Type V collagen was prepared from human amnionic/chorionic membranes and separated into alpha 1(V) and alpha 2(V) polypeptide chains. The alpha 1(V) chain was digested with cyanogen bromide and nine peptides were obtained and purified. Three of the peptides, alpha 1(V)CB1, CB4, and CB7 having molecular weights of 5000, 8000, and 6000, respectively, were further analyzed by amino acid sequence analysis and thermolytic or tryptic digestions. CB1 contained 54 amino acids and identification of its complete sequence was aided by thermolysin digestion and isolation of two peptides, Th1 and Th2. CB4 contained 81 amino acids and sequence analysis of intact CB4 and five tryptic peptides provided us with its complete amino acid sequence. The peptide CB7 contained 67 amino acids and was cleaved into four tryptic peptides that were used for complete sequence analysis. The above results represent the first available covalent structure information on the alpha 1(V) collagen chain. These data enabled us to establish the location of these peptides within the helical structure of other collagen chains. CB4 was homologous to residues 66-145 in the collagen chain while CB1 represented residues 146-200 and CB7 was homologous with residues 201-269. This alignment was facilitated by identification of a helical collagen crossing site consisting of Hyl-Gly-His-Arg located at positions 87-90 in all collagen chains of this size thus far identified. Seventy-one percent homology (excluding Gly residues) was found between amino acids in this region of the alpha 1(XI) and of alpha 1(V) collagen chains while only 21 and 19% identity was calculated for the same region of alpha 2(V) and alpha 1(I) collagen chains, respectively. 相似文献

Three collagen fractions, each of which contain molecules composed of alpha 1(II) chains, have been isolated from pepsin-solubilized rat chondrosarcoma collagen. One fraction could be selectively precipitated from the pepsin digest at 0.7 M NaCl. Two additional fractions were obtained on chromatography of the collagen precipitating at 1.2 M NaCl on carboxymethyl cellulose under nondenaturing conditions. When chromatographed on carboxymethyl cellulose under denaturing conditions, each fraction contained components eluting in the position expected for alpha 1(II) chains. One of the fractions precipitating at 1.2 M NaCl contained the recently described 1 alpha and 2 alpha chains in addition to material eluting as alpha 1(II) chains. Comparison of the chains eluting as alpha 1(II) chains in the various fractions with respect to amino acid composition, carbohydrate content, and cyanogen bromide-cleavage products showed that they differed only in the number of glycosylated hydroxylysyl residues. In this regard, alpha 1(II) chains obtained from collagens precipitated at 1.2 M NaCl exhibited significantly higher levels of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysyl residues than alpha 1(II) chains precipitated at 0.7 M NaCl. These results indicate that molecules composed of alpha 1(II) chains are heterogeneous with respect to levels of hydroxylysine-linked carbohydrate moieties and that the more highly glycosylated molecules require higher salt concentrations for precipitation from acidic solutions. The data also indicate that a proportion of the more highly glycosylated alpha 1(II) chains are involved in the formation of one or more molecular species with 1 alpha and 2 alpha chains. 相似文献

Identification of the cartilage alpha 1(XI) chain in type V collagen from bovine bone 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Type V collagen prepared from bovine bone was resolved into three distinct alpha-chains by high performance liquid chromatography and gel electrophoresis. Peptide mapping established two chains as alpha 1(V) and alpha 2(V) as expected and the third as the cartilage alpha 1(XI) chain (previously thought to be unique to cartilage). In adult bone, the type V collagen fraction was richer in alpha 1(XI) chains than in fetal bone (about 1/3 of the chains in the adult). How these polypeptides are organized into native molecules is not yet clear, though the stoichiometry suggests cross-type heterotrimers between the type V and XI chains. 相似文献

Collagen VIII is an extracellular matrix macromolecule comprising two polypeptide chains, alpha1(VIII) and alpha2(VIII), that can form homotrimers in vitro and in vivo. Here, recombinant collagen VIII was expressed to study its supramolecular assembly following secretion. Cells transfected with alpha1(VIII) or alpha2(VIII) assembled and secreted homotrimers that were stable in denaturing conditions and had a molecular mass of approximately 180 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. Co-transfection with prolyl 4-hydroxylase generated homotrimers with stable pepsin-resistant triple-helical domains. Size fractionation of native recombinant collagen VIII molecules expressed with or without prolyl 4-hydroxylase identified urea-sensitive high molecular mass assemblies eluting in the void volume of a Superose 6HR 10/30 column and urea-resistant assemblies of approximately 700 kDa, all of which were composed of homotrimers. Immunofluorescence analysis highlighted the extracellular deposition of recombinant alpha1(VIII)(3), alpha2(VIII)(3), and co-expressed alpha1(VIII)(3)/alpha2(VIII)(3). Microscopy analysis of recombinant collagen VIII identified rod-like molecules of 134 nm in length that assembled into angular arrays with branching angles of approximately 114 degrees and extensive networks. Based on these data, we propose a model of collagen VIII assembly in which four homotrimers form a tetrahedron stabilized by central interacting C-terminal NC1 trimers. Tetrahedrons may then act as building blocks of three-dimensional hexagonal lattices generated by secondary interactions involving terminal and helical sequences. 相似文献

Molecular mechanisms controlling the assembly of cartilage-specific types II, IX and XI collagens into a heteropolymeric network of uniformly thin, unbanded fibrils are not well understood, but collagen XI has been implicated. The present study on cartilage from the homozygous chondrodysplasia (cho/cho) mouse adds support to this concept. In the absence of alpha1(XI) collagen chains, thick, banded collagen fibrils are formed in the extracellular matrix of cho/cho cartilage. A functional knock-out of the type XI collagen molecule has been assumed. We have re-examined this at the protein level to see if, rather than a complete knock-out, alternative type XI chain assemblies were formed. Mass spectrometry of purified triple-helical collagen from the rib cartilage of cho/cho mice identified alpha1(V) and alpha2(XI) chains. These chains were recovered in roughly equal amounts based on Coomassie Blue staining of SDS-PAGE gels, in addition to alpha1(II)/alpha3(XI) collagen chains. Using telopeptide-specific antibodies and Western blot analysis, it was further shown that type V/XI trimers were present in the matrix cross-linked to each other and to type II collagen molecules to form heteropolymers. Cartilage from heterozygous (cho/+) mice contained a mix of alpha1(V) and alpha1(XI) chains and a mix of thin and thick fibrils on transmission electron microscopy. In summary, the results imply that native type XI collagen molecules containing an alpha1(XI) chain are required to form uniformly thin fibrils and support a role for type XI collagen as the template for the characteristic type II collagen fibril network of developing cartilage. 相似文献

The alpha 1 alpha 2 alpha 3-chain form of human type V collagen was solubilized from placenta by pepsin treatment and isolated by ion-exchange chromatography. The alpha 3-chain was further separated after denaturation of the triple helix also by ion-exchange chromatography, cleaved with lysyl endopeptidase and the fragments separated by size-exclusion chromatography and reversed phase HPLC. N-Terminal sequence analysis of the fragments and comparison to sequences contained in a database indicated a relatively high similarity of the alpha 3(V)-chain to alpha 1(V) and alpha 1(XI) with an identity of approximately 73%. 相似文献

Several cDNA clones, encoding prepropeptide of human collagen alpha 1(V) chain, have been isolated. The prepropeptide (1838 amino acids length) of the alpha 1(V) chain was composed of a putative signal peptide, a large NH2-terminal noncollagenous region, a main collagenous region, and a COOH-terminal noncollagenous region. The signal peptide contained many leucine residues. The NH2-terminal noncollagenous region was much larger than those of the other collagens and had a region homologous to the COOH-terminal domain of laminin A chain, but it did not contain a cysteine-rich region that was maintained in the region of the other collagens. This region also contained probable tyrosine sulfation sites, and short collagenous sequences that were interrupted by three noncollagenous segments. The main collagenous region of the alpha 1(V) chain consisted of 338 repeats of Gly-X-Y-triplet. This region had a high degree (82%) of homology with the amino acids of the collagen alpha 1(XI) chain. The COOH-terminal noncollagenous region resembled that of the alpha 1(XI) chain, too, and 8 residues of cysteine that were important for the formation of the triple helix structure of collagens were observed. These results suggest that the alpha 1(V) chain belongs to the fibrillar collagen relative to the alpha 1(XI) chain, but codon usage of the alpha 1(V) cDNA was clearly different from those of the other fibrillar collagens including the alpha 1(XI), while it was similar to type IV collagen. This result supposes a different evolution of the alpha 1(V) gene from those of the other fibrillar collagens. 相似文献

Human cDNA libraries were screened with a cDNA fragment presumably encoding the 3' terminus of a procollagen carboxyl propeptide not identifiable as types I, II, III, or IV by protein sequence or Northern blot hybridization. One clone contained a 1350-base pair insert coding in part for 55 uninterrupted Gly-X-Y triplets. Comparison with the amino acid composition of the COOH-terminal cyanogen bromide (CB) peptides of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 type V collagen chains showed similarity only to the alpha 2(V)CB fragment. To identify the NH2 terminus of the peptide designated by methionine, an additional isolate was sequenced and found to contain a Gly-Met-Pro triplet. Thirty-one amino acids from the NH2 terminus of the alpha 2(V)CB9 fragment were then determined by Edman degradation and found to be identical to those derived from the cDNA clone. The DNA sequence encoding part of the triple helical region establishes for the first time the partial structure of a type V collagen chain. Although comparison of residues 796-1020 of the alpha 2(V) collagenous region with alpha 1 (III), alpha 1(I), and alpha 2(I) shows strong conservation of charged positions, the latter three chains appear considerably more similar to each other than to alpha 2(V). A striking feature of the alpha 2(V) sequence between 918-944 is the absence of proline residues. In the analogous region of alpha 1(I) where this amino acid is also lacking, a flexible site in the rigid triple helical structure of type I collagen has been observed (Hofmann, H., Voss, T., Kuhn, K. and Engel, J. (1984) J. Mol. Biol. 172, 325-343). 相似文献

Concerted modulation of alpha 1(XI) and alpha 2(V) collagen mRNAs in bovine vascular smooth muscle cells. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have isolated a partial cDNA for alpha 1(XI) collagen from a bovine smooth muscle cell (SMC) library. Previously, this collagen was not known to be expressed in SMCs. Comparison of the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence of the 2.7-kilobase bovine clone and the human alpha 1(XI) sequence indicates 92 and 98% homology, respectively. Bovine SMCs in culture were found to produce alpha 1(XI) mRNA. However, alpha 2(XI) and alpha 1(II) collagen RNA were not detectable; therefore, SMCs cannot synthesize the same type XI collagen as found in cartilage. Since type XI collagen is structurally related to type V collagen, the expression of alpha 1(XI) and alpha 2(V) collagen mRNA in SMCs was characterized. Levels of alpha 1(XI) and alpha 2(V) collagen mRNAs were low in exponentially growing SMCs and increased 3-4-fold as cells became confluent. Increased mRNA levels were also observed when exponentially growing subconfluent SMCs were incubated in medium containing 0.5% fetal bovine serum for 24 h, similar to the effects of serum deprivation on the expression of types I and III collagen genes (Kindy, M. S., Chang, C.-J., and Sonenshein, G. E. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 11426-11430). However, as cell density increased, serum deprivation resulted in very different responses for these collagen genes. Serum deprivation caused a decrease in expression of alpha 1(XI) and alpha 2(V) collagen mRNAs in cultures as they approached confluence. In contrast, at confluence alpha 1(I) and alpha 2(I) mRNA levels no longer responded to serum concentration whereas expression of alpha 1(III) mRNA remained inducible by serum deprivation. These results suggest concerted regulation of alpha 1(XI) and alpha 2(V) collagen gene expression, which is distinct from that for the chains of type I and type III collagen with respect to cell density and serum. 相似文献

Type V collagen is a quantitatively minor fibrillar collagen comprised of different chain compositions in different tissues. The most widely distributed form, an alpha1(V)2alpha2(V) heterotrimer, regulates the physical properties of type I/V heterotypic collagen fibrils via partially processed NH2-terminal globular sequences. A less characterized alpha1(V)alpha2(V)alpha3(V) heterotrimer has a much more limited distribution of expression and unknown function(s). We characterized the biosynthetic processing of pro-alpha1(V)2pro-alpha2(V) procollagen previously and showed it to differ in important ways from biosynthetic processing of the major fibrillar procollagens I-III. Here we have successfully produced recombinant pro-alpha1(V)pro-alpha2(V)pro-alpha3(V) heterotrimers. We use these, and mouse embryo fibroblasts doubly homozygous null for the Bmp1 gene, which encodes the metalloproteinase bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1), and for a gene encoding the closely related metalloproteinase mammalian Tolloid-like 1, to characterize biosynthetic processing of pro-alpha1(V)pro-alpha2(V)pro-alpha3(V) heterotrimers, thus completing characterization of type V collagen biosynthetic processing. Whereas pro-alpha1(V) and pro-alpha2(V) processing in pro-alpha1(V)pro-alpha2(V)pro-alpha3(V) heterotrimers is similar to that which occurs in pro-alpha1(V)2pro-alpha2(V) heterotrimers, the processing of pro-alpha3(V) by BMP-1 occurs at an unexpected site within NH2-terminal globular sequences. We also demonstrate that, despite similarities in NH2-terminal domain structures, pro-alpha2(V) NH2-terminal globular sequences are not cleaved by ADAMTS-2, the metalloproteinase that cleaves the N-propeptides of the major fibrillar procollagen chains. 相似文献

Three distinctive heparin-binding sites were observed in type IV collagen by the use of rotary shadowing: in the NC1 domain and at distances 100 and 300 nm from the NC1 domain. Scatchard analysis indicated different affinities for these sites. Electron microscopic analysis of heparin-type IV collagen interaction with increasing salt concentrations showed the different affinities to be NC1 greater than 100 nm greater than 300 nm. The NC1 domain bound specifically to chondroitin/dermatan sulfate side chains as well. This binding was observed at the electron microscope and in solid-phase binding assays (where chondroitin sulfate could compete for the binding of [3H]heparin to NC1-coated substrata). The triple helix-rich, rod-like domain of type IV collagen did not bind to chondroitin/dermatan sulfate side chains. In solid-phase binding assays only heparin could compete for the binding of [3H]heparin to this domain. In order to more precisely map potential heparin-binding sites in type IV collagen, we chemically synthesized 17 arginine- and lysine-containing peptides from the alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV) chains. Three peptides from the known sequence of the alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV) chains were shown to specifically bind heparin: peptide Hep-I (TAGSCLRKFSTM), from the alpha 1(NC1) chain, peptide Hep-II (LAGSCLARFSTM), a peptide corresponding to the same sequence in peptide Hep-I from the alpha 2 (NC1) chain, and peptide Hep-III (GEFYFDLRLKGDK) which contained an interruption of the triple helical sequence of the alpha 1(IV) chain at about 300 nm from the NC1 domain, were demonstrated to bind heparin in solid-phase binding assays and compete for the binding of [3H]heparin to type IV collagen-coated substrata. Therefore, each of these peptides may represent a potential heparin-binding site in type IV collagen. The mapping of the binding of heparin or related structures, such as heparan sulfate proteoglycan, to specific sequences of type IV collagen could help the understanding of several structural and functional properties of this basement membrane protein as well as interactions with other basement membrane and/or cell surface-associated macromolecules. 相似文献

The biosynthesis of type V collagen and its regulation were studied using diploid human gingival fibroblasts. Cells were metabolically labeled with radioactive amino acids and labeled proteins were subjected to limited pepsin digestion, DEAE-cellulose chromatography at 15 degrees C, and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins eluted from DEAE-cellulose columns by 0.25 M NaCl contained a collagen species which was resistant to mammalian collagenase and had alpha chains with hydroxylysine/lysine ratios and CNBr peptide patterns similar to alpha 1(V) and alpha 2(V). Procollagen(V) fractions obtained by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and immunoprecipitates of type V collagen antibody contained polypeptides with Mr = 239,000, 219,000, 198,000, 174,000, 157,000, and 132,000. By comparing the CNBr peptide maps of these proteins with those of standard alpha 1(V) and alpha 2(V) chains, the first three polypeptides were shown to be related to alpha 1(V) and the others to alpha 2(V). It was concluded that the gingival fibroblasts synthesize type V collagen, that the pro alpha 1(V) and the pro alpha 2(V) chains have Mr = 239,000 and 174,000, respectively, and that the alpha 1(V) and alpha 2(V) chains laid in the form of fibrils have Mr = 198,000 and 132,000, respectively. A detectable amount of type V collagen was synthesized only at high cell density, and it was associated with the cell layer. The amount and proportion of type V synthesized were increased when the cells were labeled in the presence of serum, and the increase was accompanied by a decrease in type III. This effect was dependent on serum concentration. Serum obtained from platelet-poor plasma failed to elicit this effect, and it was restored by the addition of platelet-derived growth factor. Platelet-derived growth factor was effective in medium with and without platelet-poor serum. Thus, it appears that platelet-derived growth factor may be an important regulatory factor in the synthesis of types V and III collagens. 相似文献

Radioactive labeling of p-collagens V, collagens V, and, to a small extent, of procollagen V occurred when [35S]sulfate was incubated with tendons or primary tendon cell cultures, or blood vessels and crops of 17- to 19-day-old chick embryos, or with lung slices from neonatal rats. Most or all of this label is in the form of 1 or more sulfated tyrosine residues/chain of p alpha 1(V), alpha 1(V), p alpha 1'(V), alpha 1'(V), p alpha 2(V), and alpha 2(V), and it remains attached through purification by dialysis, ammonium sulfate precipitation, CsCl-GdnCl2 equilibrium buoyant density and velocity sedimentations, ion-exchange chromatography, and sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis. Radioactive tyrosine sulfate was identified in alkaline hydrolysates of these collagen V chains, after labeling the tissues with either [35S]sulfate or [3H]tyrosine, by electrophoretic and chromatographic comigration with a tyrosine sulfate standard. Tunicamycin A1, which inhibits the attachment of N-linked complex carbohydrate, did not interfere with the sulfation process. The tyrosine sulfate is located in a noncollagenous domain, which is probably adjacent to the amino end of the collagen helix, and is retained throughout the physiological proteolytic processing of procollagens V. After digestion with Staphylococcus aureus V8 protease, 35S-labeled p alpha 1(V) and alpha 1(V) chains gave the same map of labeled peptides, and this differed from the map given by p alpha 1'(V) and alpha 1'(V) chains. Little sulfation of p alpha 2(V) and alpha 2(V) chains occurs. The implications of these observations for the structure and properties of procollagens V and their derivatives are considered. 相似文献

High levels of expression of full length human pro-alpha 2(V) collagen cDNA in pro-alpha 2(V)-deficient hamster cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A full length cDNA encoding human pro-alpha 2(V) collagen was constructed. Partial sequencing of the cDNA and primer extension analysis of mRNA from fibroblasts found that pro-alpha 2(V) mRNA differs from the mRNAs of other fibrillar collagens in the increased length of its 5'-untranslated region. The pro-alpha 2(V) cDNA was placed downstream of the human cytomegalovirus immediate early promoter/regulatory sequences for expression studies in cultured Chinese hamster lung cells. These cells have been shown previously to synthesize large quantities of pro-alpha 1(V) homotrimers as their only collagenous product. Transfection resulted in a number of clonal cell lines that express human alpha 2(V) RNA at levels comparable to, and in some cases greater than, levels found in normal human skin fibroblasts. Pro-alpha 2(V) chains produced in the majority of clonal lines were of sufficient quantity to complex all available endogenous pro-alpha 1(V) chains. Chimeric heterotrimers, composed of hamster alpha 1(V) and human alpha 2(V) chains in a 2:1 ratio, were stable to pepsin digestion and were found predominantly associated with the cell layer. Surprisingly, pro-alpha 2(V) chains, in excess to pro-alpha 1(V) chains, were found in the extracellular matrix and, in much greater abundance, in media. These chains were pepsin sensitive, indicating that pro-alpha 2(V) chains can be secreted as nonstable homotrimers or as free chains. 相似文献

The COOH-terminal non-collagenous domains (NC1) of type IV collagen from glomerular basement membranes (GBM), lens capsule basement membranes, and Descemet's membrane varied in the distribution of their NC1 subunits. All of these basement membranes (BMs) contained both classical (alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV)) and novel collagen chains (alpha 3(IV), alpha 4(IV) and the Alport antigen). Whereas GBM had a predominance of disulfide-bonded subunits, the lens capsule and Descemet's membrane were primarily monomeric, differences that are likely related to the functional and structural diversity of collagen in various tissues. A heterodimer formed from monomeric subunits of alpha 3(IV) and the Alport antigen exists in human and bovine GBM. This dimer represents an important cross-link of the NC1 domain of novel collagen. Additionally, immunoaffinity methodology showed that the novel BM collagen hexamers segregate into populations containing only novel BM subunits without the participation of the classical subunits (alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV)). These data provided evidence for the presence of two separate networks of BM collagen: one containing alpha 1(IV) and alpha 2(IV), and the other consisting of the novel collagen chains. 相似文献

The collagenous protein synthesized by cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells and present in the culture medium has been isolated after limited pepsin digestion and differential salt precipitation. Molecular size analysis of this material indicates that the CHL cell medium collagen contains chains which exhibit an apparent molecular mass of approximately 85,000 Da. When chromatographed on CM-cellulose under denaturing conditions, the reduced and alkylated CHL cell medium collagen chains elute slightly after the human alpha1(I) chain but well before the pepsin-derived alpha1(V) chain, which is the constituent chain present in the CHL cell cellular matrix collagen. Analysis of the peptides derived by CNBr cleavage of the CHL medium collagen chains by chromatography on CM-cellulose reveals, however, that these chains contain peptides which correspond both in size and in chemical properties to those derived from the alpha1(V) collagen chain, but clearly lack two peptides (alpha1(V)-CB4 and alpha1(V)-CB5) which are normally present in pepsin-derived alpha1(V) chains. Furthermore, analysis of the CHL cell culture medium collagenous material obtained without pepsin digestion indicates the presence of collagenous chains that exhibit after reduction a molecular mass of approximately 160,000 Da, which is smaller than the proposed size of the pro alpha1(V) collagen chain. These results demonstrate that the collagenous protein present in the culture medium of CHL cells is directly related at the primary structural level to the alpha1(V) collagen chain, and it is postulated that this material represents the large fragment derived from a collagenase cleavage of the [pro alpha1(V)]3 molecules present in the cell layer. Furthermore, these results and previous reports indicate that the only identifiable genetic type of procollagen chain synthesized by this cloned cell line in culture corresponds to the pro alpha1(V) chain. 相似文献

The thermal triple helix to coil transitions of two human type V collagens (alpha 1(2) alpha 2 and alpha 1 alpha 2 alpha 3) and bovine type XI collagen differ from those of the interstitial collagens type I, II, and III by the presence of unfolding intermediates. The total transition enthalpy of these collagens is comparable to the transition enthalpy of the interstitial collagens with values of 17.9 kJ/mol tripeptide units for type XI collagen, 22.9 kJ/mol for type V (alpha 1(2) alpha 2), and 18.5 kJ/mol for type V (alpha 1 alpha 2 alpha 3). It is shown by optical rotatory dispersion and differential scanning calorimetry that complex transition curves with stable intermediates exist. Type XI collagen has two main transitions at 38.5 and 41.5 degrees C and a smaller transition at 40.1 degrees C. Type V (alpha 1(2) alpha 2) shows two main transitions at 38.2 and 42.9 degrees C and two smaller transitions at 40.1 and 41.3 degrees C. Compared to these two collagens type V (alpha 1 alpha 2 alpha 3) unfolds at a lower temperature with two main transitions at 36.4 and 38.1 degrees C and two minor transitions at 40.5 and 42.9 degrees C. The intermediates present at different temperatures are characterized by resistance to trypsin digestion, length measurements of the resistant fragments after rotary shadowing, and amino-terminal sequencing. One of the intermediate peptides has been identified as belonging to the alpha 2 type V chain, starting at position 430 and being about 380 residues long. (The residue numbering begins with the first residue of the first amino-terminal tripeptide unit of the main triple helix. The alpha 2(XI) chain was assumed to be the same length as the alpha 1(XI). One intermediate was identified from the alpha 2(XI) chain and with starting position at residue 495, and three from the alpha 3(XI) with starting positions at residues 519, 585, and 618. 相似文献

The alpha 2 beta 1 integrin cell surface collagen receptor binds to the alpha 1 (I)-CB3 peptide of collagen 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
W D Staatz J J Walsh T Pexton S A Santoro 《The Journal of biological chemistry》1990,265(9):4778-4781
We have previously shown that platelets adhere to collagen substrates via a Mg2(+)-dependent mechanism mediated by the surface glycoprotein Ia-IIa (human leukocyte very late activation protein 2, alpha 2 beta 1 integrin) complex. The adhesion is specific for collagen and is supported by collagen types I, II, III, IV, and VI. Several other members of the integrin family of adhesive protein receptors recognize discrete linear amino acid sequences within their adhesive glycoprotein ligands. Experiments with both intact platelets and with liposomes containing the purified receptor complex indicated that the alpha 2 beta 1 receptor recognized denatured type I collagen in a Mg2(+)-dependent manner. To further localize the binding site, the alpha 1 and alpha 2 chains of type I collagen were purified by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography and tested as adhesive substrates. Both the alpha 1(I) and alpha 2(I) chains effectively supported Mg2(+)-dependent platelet adhesion. The purified alpha 1(I) collagen chain was then subjected to cleavage with cyanogen bromide, and the resultant peptides were separated by chromatography on carboxymethylcellulose. Only the alpha 1(I)-CB3 fragment supported Mg2(+)-dependent platelet adhesion. The monoclonal antibody P1H5 which recognizes an epitope on the alpha 2 subunit of the integrin receptor and which inhibits the adhesion of both intact platelets and liposomes bearing the purified receptor to collagen also inhibited platelet adhesion to the alpha 1(I)-CB3 fragment. These results indicate that the alpha 2 beta 1 receptor recognizes a sequence of amino acids present in the alpha 1(I)-CB3 fragment of type I collagen. An identical or similar sequence likely mediates binding of the receptor to other collagen polypeptides. 相似文献
