Abstract
Nidogen, an invariant component of basement membranes, is a multifunctional protein that interacts with most other major basement membrane proteins. Here, we report the crystal structure of the mouse nidogen-1 G2 fragment, which contains binding sites for collagen IV and perlecan. The structure is composed of an EGF-like domain and an 11-stranded beta-barrel with a central helix. The beta-barrel domain has unexpected similarity to green fluorescent protein. A large surface patch on the beta-barrel is strikingly conserved in all metazoan nidogens. Site-directed mutagenesis demonstrates that the conserved residues are involved in perlecan binding.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. The nidogen G2 structure. a, Stereo view of the structure with the EGF-like domain in green and the -barrel domain in cyan. -strands are labeled a -b in the EGF-like domain and A -K in the -barrel domain. The -helices 1 -3 are in red and disulfide bridges in yellow. To facilitate the tracing of the polypeptide chain disordered segments (residues 357 -366, 374 -380, 565 -570 and 588 -595) have been included in arbitrary but stereochemically sensible conformations and are shown in light gray. b, Topology diagram of the -barrel domain. The barrel is closed by the parallel interaction of strands A and F. c, Stereo view of a portion of the experimental electron density map after solvent flattening at 2.8 Å resolution. The final model is superimposed on the map. Shown are -strands D, E and F. Figs 1a,c, 2 and 4 were made with BOBSCRIPT35 and RASTER3D^36.

Figure 2. Comparison of the -barrels of nidogen G2 and Aequora victoria GFP22. Nidogen G2 is in magenta and GFP in green. A total of 195 C atoms were superimposed with an r.m.s. deviation of 2.5 Å. In the nidogen G2 trace every 20^th C atom is shown as a small, labeled sphere. The chromophore in GFP is shown as a ball-and-stick model.
