Four and a half LIM protein 1 (FHL1/SLIM1) is highly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle, however, the function of FHL1 remains unknown. Yeast two-hybrid screening identified slow type skeletal myosin-binding protein C as an FHL1 binding partner. Myosin binding protein C is the major myosin-associated protein in striated muscle that enhances the lateral association and stabilization of myosin thick filaments and regulates actomyosin interactions. The interaction between FHL1 and myosin binding protein C was confirmed using co-immunoprecipitation of recombinant and endogenous proteins. Recombinant FHL2 and FHL3 also bound myosin binding protein C. FHL1 impaired co-sedimentation of myosin binding protein C with reconstituted myosin filaments, suggesting FHL1 may compete with myosin for binding to myosin binding protein C. In intact skeletal muscle and isolated myofibrils FHL1 localized to the I-band, M-line and sarcolemma, co-localizing with myosin binding protein C at the sarcolemma in intact skeletal muscle. Furthermore, in isolated myofibrils FHL1 staining at the M-line appeared to extend partially into the C-zone of the A-band, where it co-localized with myosin binding protein C. Overexpression of FHL1 in differentiating C2C12 cells induced myosac formation, associated with impaired Z-line and myosin thick filament assembly. This phenotype was rescued by co-expression of myosin binding protein C. FHL1 knockdown using RNAi resulted in impaired myosin thick filament formation associated with reduced incorporation of myosin binding protein C into the sarcomere. This study identifies FHL1 as a novel regulator of myosin binding protein C activity and indicates a role for FHL1 in sarcomere assembly.
