TLNRD1 is a CCM complex component and regulates endothelial barrier integrity
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
We previously identified talin rod domain-containing protein 1 (TLNRD1) as a potent actin-bundling protein in vitro. Here, we report that TLNRD1 is expressed in the vasculature in vivo. Its depletion leads to vascular abnormalities in vivo and modulation of endothelial cell monolayer integrity in vitro. We demonstrate that TLNRD1 is a component of the cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) complex through its direct interaction with CCM2, which is mediated by a hydrophobic C-terminal helix in CCM2 that attaches to a hydrophobic groove on the four-helix domain of TLNRD1. Disruption of this binding interface leads to CCM2 and TLNRD1 accumulation in the nucleus and actin fibers. Our findings indicate that CCM2 controls TLNRD1 localization to the cytoplasm and inhibits its actin-bundling activity and that the CCM2-TLNRD1 interaction impacts endothelial actin stress fiber and focal adhesion formation. Based on these results, we propose a new pathway by which the CCM complex modulates the actin cytoskeleton and vascular integrity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
