The LIM domain is a cysteine-rich zinc-finger motif found in a large family of proteins. In LIM-homeodomain (LIM-hd) transcription factors and LIM-only (LMO) factors, the LIM domains are responsible for key interactions with co-activators, co-repressors, competitors, and other transcription factors, and are therefore of considerable importance for the regulation of associated transcriptional activity. In this review, the authors describe the progressive discoveries of NLI/Ldb/CLIM, LMO and RLIM, and discuss how the field was very recently updated by the finding that LIM-hd transcriptional activity is controlled by regulated degradation of cofactors and LIM-hd themselves.
