Ankrd1/CARP

Introduction

The cardiac ankyrin repeat protein (CARP/Ankrd1) belongs together with the ankyrin repeat domain 2 (Ankrd2/Arpp) and the diabetes associated ankyrin repeat protein (DARP) to a conserved muscle ankyrin repeat protein (MARP) family[1]. CARP/Ankrd1 has been independently identified by several groups as a cytokine-inducible transcriptional regulator, a protein that interacts with the transcriptional factor YB-1 and a cardiac doxorubicin-responsive protein[2],[3]. In physiological tissues, Ankrd1 is highly expressed in cardiac muscle and is detectable in skeletal muscles[3]. It is an early differentiation marker during cardiogenesis with a high expression level in developing heart[3], [4]. Mutations in the ANKRD1 gene are responsible for human dilated cardiomyopathy[5].

Sequence Annotation

The 319 aminoacid sequence of CARP/Ankrd1 is comprising an N-terminal coiled-coil followed by 5 ankyrin repoeats. The sequences of the human, mouse and rabbit proteins are available from Uniprot. Found on chromosome 10 in humans and 19 in mouse, the Ankrd1 gene structure is highly conserved, with nine exons and a canonical TATA box in the proximal promoter. Other canonical response elements identified in the 5' flanking sequence of CARP include GATA sites, E-box elements, a CCAC box, a CAGA box, and M-CAT, activator protein-1, SP-1, p53 binding sites[6],[7]. CARP protein sequence and domain organization is highly conserved among mammalian species: a bipartite nuclear localization signal, a PEST-like sequence, four highly conserved ankyrin-like repeats and another less conserved half repeat, and numerous potential modification sites for phosphorylation, glycosylation, and myristilation. Binding sites for sarcomeric proteins titin [1], calsequestrin-2 (CASQ2)[8] and telethonin/T-cap [9] are located in ankyrin repeat region of Ankrd1. It possesses two PEST motifs. Mutations or deletion of the PEST region increase Ankrd1 protein stability in vivo [9].


Structure

Currently there is no structure available for the Ankrd1 even though ankyrin repeats are very common, modular, protein–protein interaction motifs in nature. Idealized ankyrin repeat motifs that show similarity to Ankrd1 have been determined by X-ray crystallography (PDB Entries: 1n0r and 1n11)

To understand the structural determinants of this family of proteins and extract the consensus information that defines the architecture of this motif, we have designed a series of idealized ankyrin repeat proteins containing one, two, three, or four repeats by using statistical analysis of ≈4,000 ankyrin repeat sequences from the PFAM database. Biophysical and x-ray crystallographic studies of the three and four repeat constructs (3ANK and 4ANK) to 1.26 and 1.5 Å resolution, respectively, demonstrate that these proteins are well-folded, monomeric, display high thermostability, and adopt a very regular, tightly packed ankyrin repeat fold.

Gene Function and Interactions

Ankrd1 plays a structural role by interacting with the Z disc protein titin. It is a part of the titin-mechanosensory signaling complex in the sarcomere and in response to stretch it translocates to the nucleus where it participates in the regulation of cardiac genes as a transcriptional co-repressor[3]. Ankrd1 also co-localizes in the central I-band N2A region of titin. Specifically the binding site of Ankrd1 is located within its ankyrin repeat region and it interacts with a tyrosine-rich motif lying between two Ig-like motifs (I80 and I81)[1]. The cleavage of Ankrd1 by calpain 3 disrupts the bipartite NLS potentially affecting its nuclear transport[10] and the cleavage site is located at the N terminus of Ankrd1 between amino acids 30 and 71[11]. CARP/Ankrd1 binds the sarcomeric protein cardiac calsequestrin-2 (CASQ2)[8]. This interaction is mediated at least partially by the binding sites localized within the ankyrin repeats and the coiled-coil domain of Ankrd1. It has also been reported that the Ankrd1 is interacting with the sarcomeric proteins myopalladin[12], desmin[13] and the muscle-specific RING finger proteins MuRF1/MuRF2[14] indicating its important structural role. CARP/Ankrd1 also binds calpain 3 and several transcription factors such as YB1 and p53[10].

Pathology

Ankrd1 has been found to be induced in the hypertrophy, during cardiac ventricle overload[15] in the skeletal muscle under certain conditions such as exercise[16], denervation [17], work overload hypertrophy[18] and muscle pathologies[19],[20],[21]. It could also be involved in muscle disuse atrophy, since it was identified as an indirect target gene of two transcription factors (p50 and Bcl-3) associated with muscle wasting[22]. The Ankrd1 expression is increased in patients with left ventricular dilated and ischemic cardiomyopathies[23] and it has been identified as a candidate gene with a role in congenital heart disease [24].
