The 1.9-A crystal structure of the noncollagenous (NC1) domain of human placenta collagen IV shows stabilization via a novel type of covalent Met-Lys cross-link
Contents |
Overview
Triple-helical collagen IV protomers associate through their N- and, C-termini forming a three-dimensional network, which provides basement, membranes with an anchoring scaffold and mechanical strength. The, noncollagenous (NC1) domain of the C-terminal junction between two, adjacent collagen IV protomers from human placenta was crystallized and, its 1.9-A structure was solved by multiple anomalous diffraction (MAD), phasing. This hexameric NC1 particle is composed of two trimeric caps, which interact through a large planar interface. Each cap is formed by two, alpha 1 fragments and one alpha 2 fragment with a similar previously, uncharacterized fold, segmentally arranged around an axial tunnel. Each, monomer chain folds into two structurally very similar subdomains, which, each contain a finger-like hairpin loop that inserts into a six-stranded, beta-sheet of the neighboring subdomain of the same or the adjacent chain., Thus each trimer forms a quite regular, but nonclassical, sixfold, propeller. The trimer-trimer interaction is further stabilized by a, previously uncharacterized type of covalent cross-link between the side, chains of a Met and a Lys residue of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains from, opposite trimers, explaining previous findings of nonreducible cross-links, in NC1. This structure provides insights into NC1-related diseases such as, Goodpasture and Alport syndromes.
