ABSTRACT
Muskelin is an intracellular kelch-repeat protein comprised of discoidin, LisH,
CTLH and kelch-repeat domains. It is involved in cell adhesion and the
regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics as well as being a component of a putative
E3 ligase complex. Here, the first crystal structure of mouse muskelin discoidin
domain (MK-DD) is reported at 1.55 Å resolution, which reveals a distorted
eight-stranded β-barrel with two short α-helices at one end of the barrel.
Interestingly, the N- and C-termini are not linked by the disulfide bonds found
in other eukaryotic discoidin structures. A highly conserved MIND motif appears
to be the determinant for MK-DD specific interaction together with the spike
loops. Analysis of interdomain interaction shows that MK-DD binds the
kelch-repeat domain directly and that this interaction depends on the presence
of the LisH domain.
