1H and 15N NMR resonance assignments and secondary structure of titin type I domains
Tóm tắt
Titin/connectin is a giant muscle protein with a highly modular architecture consisting ofmultiple repeats of two sequence motifs, named type I and type II. Type I modules have beensuggested to be intracellular members of the fibronectin type III (Fn3) domain family. Alongthe titin sequence they are exclusively present in the region of the molecule located in thesarcomere A-band. This region has been shown to interact with myosin and C-protein. Oneof the most noticeable features of type I modules is that they are particularly rich insemiconserved prolines, since these residues account for about 8% of their sequence. We havedetermined the secondary structure of a representative type I domain (A71) by 15N and 1HNMR. We show that the type I domains of titin have the Fn3 fold as proposed, consisting ofa three- and a four-stranded β-sheet. When the two sheets are placed on top of each other toform the β-sandwich characteristic of the Fn3 fold, 8 out of 10 prolines are found on the sameside of the molecule and form an exposed hydrophobic patch. This suggests that thesemiconserved prolines might be relevant for the function of type I modules, providing asurface for binding to other A-band proteins. The secondary structure of A71 was structurallyaligned to other extracellular Fn3 modules of known 3D structure. The alignment shows thattitin type I modules have closest similarity to the first Fn3 domain of Drosophila neuroglian.
