Ca2+-dependent interface formation in fibrillin-1.
The calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like (cbEGF) domain is a common structural motif in extracellular and transmembrane proteins. K(d) values for Ca2+ vary from the millimolar to nanomolar range; however the molecular basis for this variation is poorly understood. We have measured K(d) values for six fibrillin-1 cbEGF domains, each preceded by a transforming growth factor beta-binding p...
متن کاملFibrillin-1 microfibril deposition is dependent on fibronectin assembly.
Newly deposited microfibrils strongly colocalise with fibronectin in primary fibroblasts. Microfibril formation is grossly inhibited by fibronectin depletion, but rescued by supplementation with exogenous cellular fibronectin. As integrin receptors are key determinants of fibronectin assembly, we investigated whether they also influenced microfibril deposition. Analysis of beta1-integrin-recept...
متن کاملMicroenvironmental Regulation by Fibrillin-1
Fibrillin-1 is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix molecule that sequesters latent growth factor complexes. A role for fibrillin-1 in specifying tissue microenvironments has not been elucidated, even though the concept that fibrillin-1 provides extracellular control of growth factor signaling is currently appreciated. Mutations in FBN1 are mainly responsible for the Marfan syndrome (MFS), recogni...

متن کاملFibrillin-1 regulates the bioavailability of TGFβ1
We have discovered that fibrillin-1, which forms extracellular microfibrils, can regulate the bioavailability of transforming growth factor (TGF) beta1, a powerful cytokine that modulates cell survival and phenotype. Altered TGFbeta signaling is a major contributor to the pathology of Marfan syndrome (MFS) and related diseases. In the presence of cell layer extracellular matrix, a fibrillin-1 s...
