We have defined the homotypic interactions of fibril. lin-1 to obtain new insights into microfibril assembly. Dose-dependent saturable high affinity binding was demonstrated between N-terminal fragments, between furin processed C-terminal fragments, and between these Nand C-terminal fragments. The N terminus also interacted with a downstream fragment. A post-furin cleavage site C-terminal sequence also interacted with the N terminus' with itself and with the furin-processed fragment. No other homotypic fibrillin-1 interactions were detected. Some terminal homotypic interactions were inhibited by other terminal sequences, and were strongly calcium-dependent. Treatment of an N-terminal fragment with N-ethylmaleimide reduced homotypic binding. Microfibril-associated glycoprotein-1 inhibited N- to C-terminal interactions but not homotypic N-terminal interactions. These fibrillin-1 interactions are likely to regulate pericellular fibrillin-1 microfibril assembly.
