The NMR structure of the PSCD4 domain of pleuralin-1 from Cylindrotheca fusiformis contains only three short helical elements and is stabilized by five unique disulfide bridges. PSCD4 contains two binding sites for Ca(2+) ions with millimolar affinity. NMR-based interaction studies show an interaction of the domain with native silaffin-1A as well as with alpha-frustulins. The interaction sites of the two proteins mapped on the PSCD4 structure are contiguous and show only a small overlap. A plausible functional role of pleuralin could be to bind simultaneously silaffin-1A located inside the cell wall and alpha-frustulin coating the cell wall, thus connecting the interfaces between hypotheca and epitheca at the girdle bands. Restrained molecular dynamics calculations suggest a bead-chain-like structure of the central part of pleuralin-1.
