Calponin homology (CH) domain; The CH domain is found in both cytoskeletal proteins and signal transduction proteins. The CH domain is involved in actin binding in some members of the family. However in calponins there is evidence that the CH domain is not involved in its actin binding activity. Most member proteins have from two to four copies of the CH domain, however some proteins such as calponin have only a single copy.

first calponin homology (CH) domain found in the beta spectrin family; The beta spectrin family includes beta-I, -II, -III, -IV and -V spectrins. Spectrin is an actin crosslinking and molecular scaffold protein that links the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton, and functions in the determination of cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins, and organization of organelles. It is composed of two antiparallel dimers of alpha- and beta- subunits. Beta-I spectrin, also called spectrin beta chain, erythrocytic (SPTB), may be involved in anaemia pathogenesis. Beta-II spectrin, also called spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTBN1), or fodrin beta chain, is a component of fodrin, which is the general spectrin-like protein that seems to be involved in secretion. Fodrin interacts with calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner and is thus a candidate for the calcium-dependent movement of the cytoskeleton at the membrane. Beta-IV spectrin is also called spectrin, non-erythroid beta chain 3 (SPTBN3) or spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 4 (SPTBN4). Its mutation associates with congenital myopathy, neuropathy, and central deafness. Beta-III spectrin is also called spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 2 (SPTBN2), or spinocerebellar ataxia 5 protein (SCA5). Beta-V spectrin, also called spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 5 (SPTBN5), is a mammalian ortholog of Drosophila beta H spectrin. Beta-III and Beta-V spectrins may play crucial roles as longer actin-membrane cross-linkers or fulfill the need for greater extensible flexibility than can be provided by the other smaller conventional spectrins. Members of this family contain two copies of the CH domain. This model corresponds to the first CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

first calponin homology (CH) domain found in the dystrophin family; The dystrophin family includes dystrophin and its paralog, utrophin. Dystrophin, encoded by the DMD gene, is a large, submembrane cytoskeletal protein that is the main component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) in skeletal muscles. It links the transmembrane DGC to the actin cytoskeleton through binding strongly to the cytoplasmic tail of beta-dystroglycan, the transmembrane subunit of a highly O-glycosylated cell-surface protein. Dystrophin is also involved in maintaining the structural integrity of cells, as well as in the formation of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Utrophin, also called dystrophin-related protein 1 (DRP-1), is an autosomal dystrophin homolog that increases dystrophic muscle function and reduces pathology. It is broadly expressed in both the mRNA and protein levels, and occurs in the cerebrovascular endothelium. Utrophin forms the utrophin-glycoprotein complex (UGC) by interacting with dystroglycans (DGs) and sarcoglycan-dystroglycans, as well as sarcoglycan and sarcospan (SG-SSPN) subcomplexes. It may act as a scaffolding protein that stabilizes lipid microdomains and clusters mechanosensitive channel subunits, and links the F-actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane via the associated glycoprotein complex. Members of this family contain two copies of the CH domain. This model corresponds to the first CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

It is required for anchoring either intermediate filaments to the actin cytoskeleton in neural and muscle cells, or keratin-containing intermediate filaments to hemidesmosomes in epithelial cells. MACF1, also called 620 kDa actin-binding protein (ABP620), actin cross-linking family protein 7 (ACF7), macrophin-1, or trabeculin-alpha, is a large protein containing numerous spectrin and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains.

second calponin homology (CH) domain found in the alpha-actinin family; The alpha-actinin (ACTN) family includes alpha-actinin-1, -2, -3, and -4. They are F-actin cross-linking proteins which are thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. ACTN1 mutations cause congenital macrothrombocytopenia. ACTN2 mutations are associated with cardiomyopathies, as well as skeletal muscle disorder. ACTN3 is critical in anchoring the myofibrillar actin filaments and plays a key role in muscle contraction. ACTN4 is associated with cell motility and cancer invasion. It is probably involved in vesicular trafficking via its association with the CART complex, which is necessary for efficient transferrin receptor recycling but not for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) degradation. Members of this family contain two copies of the CH domain. This model corresponds to the second CH domain. CH domains are actin filament (F-actin) binding motifs.

first calponin homology (CH) domain found in utrophin and similar proteins; Utrophin, also called dystrophin-related protein 1 (DRP-1), is an autosomal dystrophin homolog that increases dystrophic muscle function and reduces pathology. It is broadly expressed in both the mRNA and protein levels, and occurs in the cerebrovascular endothelium. Utrophin forms the utrophin-glycoprotein complex (UGC) by interacting with dystroglycans (DGs) and sarcoglycan-dystroglycans, as well as sarcoglycan and sarcospan (SG-SSPN) subcomplexes. It may act as a scaffolding protein that stabilizes lipid microdomains and clusters mechanosensitive channel subunits, and link the F-actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane via the associated glycoprotein complex. Like dystrophin, utrophin has a compact cluster of domains comprising four EF-hand-like motifs and a ZZ-domain, followed by a looser region with two coiled-coils. These domains are believed to be involved in protein-protein interactions. In addition, it contains two syntrophin binding sites (SBSs) and a long N-terminal extension that comprises two actin-binding calponin homology (CH) domains, up to 24 spectrin repeats (SRs), and a WW domain. However, utrophin lacks the intrinsic microtubule binding activity of dystrophin SRs. This model corresponds to the first CH domain.

Calponin homology (CH) domain; The CH domain is found in both cytoskeletal proteins and signal transduction proteins. The CH domain is involved in actin binding in some members of the family. However in calponins there is evidence that the CH domain is not involved in its actin binding activity. Most member proteins have from two to four copies of the CH domain, however some proteins such as calponin have only a single copy.
