Summary

TPM4 (tropomyosin 4, HGNC:12013) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.12-p13.11, encoding Tropomyosin alpha-4 chain (P67936). Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 19.5% of cell lines).

This gene encodes a member of the tropomyosin family of actin-binding proteins involved in the contractile system of striated and smooth muscles and the cytoskeleton of non-muscle cells. Tropomyosins are dimers of coiled-coil proteins that polymerize end-to-end along the major groove in most actin filaments. They provide stability to the filaments and regulate access of other actin-binding proteins. In muscle cells, they regulate muscle contraction by controlling the binding of myosin heads to the actin filament. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells. Plays a central role, in association with the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated muscle contraction. Smooth muscle contraction is regulated by interaction with caldesmon. In non-muscle cells is implicated in stabilizing cytoskeleton actin filaments. Binds calcium. Plays a role in platelet biogenesis.

Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Heterodimer of an alpha (TPM1, TPM3 or TPM4) and a beta (TPM2) chain.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.

Tissue specificity. Detected in cardiac tissue and platelets, the form found in cardiac tissue is a higher molecular weight than the form found in platelets. Expressed at higher levels in the platelets of hypertensive patients with cardiac hypertrophy than in the platelets of hypertensive patients without cardiac hypertrophy (at protein level).

Disease relevance. Bleeding disorder, platelet-type, 25 (BDPLT25) [MIM:620486] An autosomal dominant disorder characterized by increased bleeding tendency due to decreased or dysfunctional platelets. Platelet morphologic and functional defects are variable. Some individuals have normal numbers of enlarged platelets. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. The molecule is in a coiled coil structure that is formed by 2 polypeptide chains. The sequence exhibits a prominent seven-residues periodicity.

Similarity. Belongs to the tropomyosin family.
