Collagen biosynthesis is a complex process that begins with the association of three procollagen chains. A series of conserved intra-and interchain disulfide bonds in the carboxyl-terminal region of the procollagen chains, or C-propeptide, has been hypothesized to play an important role in the nucle
Procollagen (Type I) contains a noncollagenous COOH-terminal propeptide (C-propeptide) hypothesized to be important in directing chain association and alignment during assembly. We previously expressed human pro-␣2(I) cDNA in rat liver epithelial cells, W8, that produce only pro-␣1(I) trimer collage
Fibroblasts cultured from affected skin areas of five patients with cutaneous scleroderma were found to produce increased amounts of collagen when compared with nonaffected control cells. Total RNA was isolated from the cultures and analyzed for its level of proal(1)collagen mRNA by hybridization of
## Abstract The __oim__ mouse is a model of human Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) that has deficient synthesis of proα2(I) chains. Cells isolated from __oim__ mice synthesize α1(I) collagen homotrimers that accumulate in tissues. To explore the feasibility of gene therapy for OI, a murine proα2(I) cDN
