Multiple functions of LIM domain-binding CLIM/NLI/Ldb cofactors during zebrafish development
No full textThe crucial involvement of CLIM/NLI/Ldb cofactors for the exertion of the biological activity of LIM homeodomain transcription factors (LIM-HD) has been demonstrated. In this paper we show that CLIM cofactors are widely expressed during zebrafish development with high protein levels in specific neuronal cell types where LIM-HD proteins of the Isl class are synthesized. The overexpression of a dominant-negative CLIM molecule (DN-CLIM) that contains the LIM interaction domain (LID) during early developmental stages of zebrafish embryos results in an impairment of eye and midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) development and disturbances in the formation of the anterior midline. On a cellular level we show that the outgrowth of peripheral but not central axons from Rohon Beard (RB) and trigeminal sensory neurons is inhibited by DN-CLIM overexpression. We demonstrate a further critical role of CLIM cofactors for axonal outgrowth of motor neurons. Additionally, DN-CLIM overexpression causes an increase of Isl-protein expression levels in specific neuronal cell types, likely due to a protection of the DN-CLIM/LIM-HD complex from proteasomal degradation. Our results demonstrate multiple roles of the CLIM cofactor family for the development of entire organs, axonal outgrowth of specific neurons and protein expression levels

Four and a half LIM protein 1C (FHL1C)
No full textFour-and-a-half LIM domain protein 1 isoform A (FHL1A) is predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Mutations in the FHL1 gene are causative for several types of hereditary myopathies including X-linked myopathy with postural muscle atrophy (XMPMA). We here studied myoblasts from XMPMA patients. We found that functional FHL1A protein is completely absent in patient myoblasts. In parallel, expression of FHL1C is either unaffected or increased. Furthermore, a decreased proliferation rate of XMPMA myoblasts compared to controls was observed but an increased number of XMPMA myoblasts was found in the G(0)/G(1) phase. Furthermore, low expression of K(v1.5), a voltage-gated potassium channel known to alter myoblast proliferation during the G(1) phase and to control repolarization of action potential, was detected. In order to substantiate a possible relation between K(v1.5) and FHL1C, a pull-down assay was performed. A physical and direct interaction of both proteins was observed in vitro. In addition, confocal microscopy revealed substantial colocalization of FHL1C and K(v1.5) within atrial cells, supporting a possible interaction between both proteins in vivo. Two-electrode voltage clamp experiments demonstrated that coexpression of K(v1.5) with FHL1C in Xenopus laevis oocytes markedly reduced K(+) currents when compared to oocytes expressing K(v1.5) only. We here present the first evidence on a biological relevance of FHL1C

Remarks A restudy of the above material from South Korea, which was misidentified as Hyleoglomeris emarginata Golovatch, 1981 by Mikhaljova & Lim (2000) proves that it actually belongs to H. buana sp. n. Thus, at present only six species of Hyleoglomeris (including new species) definitely occur in Korea. This new species seems to be particularly closely related to H. koreana Golovatch, 1978 described from the environs of Kannyn, South Korea, but differs by the shape of the caudomedial outgrowth of the telopod femur, by the structure of syncoxital lobe and lateral horns of the telopods, as well as by arrangement of thoracic striae and body coloration.Published as part of Mikhaljova, Elena V. & Lim, Kil-Young, 2006, New species of the genus Hyleoglomeris from Korea (Diplopoda: Glomerida: Glomeridae), pp. 45-58 in Zootaxa 1224 on pages 47-49, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17263

JJ: Ƥ, Donggye, Jeju, MT, 27.vi– 18.vii. 2007, C. H. Shin leg. (KFRI). Diagnosis. This species is mostly similar to Goniozus japonicus Ashmead, 1904 by having mandible yellow; by fore wing without areolet; by flagellomere 3–5 longer than wide respectively; by propodeal disc with complete transverse carina; by ratio of head and propodeal disc. However, this species can be distinguished from G. japonicus by short antennal segments, by pedicel to flagellomere 2 less than 1.5 × as long as wide, by flagellomere 11 1.5 × as long as wide (long antennal segments, pedicel to flagellomere 2 longer than 2.0 × as long as wide, flagellomere 11 2.0 × as long as wide in G. japonicus); by median and submedian cell of fore wing with relatively denser hairs (very sparse hairs in G. japonicus). Description. FEMALE (holotype). Body length 4.1 mm. LFW 2.5 mm. Color. Head: mandible yellow, antenna yellow, from flagellomeres 6–11 pale castaenous. Mesosoma black; fore wing subhyaline, veins pale castaenous; legs yellow except coxa and femora dark castaenous, tarsal claw dark castaenous. Metasoma black except distal margin of terga 4–7 pale castaenous. Head (Figs 18–20): 1.0 × as long as wide, coriaceous; lateral margin convex, posterior margin straight, postero-lateral corner forming round angle in dorsal view; lateral surface smooth and polished. Mandible with four acute teeth. Clypeus well-developed, frontal angle right; fronto-clypeal median longitudinal carina developed, exceeding antennal socket. First antennal segment in ratio of 2.3: 1.0: 1.0: 1.1: 1.2 in length; from scape to flagellomere 3 and 11 2.0, 1.3, 1.2, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.6 × as long as wide, respectively. Frons and vertex coriaceous with sub-erect hairs and sparse moderate punctures, aparted from each other 2.0–3.0 × as wide as their maximum diameter. WF 1.1 × LE, WF 0.6 × WH. Compound eye 0.37 mm long without hairs. LE 1.8 × OOL, WF 1.7 × WOT. Frontal angle of ocellar triangle obtuse, POL 2.1 × AOL, OOL 0.8 × WOT. Vertex coriaceous without conspicuous long hairs. Mesosoma (Figs 21–23): Pronotum coriaceous, 0.4 × as long as wide with sparse hairs, antero-lateral corner obtuse. Mesoscutum coriaceous; notauli absent; parapsidal furrows thin and anteriorly divergent. Scutellum polish and coriaceous with sparse small punctures; scutellar pit elliptical, oblique and connected by 3.9 × as wide as their maximum diameter. Propodeal disc 0.6 × as long as wide, lateral and transverse carina complete; medial basal triangle smooth and polished, extending mid-length of disc, connected to transverse carina with thin longitudinal carina in areolate surface. Disc areolate-rugose; declivity coriaceous with complete marginal carina; lateral surface coriaceous. Fore wing without closed areolate; median and submedian cell with two rows of hairs; radial vein curved outward at apex with obtuse angle; pterostigma 0.29 mm long; metacarpo absent. Metasoma (Fig. 24): Tergite 1 smooth and polished without fine puncture and microreticulation. Terga 2–4 smooth and micoreticulation on anterior half with some hairs on dorso-lateral surface. Terga 5–7 microreticulate with sparse hairs on distal surface. MALE. Unknown. Distribution.
