PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a N terminal I band forming the elastic part end
	a PEVK (pro-Glu-Val-Lys) rich region
	five regions of tandem repeats of the Ig type, binding to ACTA1
	a N2A domain, putative binding site for CAPN3
	the A band acting as a protein ruber containing a mixture of Ig and FBN repeats and possessing kinase activity

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to murine Ttn

FAMILY	protein kinase superfamily
	CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
text	giant sarcomeric protein, extending from the Z line to the M line of striated muscle sarcomere, myofibrils

basic FUNCTION	essential in the temporal and spatial control of the assembly of the highly ordered sarcomeres of striated muscles
	responsible for the elasticity of relaxed striated muscle
	playing a CAPN3-dependent role through the N2A domain in the dynamics of muscle contraction
	in striated muscle, titin provides elasticity and support functions for the sarcomere
	titin filaments play important roles in sarcomere assembly, stability, and passive tension, as well as in stretch sensing, protein turnover, and gene regulation through interactions with other proteins including ACTN1
	transient TTN-calcium interaction may serve a protective function in muscle, which could preclude costly unfolding of select domains when muscles elongate to great lengths
	determinant of a resting tension of the sarcomere and crucial role in diastolic function

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

complex between the muscle proteins titin and telethonin forms a highly directed molecular bond

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	calmodulin binding
	obscurin
	interacting with CAPN3, through N2A domain
	interacting with ACTN1 (through N-terminal domains of titin to provide a structural linkage crucial for the integrity of the sarcomere)
	interacting with TCAP (anchored in the Z-disk by telethonin, TCAP)
	head-to-tail interaction of the C-terminus of titin and the N-terminus of obscurin-like-1(OBSL1)
	RBM20, a gene for hereditary cardiomyopathy, regulates titin splicing
	FHL1 as a novel negative regulator of titin N2B levels and phosphorylation-mediated mechanics
	titin can be phosphoryalated by CAMK2D, and titin molecular spring region that determines diastolic stiffness is a target of CAMK2D

Susceptibility

to autoimmune scleroderma (antibodies in patients) to autoimmune form of rippling muscle disease with myasthenia gravis (ARMD) to atrial fibrillation (AF)

Variant & Polymorphism other	specific reaction of ARMD patient sera with the titin domain portion of the fusion protein GST-RMMG6

Candidate gene	strong biological candidate gene at the 2q31 locus for atrial fibrillation because of its role in maintaining the structural integrity of the sarcomere and its involvement in muscle elasticity and force transmission
