Domain

ZIS1 and ZIS5 regions contain multiple SPXR consensus sites for ERK- and CDK-like protein kinases as well as multiple SP motifs. ZIS1 could adopt a closed conformation which would block the TCAP-binding site.

The PEVK region may serve as an entropic spring of a chain of structural folds and may also be an interaction site to other myofilament proteins to form interfilament connectivity in the sarcomere.

Function

Key component in the assembly and functioning of vertebrate striated muscles. By providing connections at the level of individual microfilaments, it contributes to the fine balance of forces between the two halves of the sarcomere. The size and extensibility of the cross-links are the main determinants of sarcomere extensibility properties of muscle. In non-muscle cells, seems to play a role in chromosome condensation and chromosome segregation during mitosis. Might link the lamina network to chromatin or nuclear actin, or both during interphase.

Involvement in disease

Myopathy, myofibrillar, 9, with early respiratory failure

MFM9

An autosomal dominant myopathy characterized by adulthood onset of weakness in proximal, distal, axial and respiratory muscles. Pelvic girdle weakness, foot drop and neck weakness are the main symptoms at onset, but ultimately the weakness usually involves the proximal compartment of both upper and lower limbs. Additional features include variable degrees of Achilles tendon contractures, spinal rigidity and muscle hypertrophy. Respiratory involvement often leads to requirement for non-invasive ventilation support.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Cardiomyopathy, familial hypertrophic, 9

CMH9

A hereditary heart disorder characterized by ventricular hypertrophy, which is usually asymmetric and often involves the interventricular septum. The symptoms include dyspnea, syncope, collapse, palpitations, and chest pain. They can be readily provoked by exercise. The disorder has inter- and intrafamilial variability ranging from benign to malignant forms with high risk of cardiac failure and sudden cardiac death.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Cardiomyopathy, dilated, 1G

CMD1G

A disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tardive tibial muscular dystrophy

TMD

Autosomal dominant, late-onset distal myopathy. Muscle weakness and atrophy are usually confined to the anterior compartment of the lower leg, in particular the tibialis anterior muscle. Clinical symptoms usually occur at age 35-45 years or much later.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Muscular dystrophy, limb-girdle, autosomal recessive 10

LGMDR10

An autosomal recessive degenerative myopathy characterized by progressive weakness of the pelvic and shoulder girdle muscles. Severe disability is observed within 20 years of onset.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Congenital myopathy 5 with cardiomyopathy

CMYO5

An autosomal recessive, early-onset muscular disorder characterized by dilated cardiomyopathy, delayed motor development with generalized muscle weakness predominantly affecting proximal and distal lower limbs. Skeletal muscle biopsies show minicore-like lesions with mitochondrial depletion and sarcomere disorganization, centralized nuclei, and type 1 fiber predominance. Dystrophic changes become apparent in the second decade. Cardiac muscle biopsies show disruption of myocardial architecture, nuclear hypertrophy, and endomysial fibrosis. Sudden death may occurr due to cardiomyopathy.

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Post-translational modifications

Autophosphorylated.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.

Tissue specificity

Isoforms 3, 7 and 8 are expressed in cardiac muscle. Isoform 4 is expressed in vertebrate skeletal muscle. Isoform 6 is expressed in skeletal muscle (at protein level).
