Function

Syntrophins (Syn) are a family of membrane-associated adaptor proteins which are important components of many signaling events: regulating the postsynaptic signal transduction, sarcolemmal localization of brain NOS and G-protein mediated signaling [1].

  • alpha-1-syntrophin is a cytoskeletal protein interacting with cardiac sodium channel[2].
  • beta-1-syntrophin is a scaffold protein that provides a platform for the formation of signal transduction complexes[3].

Disease

Mutations in Syn which interacts with sodium channel cause the inherited disorder long-QT syndrome resulting in sudden cardiac death[4].

Structural highlights

Syn is characterized by a plekstrin homology domain(PH) which is split by a PDZ domain and a C-terminal Syn unique domain. β-finger via its binding groove[5].
