LPP, an Actin Cytoskeleton Protein Related to Zyxin, Harbors a Nuclear Export Signal and Transcriptional Activation Capacity

Abstract excerpt

The LPP gene is the preferred translocation partner of the HMGIC gene in a subclass of human benign mesenchymal tumors known as lipomas. Here we have characterized the LPP gene product that shares 41% of sequence identity with the focal adhesion protein zyxin. LPP localizes in focal adhesions as well as in cell-to-cell contacts, and it binds VASP, a protein implicated in the control of actin organization. In...
