- The fibulins family is made up of six extracellular matrix glycopoteins and are found in a variety of tissues but are predominantly found in the vasculature. They function as scaffold and adhesion proteins. They associate with a diverse array of supramolecular structures, including elastic fibers, basement membrane networks, fibronectin microfibrils and proteoglycan aggregates. Mutations in the fibulin gene are associated with heritable diseases. For example mutations in fibulin-5 result in cutis-laxa which is a disease that is characterised by loose and sagging skin. This is because fibulin-5 is intimately associated with proper elastin formation. As we can see from the image above the N-terminal varies immensly and this variation is responsible for the variety of function of the fibulins. The C-terminal domain of is conserved throughout the fibulins. The C-terminal domain doesn’t show any secondary structure. It is this C-terminal domain that differentiates the various fibulins since there C-terminal domains have a variety of ligands. For example Fibulin-5 can bind superoxide dismutase and Lp(a). There are also splice isoforms that result in varying lengths of the C-terminal domain as is the case of fibulin-1. Of particular interest is the Epidermal-Growth Factor domain that is conserved and found in multiple repeats. A subset of the EGF-like domains bind calcium which provides the fibulin with structural stability. We are specifically interested in fibulin-5.
- The calcium binding EGF-like module is found in a variety of extracellular matrix proteins for example protein S, factor IX, and the fibrillin family, notch family the LDL receptor and of course the fibulin familiy . The cbEGF domain is comprised of 40 residues with three invariant disulfide bonds paired 1-3, 2-4 and 5-6 orientation. The calcium binding consensus sequence is located at the N-terminal. cbEGF domains don’t exhibit many different types of secondary structural elements, but do have several antiparallel β-sheets. Upon binding to calcium the EGF is stabilized into a rod-like conformation. Notch-1, comprising EGF-like domains 11–13
- Fibulin-5 is a 448 amino acid protein that was first characterized by Nakamura and colleagues in 1999. This intergrin binding extracellular matrix protein is found in atherosclerotic lesions and is intimately associated with elastin formation. integrins [alpha v beta 3] and [alpha v beta 5] It is made up of six EGF domains and an extended C-terminal domain. These EGF can bind calcium. RGD – Argenine-Glycine –Aspartic acid cell-adhesion motif Lp(a) interaction. C-terminal domain binds apo(a)’s KIV2 sequence.
- Structural studies of these cbEGF domains have been routinely performed on modular pairs. It has been shown that the tandemly repeated cbEGF domains are structurally stabilized in the presence of calcium. This is why we have adapted a similar strategy. to use as a tag to solubilize the C-terminal region. We have been working on elucidating the nature of calcium binding to the 5 th and 6 th EGF modules of fibulin-5. Of primary importance to this study is the expression and purification of the 5 th and 6 th EGF modules with varying lengths of the C-terminal region of Fibulin-5. Truncation were made prior to my arrival.
- There are ten truncations and we are currently working with constructs A and B. We have adopted a dissecting approach to our research. By properly purifying and refolding the smallest constructs A that contains twelve cysteins and B that contains fourteen cysteins it is our belief that the purification and refolding technique can be used for our other constructs. This methodology will allow us to determine if the calcium binding properties are a function of the 5 th and 6 th EGF modules and not of the C-terminal domain.

- Correlation spectrum. N15 on Y-axis and H1 on the X-axis. numbre of peaks not same as 87 amino acids. We thought calcium would induce a fold instead it induced oligomerization. On the left hand we have no calcium. Expect to see a well dispersed spectrum along with at least 87 different resonances corresponding to the 87 amino acids of our peptide. The clustering of peaks in the centre along with the strong intensity of peaks tells us that we have unfolded protein. Since the same refolding conditions were used as for the CD we are led to believe that the CD data is flawed. Interestingly upon titration with calcium we noticed a disappearance of peaks. This is due to the oligomerization of our protein with the addition of calcium. The line widths resonances are directly proportional to the tumbling of the molecule. If the molecule gets too big or oligomerizes the line width becomes too broad and is lost in the baseline. Disappearance of peaks due to the increased tumbling time and as a result there is a decrease in signal. Oligomerization affects peaks Not a pH thing. pH 7.0.
