Introduction

Myotilin is a cytoskeletal protein with the size of 57 kDa, localized in sarcomeric Z-discs of both skeletal and cardiac muscle [1]. It consists of a unique serine-rich amino-terminus, two Ig-domains and a short carboxy-terminus with a PDZ-binding motif (UNIPROT Myotilin). Myotilin belongs to a small group of scaffolding proteins, together with palladin and myopapalladin, which regulate actin organisation [2] but was also found to interact with several other sarcomeric proteins like actin, α-actinin, filamin C [3][4] and FATZ-1/FATZ-2 [5]. Muscle disorders such as limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1A and myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) have been linked to point mutations in myotilin [6].


Pathology

The disorders typically manifest as proximal weakness of the extremities but may also include cardiomyopathy and peripheral neuropathy. Ultrastructural changes include Z-disk alterations and accumulation of dense filamentous myotilin. Single missense mutation, mostly in the N-terminal serine-rich part of the protein, causes the onset of both disorders. Thus, mutation has a dominant negative effect on functionality of myotilin [7] [8].
