## Abstract Type I collagen is composed of two α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain that together form a unique triple helical structure. The genes for these chains are located on different chromosomes but their expression is tightly regulated. In order to investigate the mechanism of regulation of coo
Adhesion to collagens by most cell types is mediated by the integrins a1b1 and a2b1. Both integrin a subunits belong to a group which is characterized by the presence of an I domain in the N-terminal half of the molecule, and this domain has been implicated in the ligand recognition. Since purified
