  • specifically localized in the cuticular plate and the cell junction
  • basic FUNCTION
  • regulating emerin gene expression
  • forming a specific protein-binding interface for protein-protein interactions
  • MLLT4- and ACTN1-binding protein that connects the PVRL1-MLLT4 and E-cadherin-catenin systems through alpha-actinin
  • regulating development
  • possible essential functions for LMO7 during vertebrate heart development
  • required for proper myoblast differentiation
  • cell-specific regulator of myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTFs) and plays an important role in breast cancer cell migration
  • colocalizes with F-actin and reduces the G-actin/F-actin ratio via a Rho-independent mechanism
  • LMO7 is dispensable for skeletal muscle and cardiac physiology and pathophysiology
  • LMO7 via its LIM domain acts to control mitosis progression and exerts an effect on the SAC
  • LMO7 is induced by TGFB1 and serves to limit vascular fibrotic responses through negative feedback regulation of the TGFB1 pathway
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription

    protein
  • binding emerin protein, and EDMD-relevant genes
  • required for emerin gene transcription
  • feedback-regulated by binding to emerin
  • bound alpha-actinin, an actin filament-bundling protein, which bound to alpha-catenin
  • EMD binds to and inhibits the activity of LMO7, a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes implicated in EMD (functional interaction between emerin and LMO7 is crucial for temporally regulating the expression of key myogenic differentiation genes)
  • interacted with the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) protein MAD1L1
  • LMO7 and LIMCH1 were identified as interaction partners to LRIG3
  • LMO7 and LIMCH1 physically interact with LRIG proteins

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • deletion of Uchl3 and Lmo7 on mouse chromosome 14 causes defects in viability, postnatal growth and degeneration of muscle and retina
  • Lmo7-null mice had growth retardation, decreased fiber size, and impaired skeletal muscle and cardiac function, and loss of Lmo7 in mice causes myopathic phenotypes similar to those seen in other EDMD mouse models
