Background:
FHL1 (Four-and-a-half LIM domains protein 1; also SLIM1 and KyoT1) is an approximately 35 kDa member of the four-and-a half class of the LIM domain-only protein family. It is highly expressed in myocardium and skeletal muscle, and is now known to bind NFATc1, promoting muscle hypertrophy. It is also noted to be a RIP140 binding partner that inhibits estrogen receptor signaling. Human FHL1 is 323 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one C4-type Zn-finger region (aa 7-31), three distinct LIM domains (aa 40-77; 101-158; 162-212) and a bipartite NLS (aa 231-246). There is one 32 kDa splice variant that shows a 50 aa substitution for aa 231-323. This creates a fourth LIM domain. There are also alternative start sites 29 aa and 16 aa upstream of the standard site, a deletion of aa 168-296, and an 11 aa substitution for aa 81-91. Over aa 93-166, human FHL1 is 97% aa identical to mouse FHL1.
