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.
