PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • an N-terminal unfolded region (AA 1–361) with minimal sequence similarity to the other smoothelin proteins
  • a actin-binding domain
  • two EF-hand domains
  • four spectrin repeats
  • a C-terminal, type-2 calponin homology (CH) domain (AA 361–459) with a calmodulin (CaM)-binding IQ-motif, having similarity within a tropomyosin-binding domain (TBD) of smoothelin necessary for the localization of the protein to actin-containing filaments
  • conjugated PhosphoP
    mono polymer homomer , dimer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine calponin homology-associated smooth muscle protein
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • smoothelin protein family
  • CATEGORY motor/contractile
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microfilament
    text intracellular localization to filamentous structures was dependent on the CH domain
    basic FUNCTION
  • eliciting Ca2+ desensitization in smooth muscle
  • playing a roles in cGMP/cAMP-mediated adaptations to exercise through mechanisms involving direct modulation of contractile activity
  • able to modulate the contractile activity of both smooth and skeletal muscle
  • having a unique position to influence thin-filament structure as well as Ca2+-regulated contraction
  • plays a role in promoting relaxation as well as adaptive responses to exercise, pregnancy and sexual development in smooth and skeletal muscle
  • possible restrictive control of its expression in non-muscle cells
  • plays a major role in pregnancy to promote adaptive responses in USM (uterine smooth muscle) and this process is specifically mediated through interactions of SMTNL1 with PGR
  • key player in USM plasticity mediated through the sex-related hormones
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    conserved pathway in which sexual development and pregnancy mediate smooth and striated muscle adaptations through SMTNL1 and PPP1R12A
    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • can bind to tropomyosin, and the CH domain was important for the interaction
  • PP1R12A is target gene of SMTNL1 in smooth and striated muscles
  • directly and specifically binds PGR and suppresses its transcriptional activity
