DOMAIN G2 OF MOUSE NIDOGEN-1
Overview
Nidogen, an invariant component of basement membranes, is a multifunctional protein that interacts with most other major basement membrane proteins. Here, we report the crystal structure of the mouse nidogen-1 G2 fragment, which contains binding sites for collagen IV and perlecan. The structure is composed of an EGF-like domain and an 11-stranded beta-barrel with a central helix. The beta-barrel domain has unexpected similarity to green fluorescent protein. A large surface patch on the beta-barrel is strikingly conserved in all metazoan nidogens. Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrates that the conserved residues are involved in perlecan binding.
