Molecular assembly, secretion, and matrix deposition of type VI collagen
Monoclonal antibodies reactive with the tissue form of type VI collagen were used to isolate the type VI collagen polypeptides from cultured fibroblasts and muscle cells. Two [35S]methionine-labeled polypeptides of 260 and 140 kD were found intracellularly, in the medium, and in the extracellular matrix of metabolically labeled cells. These polypeptides were disulfide cross-linked into very lar...
متن کاملCell adhesion to type-VI collagen.
In conclusion, we have provided experimental and theoretical evidence that the a-helical, coiledcoil domain of laminin is responsible for chain assembly and chain selectivity. None of the laminin chains appears to be designed for formation of homodimers, although these are common in many other fibrous proteins [ 111. Only selected heteroassociations are stable in laminin isoforms. The data on f...
متن کاملCollagen Type VI-Related Disorders Panel
The collagen type VI-related disorders are nowadays considered to be a continuum of overlapping phenotypes with Bethlem myopathy at the mild end and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) at the severe end. In between these phenotypes there are collagen type VI-related limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and myosclerosis myopathy. Most cases of Bethlem myopathy have autosomal dominant inherita...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Expression of Nucleocapsid Gene of Chicken Infectious Bronchitis Virus Strain Massachusetts H120
Chicken infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes severe respiratory and renal dysfunction in chickens. In the present study, we used reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to amplify the nucleocapsid (N) protein gene of strain Massachusetts (Mass) H120 of IBV that is commonly used in the vaccine production in Iran. The PCR product with the expected size of 1.2 kb was cloned in...
متن کاملRegulation of type VI collagen synthesis in transformed mesenchymal cells.
We have analysed the effects of oncogenic transformation on the expression of type VI collagen in mesenchymal cells. Synthesis of type VI collagen was almost completely inhibited in fibroblasts transformed by DNA or RNA tumour viruses or in cells derived from spontaneous mesenchymal tumours. Inhibition of type VI collagen synthesis appears, therefore, to be a common phenomenon of transformed me...
