Abstract:
The giant sarcomeric protein titin contains a protein kinasedomain (TK) ideally positioned to sense mechanical load. Weidentified a signaling complex where TK interacts with the zinc-fingerprotein nbr1 through a mechanically inducible conformation.Nbr1 targets the ubiquitin-associated p62/SQSTM1 to sarcomeres,and p62 in turn interacts with MuRF2, a muscle-specific RING-B-boxE3 ligase and ligand of the transactivation domain of the serumresponse transcription factor (SRF). Nuclear translocation ofMuRF2 was induced by mechanical inactivity and caused reductionof nuclear SRF and repression of transcription. A human mutationin the titin protein kinase domain causes hereditary muscledisease by disrupting this pathway.
