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 as for instance: the members FATZ-1 and FATZ-3 are highly expressed in skeletal muscle fast twitch fibres while FATZ-2 is predominantly expressed in cardiac muscle slow-twitch fibres.[3][4] Nevertheless, the three isoforms seems to have redundant function since all the three are sharing the same binding partners. Due to its Z-disc localization and multiple binding partners, FATZ proteins can be considered as an adaptor molecule that support and maintains the Z-disc architecture. But on the other hand, FATZ-2 has been shown to be a member of a signalling pathway controlling the cell response to pressure overload[5]. Therefore, the FATZ protein family could be seen as one example of Z-disc proteins where signalling and structural support converge.

Sequence Annotation

FATZ-1 annotated regions accordingly to secondary elements prediction
There is not prediction of canonical domains in the tertiary structure of FATZ proteins, but for all of them there is a glycine rich region in the middle of the sequence.Q9NP98Q9NPC6Q8TDC0

Based on the prediction of secondary elements, it has been identified three regions on the sequence of FATZ-1: N-terminal CD1 (1-75), glycine rich region (GRR, 75-171) and C-terminal CD2 (172-299),[6]; although there is no tridimensional model for the structure of any of the isoforms.


Function and Interactions

Image:FATZbinding3.jpg
Mapping of binding regions on FATZ proteins
Different interacting partners of FATZ proteins have been characterized by cellular and biochemical approaches. Screenings of yeast two-hybrid assays allowed identifying interactions with other Z-disc proteins as α-actinin-2, filamin-C, myotilin, telethonin, calcineurin and ZASP/Cypher( in general Enigma family protein).[7][8][9][10][11][12].

At the moment it is though that interaction with α-actinin-2, filamin-C, myotilin, telethonin and ZASP contributes to maintain the Z-disc scaffold. Although is worth mentioning that it has been suggested to play some role in myofibril formation, since FATZ-1 has been seen in premyofibrils as α-actinin-2, filamin-C, myotilin, while titin and telethonin has been seen in more advanced stages.[13] Most of the mapping of the binding regions where done by screening dna libraries with the yeast two-hybrid assays and furthermore confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation or pull down assays. Many interacting partners have their binding sites in the C-terminal of FATZs while others in the N-terminal region. In some cases as for a-actinin-2 and filamin-C, there is competitively binding, even though the physiological relevance of such competition is not yet understood[14]. Moreover, FATZ-2 has been described as a negative modulator of the phosphatase activity of calcineurin. [15] Therefore by preventing dephosphorylation activity of calcineurin, this interaction involves FATZ protein family in a signalling pathway controlling the cell response to pressure overload.

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, thereby inducing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM). [16] Moreover, the study of families this disease has suggested that mutations S48P and I246 in FATZ-2 where associated with familial HCM. [17]Nevertheless, another study has also shown that mutations in FATZ-2 is rare causes of familial HCM. [18]. Given that, whether FATZ-2 is a marker of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or not is still under discussion and more studies shall be done to clearly define its physiological role in cardiomyocyte.
