Background: Cooperation between transcription factors and myogenic regulatory factors is important for skeletal muscle differentiation. Results: sLZIP inhibits expression of muscle-specific genes during myogenesis via disruption of an association betweenα-actinin- 4 and MEF2. Conclusion: A novel myogenesis regulatory mechanism of sLZIP is characterized. Significance: sLZIP can be used as a therapeutic target for treatment of muscle diseases. © 2014 by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.
