    text
  • expressed in pseudopodia and in cytoplasm around the nucleus
  • colocalized with actin in the I-band
  • colocalizes with betaPS integrin in myotendinous junctions and with alpha-actinin in muscle Z lines(Jani 2007)
  • cytoskeletal protein localized in the sarcomeric Z-line (Zheng 2009)
  • localized predominantly at Z-lines together with sarcomeric alpha-actinin
  • basic FUNCTION
  • Z-disc associated protein,that may function as an adaptor in striated muscle to couple protein kinase C-mediated signaling, via its LIM domains, to the cytoskeleton (alpha-actinin-2) through its PDZ domain
  • has an important role in maintaining Z-disc stability in striated and cardiac muscle (Klaavuniemi 2006)
  • striated Z-line protein, which plays an important structural role in cardiac muscle in maintaining the integrity of sarcomeres under the stress of contraction force
  • important function in the assembly of integrin adhesion sites both in cell culture and in tissues (Jani 2007)
  • plays a pivotal role in maintaining adult cardiac structure and cardiac function through protein–protein interactions with other Z-line proteins (Zheng 2009)
  • having a pivotal role in the structure and functions of striated muscles (Zheng 2009)
  • plays an essential structural role in cardiac muscle
  • cytoskeletal protein that forms multiprotein complexes at sarcomeric Z-lines
  • not only plays a structural role for the sarcomeric integrity, but is also an important sarcomeric signaling scaffold in regulating the phosphorylation of channels or contractile proteins
  • LDB3 and PDLIM5 redundantly play an essential role in sustaining Z-line structure from the earliest stages of cardiac function, and are redundantly required to maintain normal embryonic heart function and embryonic viability

  • NADPH
  • protein
  • C terminus of alpha-actinin-2 (ACTN2)
  • flavoprotein P450 oxidoreductase (POR)
  • specific binding of its PDZ domain to the C-terminal region of both calsarcin-1 (MYOZ2) and myotilin (MYOT) within the Z-line
  • physically interacts with alpha-actinin (Jani 2007)
  • PGM1 bound to LDB3 at the domains encoded by exons 4 and 10, and LDB3 anchors PGM1 to Z-disc under conditions of stress
  • specifically interacted with PRKAR2A and calcineurin
  • interaction between LDB3 and CACNA1C that facilitated PRKA-mediated phosphorylation of the CACNA1C at Ser1928
  • binds to alpha-actinin and the calcium voltage channels (LTCC) via its PDZ domain
