Yeast two-hybrid screens identify myopalladin and desmin as Z-line nebulin-binding proteins. Schematic structure of the COOH-terminal region of nebulin and its location within the sarcomere is shown based on previous immunoelectron microscopy studies (Millevoi et al. 1998). The nebulin COOH-terminal region constructs pAS2-M160-M185+Ser+SH3C and pAS2-M160-M183 identified myopalladin and desmin prey clones in yeast two-hybrid screens. Nebulin bait deletion constructs (NebΔ1–NebΔ3) allowed us to further map the myopalladin-binding region on nebulin to within the nebulin SH3 domain. The desmin-binding site on nebulin was found to be located within the nebulin M160-M183 modules. (+) and (−) denote the presence or absence of the growth of yeast colonies on SD/Trp-/Leu-/His-plates supplemented with 1.5 mM 3-AT.
