Summary Large numbers of rare and unique titin missense variants have been discovered in both healthy and disease cohorts, thus the correct classification of variants as pathogenic or non-pathogenic has become imperative. Due to titin's large size (363 coding exons), current web applications are unable to map titin variants to domain structures. Here, we present a web application, TITINdb, whic...
The sarcomere contains, in addition to thin and thick filaments, a filament composed of the giant protein titin (also known as connectin). Titin molecules anchor in the Z-disc and extend to the M-line region of the sarcomere. The majority of titin’s I-band region functions as a molecular spring. This spring maintains the precise structural arrangement of thick and thin filaments, and gives rise...
Skeletal muscle nebulin is thought to determine thin filament length and regulate actomyosin interaction in a calcium/calmodulin or S100 sensitive manner. We have investigated the binding of nebulin SH3 with proline-rich peptides derived from the 28-mer PEVK modules of titin and the Z-line protein myopalladin, using fluorescence, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. Of ...
Rationale: Telethonin (also known as titin-cap or t-cap) is a 19-kDa Z-disk protein with a unique -sheet structure, hypothesized to assemble in a palindromic way with the N-terminal portion of titin and to constitute a signalosome participating in the process of cardiomechanosensing. In addition, a variety of telethonin mutations are associated with the development of several different disease...
A simple solid-phase binding assay was used to screen for interactions that the giant myofibrillar protein titin makes with other sarcomeric proteins. The titin used in the tests was purified by a modified procedure that results in isolation of approximately 20 mg relatively undegraded protein in < 24 h. In addition to the approximately 3 MDa polypeptide, bands at approximately 160 kDa and appr...
In myofibrils, titin (also called connectin) molecules span from Z line to M line and constitute a third filament system containing an elastic domain in the I band. This giant protein is particularly sensitive to proteolysis in situ. Treatment of rabbit skeletal myofibrils with exogenous proteinases induces a release of titin fragments, which are detected in the soluble myofibrillar fraction. T...
Titin is a giant structural protein in muscle that spans the half sarcomere from the z-band to the M-line in skeletal muscle. Although much is known about titin’s mechanical properties from tests on isolated molecules [1] or fragments of titin produced recombinantly, there is little information on its behavior within the structural confines of a sarcomere. Since the passive properties of single...
Cardiomyocytes of chronic hibernating myocardium are affected by partial to complete loss of sarcomeres, accumulation of glycogen, adaptations in size and shape of mitochondria, reorganisation of nuclear chromatin and depletion of sarcoplasmic reticulum. The nature of these changes, which from a purely morphologic viewpoint are akin to dedifferentiation, needed further clarification at the mole...
The giant sarcomeric protein titin (also described as connectin) is composed mainly of immunoglobulin (Ig)-like and fibronectin type III (fn3)-like domains arranged consecutively. At both ends of the molecule, these domains are interrupted by sequence insertions. The amino terminus of titin is localized in the Z-disk, a structure of great variability in different muscle types. We have determine...
