Abstract
Spider silk is a high-performance biomaterial known for its outstanding combination of strength and flexibility. Among the six distinct types of spider silk, eggcase silk stands out as it is exclusively produced from the tubuliform gland, playing a specialized role in offspring protection. In the spider species Latrodectus hesperus, eggcase silk is spun from a large spidroin complex, including the major silk component tubuliform spidroin 1 (TuSp1) and at least six different minor silk components. One of these minor components is eggcase protein 3 (ECP3), a small silk protein of 11.8 kDa that lacks the typical spidroin architecture. ECP3 shows very limited homology to all known spidroins. In this study, we report nearly complete backbone and side-chain resonance assignments of ECP3 as a basis for studying the structural mechanisms involved in eggcase silk formation.
期刊介绍：
Biomolecular NMR Assignments provides a forum for publishing sequence-specific resonance assignments for proteins and nucleic acids as Assignment Notes. Chemical shifts for NMR-active nuclei in macromolecules contain detailed information on molecular conformation and properties.
Publication of resonance assignments in Biomolecular NMR Assignments ensures that these data are deposited into a public database at BioMagResBank (BMRB; http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu/), where they are available to other researchers. Coverage includes proteins and nucleic acids; Assignment Notes are processed for rapid online publication and are published in biannual online editions in June and December.
