Summary

TLN1 (talin 1, HGNC:11845) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 9p13.3, encoding Talin-1 (Q9Y490). High molecular weight cytoskeletal protein concentrated at regions of cell-matrix and cell-cell contacts. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 56.1% of cell lines).

This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein that is concentrated in areas of cell-substratum and cell-cell contacts. The encoded protein plays a significant role in the assembly of actin filaments and in spreading and migration of various cell types, including fibroblasts and osteoclasts. It codistributes with integrins in the cell surface membrane in order to assist in the attachment of adherent cells to extracellular matrices and of lymphocytes to other cells. The N-terminus of this protein contains elements for localization to cell-extracellular matrix junctions. The C-terminus contains binding sites for proteins such as beta-1-integrin, actin, and vinculin.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. High molecular weight cytoskeletal protein concentrated at regions of cell-matrix and cell-cell contacts. Involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane. With KANK1 co-organize the assembly of cortical microtubule stabilizing complexes (CMSCs) positioned to control microtubule-actin crosstalk at focal adhesions (FAs) rims.

Subunit / interactions. Part of a complex composed of THSD1, PTK2/FAK1, TLN1 and VCL. Interacts with THSD1; this promotes interaction with PTK2/FAK1 and VCL. Binds with high affinity to VCL and with low affinity to integrins. Interacts with APBB1IP; this inhibits VCL binding. Interacts with PTK2/FAK1. Interacts with PIP5K1C and NRAP. Interacts with LAYN. Interacts with SYNM. Interacts with ITGB1; the interaction is prevented by competitive binding of ITGB1BP1. Interacts with SVEP1. Interacts (via R7 domain) with KANK1 or KANK2 (via KN motif); this interaction likely initiates the assembly of cortical microtubule stabilization complexes (CMSCs) at the vicinity of focal adhesions. Interacts with VCL; shows reduced VCL binding compared to isoform 2. Interacts with APBB1IP; shows similar level of binding compared to isoform 2. Interacts with VCL; shows enhanced VCL binding compared to isoform 1. Interacts with APBB1IP; shows similar level of binding compared to isoform 1. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human cytomegalovirus protein UL135.

Subcellular location. Cell projection. Ruffle membrane. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cell surface. Cell junction. Focal adhesion.

Tissue specificity. Expressed at low to non-detectable levels in many tissues but highly expressed in skin and pancreas with other tissues including kidney cortex, endocervix, testis, pituitary, liver, and spleen also showing robust expression.

Domain organisation. Consists of an N-terminal FERM domain linked via a short unstructured region to a large flexible C-terminal rod which contains 13 amphipathic helical bundles (R1-R13). The rod begins with a five-helix bundle (R1) followed by three four-helix bundles (R2-R4). These are followed by a series of eight five-helix bundles (R5-R7 and R9-R13) in which the N- and C-termini are positioned at opposite ends of the bundle, creating a linear chain. The four-helix bundle R8 does not disrupt the chain because it is inserted into a loop in the R7 five-helix bundle. The uneven distribution of four- and five-helix bundles creates two distinctly different zones: a compact N-terminal region sensitive to stretch and a linear C-terminal region that is optimal for force transmission.

Induction. By a combination of TGFB and EGF.

Miscellaneous. Shows reduced mechanical stability compared to isoform 1. Shows altered focal adhesion formation compared to isoform 1 with cells having a greater number of small adhesions compared to those expressing isoform 1. Expression in cancer cells is associated with altered drug responses. Cells show increased sensitivity to EGFR inhibitors but are resistant to drugs targeting PI3K signaling and cytoskeleton regulation.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 179 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
