Non-Triple Helical Form of Type IV Collagen α1 Chain
Type IV collagen with a triple-helical structure composed of three α chains is a major component of basement membrane. Previously, we reported that non-triple helical form of type IV collagen α1 chain (NTHα1(IV)) was isolated from human placenta and the culture media of human cells. In the present study, we report on the localization of NTH α1(IV) with a monoclonal antibody #370, exclusively re...
متن کاملAn interactive triple-helical collagen builder
UNLABELLED To facilitate the building of triple-helical polypeptide structures, we provide an interactive, platform-independent Tcl/Tk script. User specified amino acid sequences are parsed to obtain localized melting temperature estimates corresponding to helical propensity. These propensities may be graphically examined prior to their automated use in combination with two separate statistical...
متن کاملFluorescence determination of tryptophan side-chain accessibility and dynamics in triple-helical collagen-like peptides.
We report tryptophan fluorescence measurements of emission intensity, iodide quenching, and anisotropy that describe the environment and dynamics at X and Y sites in stable collagen-like peptides of sequence (Gly-X-Y)(n). About 90% of tryptophans at both sites have similar solvent exposed fluorescence properties and a lifetime of 8.5-9 ns. Analysis of anisotropy decays using an associative mode...
متن کاملHydrolysis of triple-helical collagen peptide models by matrix metalloproteinases.
The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family has been implicated in the process of a variety of diseases such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, and tumor cell metastasis. To study the mechanisms of MMP action on collagenous substrates, we have constructed homotrimeric triple-helical peptide (THP) models of the collagenase cleavage sites in types I and II collagen. The THPs incorporate either the alph...
متن کاملCollagenase unwinds triple-helical collagen prior to peptide bond hydrolysis.
Breakdown of triple-helical interstitial collagens is essential in embryonic development, organ morphogenesis and tissue remodelling and repair. Aberrant collagenolysis may result in diseases such as arthritis, cancer, atherosclerosis, aneurysm and fibrosis. In vertebrates, it is initiated by collagenases belonging to the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. The three-dimensional structure of...
