Specific Sequence Motif of 8-Cys Repeats of TGF-beta Binding Proteins, LTBPs, Creates a Hydrophobic Interaction Surface for Binding of Small Latent TGF-beta

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta s are secreted in large latent complexes consisting of TGF-beta , its N-terminal latency-associated peptide (LAP) propeptide, and latent TGF-beta binding protein (LTBP). LTBPs are required for secretion and subsequent deposition of TGF-beta into the extracellular matrix. TGF-beta 1 associates with the 3rd 8-Cys repeat of LTBP-1 by LAP. All LTBPs, as well as fibrillins, contain multiple 8-Cys repeats. We analyzed the abilities of fibrillins and LTBPs to bind latent TGF-beta by their 8-Cys repeats. 8-Cys repeat was found to interact with TGF-beta 1bullet LAP by direct cysteine bridging. LTBP-1 and LTBP-3 bound efficiently all TGF-beta isoforms, LTBP-4 had a much weaker binding capacity, whereas LTBP-2 as well as fibrillins -1 and -2 were negative. A short, specific TGF-beta binding motif was identified in the TGF-beta binding 8-Cys repeats. Deletion of this motif in the 3rd 8-Cys repeat of LTBP-1 resulted in loss of TGF-beta bullet LAP binding ability, while its inclusion in non-TGF-beta binding 3rd 8-Cys repeat of LTBP-2 resulted in TGF-beta binding. Molecular modeling of the 8-Cys repeats revealed a hydrophobic interaction surface and lack of three stabilizing hydrogen bonds introduced by the TGF-beta binding motif necessary for the formation of the TGF-beta bullet LAP - 8-Cys repeat complex inside the cells.
