Figure 2 Titin kinase constructs used in this study. The domain pattern of the kinase region of human titin and the residues of the respective constructs are shown. Fn3, fibronectin-III-like domain; Ig, immunoglobulin like domain. a, Kin4 lacks the regulatory tail (RT), leaving a constitutively active catalytic core. The kin1 construct includes the regulatory tail. The N-terminal phasing is based on the N termini of DAP kinase^31 and of Dictyostelium discoideum MLCK42. b, Two-hybrid screens of human skeletal and cardiac complementary DNA libraries with kin4 and kin4(K36A) yield multiple overlapping clones from the regulatory tail, showing that there is a functional binding site in the active site of kin4. The strength of interaction is given by HIS3 signals and by -galactosidase activity30. The first residue in the cardiac titin sequence of three representative clones is shown at the left.
