Introduction
Muscle LIM Protein (MLP) is the alternative name for cystein rich protein 3 (CRP3) one of the three CRP family members identified in vertebrates. CRPs 1-3 contain 192-194 residues and consist of two LIM domains with the adjacent flexible glycine reach linker region. Each LIM domain comprises two Zn-binding motifs CCHC and CCCC and represents structural and presumably functional independent unit.

Sequence Annotation

Structures
LIM domains have been intensively characterized using NMR. The solution structures exist for human MLP and other vertebrate CRPs family members.
Function and Interactions
All three CRPs are associated with the actin cytoskeleton and have similar functions in different muscle varieties. MLP (or CRP3) is localized in Z and M-lines in striated muscles.
The interactions of MLP with α-actinin, telethonin[1], βI-spectrin, N-RAP (Nebulin-related-anchoring protein) and cofilin2 (CFL2) have been suggested in the literature, underlying the essential role of MLP as a scaffold protein in the sarcomere. During myogenesis MLP has been suggested to form complexes with the muscle helix-loop-helix transcription factors MyoD, MRF4 and myogenin.
Pathology
Mutations on MLP are reported to be involved in cardiac myopathies. The MLP mutation W4R is disrupting the interaction with [telethonin][2] and is responsible for Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)
