Protein: Synaptopodin-2 (Myopodin) (D4A702)
Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Function: Has an actin-binding and actin-bundling activity. Can induce the formation of F-actin networks. At the sarcomeric Z lines is proposed to act as adapter protein that links nascent myofibers to the sarcolemma via ZYX and may play a role in early assembly and stabilization of the Z lines (By similarity). Involved in autophagosome formation. May play a role in chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) involved in Z lines maintenance in striated muscle under mechanical tension; may link the client-processing CASA chaperone machinery to a membrane-tethering and fusion complex providing autophagosome membranes. Involved in regulation of cell migration. May be a tumor suppressor (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91YE8}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91YE8}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UMS6}. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11673475}. Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UMS6}. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a differentiation-dependent and stress-induced fashion. In undifferentiated myoblasts strongly expressed in the nucleus, after induction of myotube differentiation is located to both nucleus and cytoplasm along acting filaments, and in differentiated myotubes is located at the Z lines. Upon stress redistributes from cytoplasm of myoblasts and myotubes to the nucleus. Nuclear import is KPNA2-dependent and promoted by phosphorylation by PKA and/or CaMK2, and inhibition of calcineurin. The nuclear export is XPO1-dependent. Localized in a fiber-like pattern, partly overlapping with filamentous actin (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91YE8, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UMS6}.
