From the Fibrillin-containing microfibrils are polymeric
structures that are difficult to extract from connective tissues.
Proteolytic digestion of tissues has been utilized to release
microfibrils for study. Few of the molecules that connect microfibrils
to other elements in the matrix have been identified. In this study,
electron microscopic immunolocalization of anti-versican antibodies in tissues and in extracted microfibrils demonstrated that the C-terminal region of versican is found associated with fibrillin microfibrils. Extraction of microfibrils followed by treatment of microfibrils under
dissociating conditions suggested that the versican C terminus is
covalently bound to microfibrils. Binding assays using recombinant fibrillin-1 polypeptides and recombinant lectican lectin domains indicated that the versican lectin domain binds to specific fibrillin-1 polypeptides. The versican lectin domain also bound to molecules comigrating with authentic fibrillin-1 monomers in an assay using cell
culture medium. In assays using microfibrils, the versican lectin
domain demonstrated preferential binding compared with other lecticans.
Binding was calcium-dependent. The binding site for
versican in microfibrils is most likely within a region of fibrillin-1
between calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like domains 11 and 21. Human mutations in this region can result in severe forms of the Marfan
syndrome ("neonatal" Marfan syndrome). The connection between
versican and fibrillin microfibrils may be functionally significant,
particularly in cardiovascular tissues.
