TITIN MODULE A71 FROM HUMAN CARDIAC MUSCLE, NMR, 50 STRUCTURES
Overview
BACKGROUND: Titin is a huge protein ( approximately 3 MDa) that is present in the contractile unit (sarcomere) of striated muscle and has a key role in muscle assembly and elasticity. Titin is mainly composed of two types of module (type I and II). Type I modules are found exclusively in the region of titin localised in the A band, where they are arranged in a super-repeat pattern that correlates with the ultrastructure of the thick filament. No structure of a titin type I module has been reported so far. RESULTS: We have determined the structure of a representative type I module, A71, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The structure has the predicted fibronectin type III fold. Titin-specific conserved residues are either located at the putative module-module interfaces or along one side of the protein surface. Several proline residues that contribute to two stretches in a polyproline II helix conformation are solvent-exposed and line up as a continuous ribbon extending over more than two-thirds of the module surface. Homology models of the type I module N-terminal to A71 (A70) and the double module A70-A71 were used to discuss possible intermodule interactions and their role in module-module orientation. CONCLUSIONS: As residues at the module-module interfaces are highly conserved, we speculate that similar interactions govern all of the interfaces between type I modules in titin. This conservation would lead to a regular multiple array of similar surface structures. Such an arrangement would allow arrays of contiguous type I modules to expose multiple proline stretches in a highly regular way and these may act as binding sites for other thick filament proteins.
