Figure 1. Myopalladin (MYPN) directly binds to titin in the Z-line.
(A) Yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) assay showing binding of the C-terminal region of MYPN and its homologue palladin (PALLD) to the titin Ig domains Z4-Z5 (titin Ig Z4-Z5) in the Z-line. A culture plate with different combinations of Y2H co-transformations is shown as indicated in the table. (B) Microscale thermophoresis (MST) analysis of 450 nM labeled titin Ig Z4-Z5 incubated with increasing concentrations of MYPN and PALLD C-terminal domains. Due to precipitation, signal saturation was not reached. The dose/response curve is representative of two independent experiments (n = 17 and n = 16 runs). Fnorm, normalized fluorescence. (C) MST analysis of 400 nM labeled MYPN C-terminal domain incubated with increasing concentrations of titin Ig Z4-Z5. The dose/response curve is representative of four independent experiments (n = 7 runs).
