(the LIM domain protein Zyxin) leaf 3 (Zyxin, Paxillin, Testin, Enigma (and similar proteins) are found in membrane-related actin dynamics; Zyxin consists of three C-terminal LIM domains and a proline-rich N-terminal region containing a nuclear localization signal sequence and sites for the binding of alpha-actin and VASP) leaf 16 (Zyxin is a cytosolic protein capable of interactions with the actin polymerizing protein VASP, alpha-actinin and has transcriptional activation capability)

found: Science's Signal transduction knowledge environment, via WWW, Apr. 17, 2006(Component: Zyxin (Zyxin). Type: protein : cytoskeletal protein. Zyxin is an ~570 amino acid protein that is widely expressed in humans. Zyxin localizes to focal adhesions, stress fibers, cell-cell junctions, and nuclei. Zyxin appears to function as an adaptor or docking protein to organize protein complexes important for regulated actin cytoskeleton dynamics.)
