INTEGRIN BINDING CBEGF22-TB4-CBEGF33 FRAGMENT OF HUMAN FIBRILLIN-1, CA BOUND TO CBEGF23 DOMAIN ONLY

OverviewOverview

Human fibrillin-1, the major structural protein of extracellular matrix, (ECM) 10-12 nm microfibrils, is dominated by 43 calcium binding epidermal, growth factor-like (cbEGF) and 7 transforming growth factor beta binding, protein-like (TB) domains. Crystal structures reveal the integrin binding, cbEGF22-TB4-cbEGF23 fragment of human fibrillin-1 to be a, Ca(2+)-rigidified tetragonal pyramid. We suggest that other cbEGF-TB pairs, within the fibrillins may adopt a similar orientation to cbEGF22-TB4. In, addition, we have located a flexible RGD integrin binding loop within TB4., Modeling, cell attachment and spreading assays, immunocytochemistry, and, surface plasmon resonance indicate that cbEGF22 bound to TB4 is a, requirement for integrin activation and provide insight into the molecular, basis of the fibrillin-1 interaction with alphaVbeta3. In light of our, data, we propose a novel model for the assembly of the fibrillin, microfibril and a mechanism to explain its extensibility.
