It contains type-III fibronectin (motif I) and C2-immunoglobulin (motif II) domains. Myomesin is found in the M-bridges of sarcomeres which produce the muscle contraction and provide their elasticity. The giant protein Titin interconnects the major structure of sarcomeres - the M bands and Z discs. The C-terminal of titin binds to myomesin-1 and myomesin-2. Myomesin-1 and myomesin-2 have a unique N-terminal region followed by 12 motifs in the order of II-II-I-I-I-I-I-II-II-II-II-II. Relevance The up-regulation of myimesin denotes an adaptive remodeling of the sarcomere cytoskeleton in dilated heart and mya serve as a marker for dilated cardiomyopathy. Structural highlights The structure of myomesin-1 domains 9-11 show a superhelical coil arrangement which can be stretched to about 2.5-fold of its original length by reversible unfolding of the linkers. This property of the protein can explains its role in the elasticity of muscle fibers.
