Background InformationZyxin, is a cytosolic, focal adhesion protein belonging to the Ajuba family and containing 3 LIM zinc-binding domains. It associates with the actin cytoskeleton near the adhesion plaques and, during mitosis, with microtubules. Zyxin localizes to stress fibers, cell-cell junctions and colocalizes with vinculin, paxillin and VASP at focal adhesions but not at the tips of lamellipodia. Zyxin is involved in the regulation of actin dynamics and is a likely component of the signal transduction pathway mediating adhesion-stimulated changes in gene expression. Zyxin displays an actin nucleating activity that is dependent on its amino terminal proline-rich motifs and independent of Arp2/3 complex. Zyxin appears to function as an adaptor or docking protein to organize protein complexes important for regulated actin cytoskeleton dynamics.

Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryFocal adhesions are actin-rich structures that enable cells to adhere to the extracellular matrix and at which protein complexes involved in signal transduction assemble. Zyxin is a zinc-binding phosphoprotein that concentrates at focal adhesions and along the actin cytoskeleton. 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. [provided by RefSeq].

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Adhesion plaque protein. Binds alpha-actinin and the CRP protein. Important for targeting TES and ENA/VASP family members to focal adhesions and for the formation of actin-rich structures. May be a component of a signal transduction pathway that mediates adhesion-stimulated changes in gene expression By similarity.

SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Interacts with HPV type 6 protein E6. Does not interact significantly with E6 proteins from HPV types 11, 16, or 18. Interacts, via the Pro-rich regions, with the EVH1 domains of ENAH, EVL and VASP. Interacts with the first LIM domain of TES.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton. Nucleus. Cell junction › focal adhesion. Note: Associates with the actin cytoskeleton near the adhesion plaques. Enters the nucleus in the presence of HESX1.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the zyxin/ajuba family.

Contains 3 LIM zinc-binding domains.
Molecular Weight~84 kDa observed. A non-specific band may be observed at ~36 kDa.
The calculated molecular weight is 61 kDa. Zyxin is a phosphoprotein with an apparent molecular weight of 82–84 kDa (van der Gaag, E., et al. (2002). Journal of Investigative Dermatology. 118:246–254.). As a substrate of caspases, Zyxin can be cleaved as 30, 37, 48 and 70 kDa. (C-B Chan, C-B., et al. (2007). Cell Death and Differentiation. 14:1688–1699.)
