Target data

Function

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).

Activity summary

Zyxin also known as ZYX is a mechanical regulator associated with cell adhesion and signaling. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 61 kDa and shows expression in various cell types including those in the heart liver and lungs. As a component of focal adhesions zyxin plays a role in cytoskeletal dynamics by interacting with actin filaments and facilitating the formation of stress fibers.

Biological function summary

The protein has important roles in cellular processes such as migration and morphology. Zyxin often forms part of a larger protein complex that includes VASP and α-actinin which contribute to cell scaffolding and structural integrity. It serves as an organizer for cytoskeletal proteins ensuring proper cell movement and adaptability to cellular stress. Its actin-binding capacity enables it to regulate structural changes necessary for cellular adaptation to environmental stimuli.

Pathways

This protein is essential in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton associated pathways and adherens junction signaling. Zyxin interacts with Ena/VASP proteins which are significant in actin filament elongation helping regulate dynamic changes in cell shape and motility. Its relationship with LIM domain-containing proteins positions zyxin within pathways related to cell proliferation and signal transduction.

Associated diseases and disorders

Zyxin has been implicated in cancer progression especially in metastasis where altered cell adhesion and movement play a role. It also relates to cardiovascular diseases due to its involvement in mechanotransduction pathways critical to heart muscle function. In cancer zyxin influences the activity of YAP/TAZ transcription regulators affecting tumor cell behavior. In cardiovascular scenarios the protein interacts with paxillin to mediate responses to mechanical load changes impacting heart disease progression.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Zyxin antibody [2D1] (ab58210)

    ICC/IF image of ab58210 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab58210, 1μg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.

    Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab58210 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab58210, 0.5μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2a [ICIGG2A] (Mouse IgG2a, Kappa Monoclonal [B12/8] - Isotype Control ab91361, 1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line). Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.
