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.

    Western blot - Anti-Zyxin antibody [ZOL301] (ab50391)

    Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab50391 observed at 75 kDa. Red - loading control Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602 (Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891]) observed at 37 kDa.

    ab50391 was shown to react with ZYX in wild-type HEK-293T cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in ZYX knockout cell line Human ZYX (Zyxin) knockout HEK-293T cell line ab266504 (ZYX knockout cell lysate Human ZYX (Zyxin) knockout HEK-293T cell lysate ab257810). Wild-type HEK-293T and ZYX knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-T (0.1 % Tween®) before incubation with ab50391 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602 (Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891]) overnight at 4 °C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were incubated with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

    Western blot - Anti-Zyxin antibody [ZOL301] (ab50391)

    False colour image of Western blot: Anti-Zyxin antibody [ZOL301] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Rabbit Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] (Anti-GAPDH antibody [EPR16891] - Loading Control ab181602) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab50391 was shown to bind specifically to Zyxin. A band was observed at 75 kDa in wild-type HEK-293T cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in ZYX CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line Human ZYX (Zyxin) knockout HEK-293T cell line ab266503 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate Human ZYX (Zyxin) knockout HEK-293T cell lysate ab257809). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 75 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of Zyxin. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and ZYX CRISPR-Cas9 edited HEK-293T cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed ab216777) at 1/20000 dilution.
