Structure of the armadillo repeat domain of plakophilin 1

Overview

The p120ctn subfamily of armadillo domain proteins has roles in modulating, intercellular adhesion by cadherin-containing junctions. We have, determined the crystal structure of the arm repeat domain from, plakophilin-1 (PKP1), a member of the p120ctn subfamily that is found in, desmosomes. The structure reveals that the domain has nine instead of the, expected ten arm repeats. A sequence predicted to be an arm repeat is, instead a large insert which serves as a wedge that produces a significant, bend in the overall domain structure. Structure-based sequence alignments, indicate that the nine repeats and large insert are common to this, subfamily of armadillo proteins. A prominent basic patch on the surface of, the protein may serve as a binding site for partners of these proteins.
