Introduction

The filamin-C α-actinin telethonin Z-disc binding protein (FATZ) is a protein family of three isoforms: FATZ-1, FATZ-2, FATZ-3, which are expressed in muscle cells.[1] This protein family, that is also known as Myozenin or Calsarcin, is mainly localized in the Z-disc, although recently it has been described that FATZ-2 appears in cardiac nuclei. [2] The expression of the three isoforms has been shown to be fibre type specific. For instance, FATZ-1 and FATZ-3 are exclusively expressed in skeletal muscle fast-twitch fibres while FATZ-2 is expressed in cardiac and slow-twitch fibres [3][4]. FATZ proteins have multiple binding partners in the Z-disc, which involve them in different functions like the Z-disc formation and maintenance or in signaling pathways like the calcineurin/NFAT [5]. Therefore, the FATZ protein family could be seen as one example of Z-disc proteins where signalling and structural support converge.

Sequence Annotation

The sequence annotation of FATZ-1 shows the sequence conservation profile among the three isoforms
The sequence annotation of FATZ-1 shows the sequence conservation profile among the three isoforms
The sequence annotation of FATZ-1 is related to the sequence conservation profile among the three isoforms, which share well conserved N-terminal and C-terminal regions. Therefore, the N-terminal of FATZ-1 was named conserved domain 1 (CD1, 1-75aa) and its C-terminal conserved domain 2 (CD2, 172-299aa). Both regions are connected by a stretch of amino acids with a 39.5% of glycine; consequently, this region was named the glycine rich region (GRR, 75-171aa)[6] Q9NP98. Although the N-terminal and C-terminal regions of the other two isoforms could be also named CD1 and CD2; no such sequence annotations exist in their UniProtKB entries Q9NPC6Q8TDC0.

Function and Interactions

Binding regions on FATZ proteins
Binding regions on FATZ proteins
The three isoforms of FATZ have a plethora of interacting partners which are additionally shared by all of them. As shown by the figure on the right, they interact with several Z-disc proteins. For instance: α-actinin-2, filamin-C, myotilin, telethonin, calcineurin and ZASP/Cypher (in general the Enigma protein family) [7][8][9][10][11][12]. In general, those interactions and their binding regions were found by yeast two-hybrid assays, co-immunoprecipitation, and pull down assays.

The interaction of FATZ-1 with α-actinin-2 was reported simultaneously by three different groups [13][14][15]. It was documented with the three isoforms of FATZ, which showed their binding regions within the CD2. Furthermore, the data suggested a binding interface on α-actinin-2 starting in the middle of the SR2, followed by the SR3 and the SR4. The studies of Stout and co-workers suggested that the complex formation between FATZ-1 and α-actinin-2 is one of the most important steps in the early stages of myofibril formation, when the Z-disc is called Z-body and is just beginning its assembling process. The FATZ-1::α-actinin-2 complex and also myotilin, which also interacts with both proteins, were one of the earliest seen in Z-bodies. In addition, their results showed that the interaction between FATZ-1 and α-actinin-2 was a required step to incorporate telethonin in the Z-disc, which would be mediated by a conformational change in FATZ-1 [16].

FATZ-1 has been suggested to perform other functions, like bridging filamin-C and α-actinin-2. However, it was reported in a competitive binding assay that α-actinin-2 displaces filamin-C form FATZ-1. Therefore, it is still an open question whether a ternary complex could exist and what its physiological role would be [17].

It was shown that FATZ-2, expressed exclusively in cardiomyocites, is a negative modulator of the phosphatase activity of calcineurin. Calcineurin is an important protein of the signaling pathway controlling the cell response to pressure overload and its phosphatase activity on members of the nuclear factor of activated T-cell (NFAT) family activates the translocation of the last ones from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Once NFATs reach their target genes in the nucleus, their expression is regulated and the cell proliferation program is activated [18].

Pathology

In experimental models, it has been shown that the absence of FATZ-2 led to up-regulation of calcineurin phosphatase activity and cellular proliferation; in consequence, inducing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM). [19] The study of families with this disease has suggested that mutations S48P and I246M in FATZ-2 where associated with familial HCM. [20]Nevertheless, another study has also shown that mutations in FATZ-2 are rare causes of familial HCM. [21]. Given that, whether FATZ-2 is a marker of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or not is still under debate and more studies shall be done to clearly define its role in this disease.
