alpha-Helical solenoid model for the human involucrin.

  ABSTRACT  
 
Involucrin is a key component of the cross-linked envelope of terminally differentiated keratinocytes. The human molecule largely consists of 10 residue repeats and forms a thin 460 A long rod. Summarized experimental data and a detailed stereochemical analysis made with computer modeling resulted in a structural model for the involucrin molecule. The suggested structure is a left-handed alpha-helical solenoid built of a tandem array of helix-turn-helix folds. The structure enables us to explain the whole set of experimental data and residue conservations within the repeats. It is ideally suited to serve as a scaffold for cell envelope assembly and proposes a possible mode of the intermolecular interactions of involucrin during cell cornification.
 
  Selected figure(s)  
 
Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Scheme of the repetitive multiplication of the 10 residue unit during search of the initial template for the involucrin structure. α-Helical segments are represented by cylinders. The crossing angle ω was used to vary the orientation of the α-helical segments; Δz and Δφ are components of the screw translation. Circles with ‘L’ on the surface of the α-helices indicate location of leucines 5 and 8.
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Diagram showing the solvent-accessible surface of a fragment of the repetitive domain (residues 312–361) of human involucrin. A dotted line winding around the involucrin groove denotes a possible mode of peptide binding. For simplicity, only C[β] atoms of the outside side chains are shown.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time.
