Abstract
Z band alternately spliced PDZ-containing protein (ZASP) is a sarcomere Z disk protein expressed in human cardiac and skeletal muscle that is thought to be involved in a dominant familial dilated cardiomyopathy. The N-terminal PDZ domain of ZASP interacts with the C terminus of alpha-actinin-2, the major component of the Z disk, probably by forming a ternary complex with titin Z repeats. We have determined the structure of ZASP PDZ by NMR and showed that it is a classical class 1 PDZ domain that recognizes the carboxy-terminal sequence of an alpha-actinin-2 calmodulin-like domain with micromolar affinity. We also characterized the role of each component in the ternary complex ZASP/alpha-actinin-2/titin, showing that the alpha-actinin-2/ZASP PDZ interaction involves a binding surface distinct from that recognized by the titin Z repeats. ZASP PDZ structure was used to model other members of the enigma family by homology and to predict their abilities to bind alpha-actinin-2.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. Diagram of the Sarcomere and Domain Architecture(A) Schematic representation of the sarcomere. The position of the Z disk and of the M line is indicated. A single molecule titin filament (indicated in green) connects the Z disk to the M line. In the Z disk, a-actinin-2 (in yellow) forms transversal connections between actin filaments (in red) and is thought to bind ZASP (in blue).(B) Domain architecture of the titin region localized in the Z disk, a-actinin-2, and ZASP (variant 3).
