ZYXIN

Zyxin is LIM domain protein of the zyxin/ajuba family, encode by the gene ZYX [1], that codes for a protein of 84 kDa that contains 3 LIM zinc-binding domains [1].

Function and structure

Zyxin is a zinc-binding phosphoprotein that concentrates at focal adhesions and along the actin cytoskeleton. Focal adhesions are actin-rich structures that enable cells to adhere to the extracellular matrix and at which protein complexes involved in signal transduction assemble. [2]. It is postulate, that Zyxin may be a component of a signal transduction pathway that mediates adhesion-stimulated changes in gene expression by similarity [3]. Zyxin has an N-terminal proline-rich domain and three LIM domains in its C-terminal half. The proline-rich domain may interact with SH3 domains of proteins involved in signal transduction pathways while the LIM domains are likely involved in protein-protein binding. Zyxin may function as a messenger in the signal transduction pathway that mediates adhesion-stimulated changes in gene expression and may modulate the cytoskeletal organization of actin bundles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same isoform [4].

Interactions

Performing yeast two-hybrid analysis system, Yu and Luo found that myopodin interacts with zyxin both in vitro and in vivo and that this interaction leads to slower migration of prostate cancer cells and reduced invasiveness (Yu YP, Luo JH, 2006). Zyxin interacts with the E6 Protein from Human Papillomavirus Type 6 and this interaction results in its nuclear translocation [5]. Zyxin has been shown also to interact with ENAH [6], [7], LASP1 [8], LATS1 [9], Actinin, alpha 1 [10], [11] and Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein [12].
