The Z-line is a specialized structure connecting adjacent sarcomeres in muscle cells. alpha-Actinin cross-links actin filaments in the Z-line. Several PDZ-LIM domain proteins localize to the Z-line and interact with alpha-actinin. Actinin-associated LIM protein (ALP), C-terminal LIM domain protein (CLP36), and Z band alternatively spliced PDZ-containing protein ( ZASP) have a conserved region named the ZASP-like motif (ZM) between PDZ and LIM domains. To study the interactions and function of ALP we used purified recombinant proteins in surface plasmon resonance measurements. We show that ALP and alpha-actinin 2 have two interaction sites. The ZM motif was required for the interaction of ALP internal region with the alpha-actinin rod and for targeting of ALP to the Z-line. The PDZ domain of ALP bound to the C terminus of alpha-actinin. This is the first indication that the ZM motif would have a direct role in a protein-protein interaction. These results suggest that the two interaction sites of ALP would stabilize certain conformations of alpha-actinin 2 that would strengthen the Z-line integrity.
