As described above, the calcium-binding type II EGF-like modules of fibulin-1 are used in various extracellular matrix interactions.
Fibulin-1 has been reported two exhibit calcium-dependent self-association [ 40 44 ] . The two self-association sites map to type II EGF-like modules 5 and 6 and to a cryptic site in the amino-terminal region of fibulin-1 [ 40 44 ] .
Deletion of the EGF-like domains encoded by exons 60-62 in the C-terminal domain of fibrillin-1 results in a much less severe phenotype than deletion of three EGF-like domains in the second longest stretch of EGF-like domains (between exons 43-49).
In contrast to the cases with deleted EGF-like domains, her mutant protein was unstable.
It is well established that EGF-like modules are important structural features found in many extracellular proteins and that these modules enable numerous protein :protein interactions; the binding of EGF-like modules in laminin to nidogen [ 19 ] and the interaction of EGF-like modules within fibrillin monomers [ 20 21 ] . Calcium may be required for some of these protein interactions.
