-Actinin-mediated Actin Bundling


From the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Clayton 3800, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Four and a half LIM domain (FHL) proteins are members of the LIM protein
superfamily. Several FHL proteins function as co-activators of CREM/CREB
transcription factors and the androgen receptor. FHL3 is highly expressed in
skeletal muscle, but its function is unknown. FHL3 localized to the nucleus in
C2C12 myoblasts and, following integrin engagement, exited the nucleus and
localized to actin stress fibers and focal adhesions. In mature skeletal
muscle FHL3 was found at the Z-line. Actin was identified as a potential FHL3
binding partner in yeast two-hybrid screening of a skeletal muscle library.
FHL3 complexed with actin both in vitro and in vivo as shown
by glutathione S-transferase pull-down assays and
co-immunoprecipitation of recombinant and endogenous proteins. FHL3 promoted
cell spreading and when overexpressed in spread C2C12 cells disrupted actin
stress fibers. Increased FHL3 expression was detected in highly motile cells
migrating into an artificial wound, compared with non-motile cells. The
molecular mechanism by which FHL3 induced actin stress fiber disassembly was
demonstrated by low speed actin co-sedimentation assays and electron
microscopy. FHL3 inhibited
-actinin-mediated actin bundling. These
studies reveal FHL3 as a significant regulator of actin cytoskeletal dynamics
in skeletal myoblasts.
