Crystal structure of the titin M10-Obscurin Ig domain 1 complex
Structural highlights
FunctionOBSCN_HUMAN Involved in myofibrillogenesis. Seems to be involved in assembly of myosin into sarcomeric A bands in striated muscle. Isoform 3 together with ANK1 isoform Mu17/Ank1.5 may provide a molecular link between the sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofibrils.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedM10 is the most C-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig) domain of the giant protein titin and a frequent target of disease-linked mutations. Currently, it is the only known muscle Ig-domain able to interact with two alternative ligands - obscurin and obscurin-like-1 (Obsl1) - in different sarcomeric subregions. Obscurin and Obsl1 use their homologous N-terminal Ig domain (O1 in obscurin and OL1 in Obsl1) to bind M10 in a mutually exclusive manner. We present here the X-ray structure of the human titin:obscurin M10:O1 complex extending our previous work on the M10:OL1 interaction. Similar to M10:OL1, the M10:O1 complex displays a chevron-shaped antiparallel Ig-Ig architecture held together by a conserved molecular interface, which we validated by isothermal titration calorimetry and sorting experiments in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCs). O1 although structurally related to OL1 and M10, both members of the I-set Ig family, presents an intriguing switch of its betaA' strand. This leads to structural differences between the complexes, particularly, for the 'open-side' of the chevron-shaped assembly. A bioinformatics analysis reveals that the betaA'-switch observed for O1 is rare and that it is involved in mediating protein-protein interactions. Molecular Dynamics simulations also suggest that this topological alteration substantially increases local flexibility compared to the conventional I-set Ig domains. The O1/OL1 Ig domains are candidate discriminatory structural modules potentially directing the binding of specific additional partners at the M-band. Cellular sorting experiments in NRCs are consistent with the view that the titin:obscurin/Obsl1 complexes might be a platform for higher order interactions.
