A disease-associated mutation in fibrillin-1 differentially regulates integrin-mediated cell adhesion. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Biol Chem, 2019
Fibrillins serve as scaffolds for the assembly of elastic fibers that contribute to the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and regulate growth factor signaling in the extracellular space.

Extracellular Regulation of Bone Morphogenetic Protein Activity by the Microfibril Component Fibrillin-1

open access: greenJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2016
Since the discovery of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) as pluripotent cytokines extractable from bone matrix, it has been speculated how targeting of BMPs to the extracellular matrix (ECM) modulates their bioavailability. Understanding these processes

Ca2+-dependent Interface Formation in Fibrillin-1 [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
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.

Fibulin-5 interacts with fibrillin-1 molecules and microfibrils [PDF]

open access: greenBiochemical Journal, 2005
Fibulin-5 plays an important role in elastic fibre formation in vivo. We have investigated the molecular interactions between fibulin-5 and components of fibrillin-rich microfibrils which form a template for elastin. Fibulin-5 interacted in a dose-dependent manner with a fibrillin-1 N-terminal sequence and with tropoelastin, but not with MAGP-1 ...

Macromolecular crowding enhances fibrillin-1 deposition in the extracellular matrix [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Cells & Materials, 2022
Biochemical and biophysical factors need consideration when modelling in vivo cellular behaviour using in vitro cell culture systems. One underappreciated factor is the high concentration of macromolecules present in vivo, which is typically not ...

Protein Interaction Studies of MAGP-1 with Tropoelastin and Fibrillin-1 [PDF]

open access: hybridJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Elastic fibers consist primarily of an amorphous elastin core associated with microfibrils, 10-12 nm in diameter, containing fibrillins and microfibril-associated glycoproteins (MAGPs). To investigate the interaction of MAGP-1 with tropoelastin and fibrillin-1, we expressed human MAGP-1 as a T7-tag fusion protein in Escherichia coli.
