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
## Abstract The amino‐terminal telopeptide of the collagen α1(I) chain has a highly conserved sequence. This sequence was analyzed by the Chou‐Fasman criteria, and a folded β‐sheet conformation, including a β‐turn, was predicted. This folded “hairpin” region favors both ionic and hydrophobic interm
To determine if some individuals with deforming varieties of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) carry point mutations in the COL1A2 gene of type-I collagen, we examined collagens synthesized by cell strains from affected individuals for the presence of cysteine in the triple helical domain of the alpha 2
