Myopodin also binds to α-actinin via its spectrin repeats <ref> PMID:16450054 </ref>, <ref> PMID:20554076 </ref> . Myopodin may be generally involved in the organization and anchoring of actin in muscle cells and might be required for the correct localization of α-actinin. This hypothesis is supported by recent findings where myopodin expression precedes actin and α-actinin expression <ref> PMID:20554076 </ref>. | Myopodin also binds to α-actinin via its spectrin repeats <ref> PMID:16450054 </ref>, <ref> PMID:20554076 </ref> .

A filamin-binding region was mapped to a fragment encompassing amino acids 240–521 of myopodin, i.e. a region that contains two of the previously described homology regions shared by myopodin and synaptopodin <ref> PMID:20554076 </ref>. | A filamin-binding region was mapped to a fragment encompassing amino acids 240–521 of myopodin, i.e. a region that contains two of the previously described homology regions shared by myopodin and synaptopodin <ref> PMID:20554076 </ref>. | ||
Yeast two-hybrid analysis also identified an interaction of myopodin with zyxin, which leads to slower migration of prostate cancer cells and reduced invasiveness <ref> PMID:16885336 </ref>. | |||
In cardiomyocytes, | In cardiomyocytes, myopodin forms a Z-disc signaling complex with α-actinin, calcineurin, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII), muscle-specific A-kinase anchoring protein, and myomegalin. Calcineurin keeps myopodin dephosphorylated preventing 14-3-3ß binding to myopodin. Upon activation of PKA/CaMKII or inhibition of calcineurin, myopodin undergoes phosphorylation, enabling its interaction with 14-3-3ß, which releases myopodin from the Z-disc-anchoring proteins and induces its nuclear import. This novel intracellular signaling pathway suggests that changes in Z-disc dynamics may translate into compartmentalized signal transduction in the heart <ref> PMID:17923693 </ref>. | ||
