In humans, 3 isoforms of Filamins exist that are coded by 3 different genes. While the genes for Filamin A and Filamin B are present on the X chromosome and chromosome 3 respectively, and both show a ubiquitous expression in many tissues, gene for Filamin C is located on the Chromosome 7 and the encoded protein is specifically expressed in muscles and has been predicted to have a Z disc targeting motif. [1]

Filamin C (also known as FLNc/Gamma-Filamin/ ABPL) is an actin binding homodimeric protein composed of two 290 kDa subunits. Each subunit is composed of an α-actinin like N terminal actin binding domain (ABD) made up of 2 calponin homology tandem repeats followed by a flexible rod region containing 24 Immunoglobulin like domains (Ig- like) of around 96 residues each. Each Ig domain is made of 7 β strands arranged antiparallel in group of 4 and 3 sheets forming a β sandwich. The most C terminal domain (Ig 24) is the self association domain required for its dimerization ability. (Shown on right) The presence of 2 flexible calpain sensitive hinges, Hinge 1 between domain 15 and 16 divides the subunit into Rod 1 and Rod 2 domains and Hinge 2 between 23 and 24 separates the dimerization domain from the rest of domains. It is noteworthy to mention that the Hinge 1 is alternatively spliced and the majorly expressed variant of FLNc in striated muscles, lacks this hinge [2]. Also, in FLNc, there is a unique insertion of 80 amino acid residues in domain 20, which is predicted to play a role in Z disc targeting. [3] As the three Filamin proteins share around 70% homology over the entire sequence with the exception of the hinges [4], not many structures of the Filamin C domains exist in the PDB.


Sequence

The amino-acid sequence of Human Filamin C is available from uniprot uniprot. The sequence annotation based on the tertiary structure is provided in Figure 1. Note that in Filamin C, Hinge 1 is absent. Also, the evidence for the presence of domain pairs in the C terminal region is only confirmed for FLNa and FLNb. [5] [6] [7]

3D Structures

So far, only 7 3 dimensional structures of Filamin C domains exist in the protein database, out which only 2 are solved by X ray crystallography and the rest are solved by NMR.

Functions and interaction partners of Filamin C

Figure 2 Known interactions of Filamin C



Since its discovery in 1975 as one of the most potent crosslinkers of F- actin [8] , major efforts have been focused to elucidate the role of Filamins as scaffolding and signaling molecule in cells. Its major functions include:

• Cross linking actin filaments to form Orthogonal branched networks

• Physically linking actin cytoskeleton to the membrane

• Localization of the membrane receptors and stabilization of the membrane

• Serving as scaffold for various interacting proteins which indicates its role in signalling


Some of the major interacting partners are shown in the diagram here. [9]

• Integrin β1A - Domain 19-24 [10]

• Migfilin - Domain 21 [11] [12]

Myotilin - Domain 19-21 [1]

• FATZ-1 (myozenin-1, calsarcin 2) - Domain 20-24 [13]

Xin - Domain 20 [14]

• Gamma- and delta-sarcoglycans - Domain 23-24 [15]

Myopodin - Domain 19-21 [16]


Pathology

Mutations in Filamin C gene form a rare cause Myofibrillar Myopathy (MFM) presenting a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms, mostly involving progressive muscle weakness in all limbs.

• First mutation identified in FLNc was in Ig domain 24 (Dimerization domain), caused by a non sense mutation of (8130G-->A; W2710X) [17]

• Recently an in frame 6 amino acid deletion (Lys899-Val904) and 2 amino acid insertion (Val 899-Cys900) was identified in Ig domain 7 [18]

• And another in frame 4 amino acid (Val930_Thr933) deletion mutation in Ig domain 7 has been found. [19]

• Recently a mutation of 7256C--->T (Thr2419Met) in exon 44 of FLNC coding for domain 22, has been linked to cerebral ataxia in some cases of MFM. [20]

• A mutation of 577G---->A (Ala193Thr)in the Filamin C ABD has been shown to cause dominant distal myopathy [21]

For an extended pathophysiology of the MFM, see [22] [23]
