Abstract

One of the most interesting elastic proteins is the muscle protein titin, which exists in the sarcomere of the muscle and plays a critical role in maintaining myofibril integrity and in passive force. Within titin, there are several types of structural elements that work synergistically to produce the various functions of the protein. Our lab has recently been focused on the N2A region, which is located in the center of the I-band region of titin. Structurally, the N2A region is comprised of four immunoglobulin domains and a unique region that consists of 117 amino acids in both ordered and disordered regions.
