Espinas Testin) domain is involved in
protein-protein interactions. PET domain is involved
in protein-protein interactions and is usually found in
conjunction with LIM domain, which is also a
protein-protein interaction domain. The PET containing
proteins serve as adaptors or scaffolds to support the
assembly of multimeric protein complexes. The PET
domain has been found at the N-terminal of four known
groups of proteins: prickle, testin, LIMPETin/LIM-9 and
overexpressed breast tumor protein (OEBT). Prickle has
been implicated in regulation of cell movement through
its association with the Dishevelled (Dsh) protein in
the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway. Testin is a
cytoskeleton associated focal adhesion protein that
localizes along actin stress fibers, at cell contact
areas, and at focal adhesion plaques. It interacts with
a variety of cytoskeletal proteins, including zyxin,
mena, VASP, talin, and actin, and is involved in cell
motility and adhesion events. Knockout mice experiments
reveal tumor repressor function of Testin.
LIMPETin/LIM-9 contains an N-terminal PET domain and 6
LIM domains at the C-terminal. In Schistosoma mansoni,
where LIMPETin was first identified, it is down
regulated in sexually mature adult females compared to
sexually immature adult females and adult males. Its
differential expression indicates that it is a
transcription regulator. In C. elegans, LIM-9 may play
a role in regulating the assembly and maintenance of
the muscle A-band by forming a protein complex with
SCPL-1 and UNC-89 and other proteins. OEBT displays a
PET domain with two LIM domains, and is predicted to be
localized in the nucleus with a possible role in cancer
differentiation.

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.

Enigma LIM domain family is comprised of three members:
Enigma, ENH, and Cypher (mouse)/ZASP (human). These

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,

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

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

The fifth LIM domain of protein LIMPETin: LIMPETin
contains 6 LIM domains at the C-terminal and an
N-terminal PET domain. Four of the six LIM domains are
highly homologous to the four and half LIM domain
protein family and two of them show sequence similarity
to the LIM domains of the testin family. Thus, LIMPETin
may be the recombinant product of genes coding testin
and FHL proteins. In Schistosoma mansoni, where
LIMPETin was first identified, LIMPETin is down
regulated in sexually mature adult Schistosoma females
compared to sexually immature adult females and adult
male. Its differential expression indicates that it is a
transcription regulator. 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

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

only protein 4): LMO4 is a nuclear protein that plays
important roles in transcriptional regulation and

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,

progression by allowing the development of Era-negative
phenotypes. All LIM domains are 50-60 amino acids in

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 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.

(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. The
two zinc fingers contain eight conserved residues,
mostly cysteines and histidines, which coordinately bond

family. The second 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

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

N-terminal LIM domains and a C-terminal DNA binding
homeodomain. Isl1 and Isl2 are the two conserved members

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

FHL3, FHL5 and LIMPETin. The first four members are
composed of four complete LIM domains arranged in tandem

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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