  • Amongst these is zyxin, a multifunctional LIM domain containing protein that colocalizes with cytoskeletal proteins. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • In mammalian cells, zyxin can shuttle between adhesion plaques and the nucleus, suggesting a mechanism by which changes in cell adhesion can trigger changes in gene expression and cellular differentiation. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • To gain a mechanistic understanding of signaling at adhesion plaques we have undertaken a study of a zyxin homologue in C. elegans. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • We isolated a cDNA that encodes a zyxin-like molecule in C. elegans. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
  • This gene, zyx-1, has the characteristic features of zyxin, including a proline-rich N-terminal region believed to be important for protein-protein interactions, as well as 3 LIM domains, each with a canonical LIM consensus sequence. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
