D-periodic distribution of collagen type IX along cartilage fibrils
It has recently become apparent that collagen fibrils may be composed of more than one kind of macromolecule. To explore this possibility, we developed a procedure to purify fibril fragments from 17-d embryonic chicken sternal cartilage. The fibril population obtained shows, after negative staining, a uniformity in the banding pattern and diameter similar to the fibrils in situ. Pepsin digestio...
متن کاملType VI collagen in extracellular, 100-nm periodic filaments and fibrils: identification by immunoelectron microscopy
Filaments and fibrils that exhibit a 100-nm axial periodicity and occur in the medium and in the deposited extracellular matrix of chicken embryo and human fibroblast cultures have been tentatively identified with type VI collagen on the basis of their similar structural characteristics (Bruns, R. R., 1984, J. Ultrastruct. Res., 89:136-145). Using indirect immunoelectron microscopy and specific...
متن کاملType VI collagen bound to collagen fibrils by chondroitin/dermatan sulfate glycosaminoglycan in mouse corneal stroma.
We investigated the ultrastructural localization of type VI collagen in mouse corneal stroma and its relationship to striated collagen fibrils and glycosaminoglycans, using chondroitinase ABC digestion and immunoelectron microscopy with colloidal gold particles. After chondroitinase ABC digestion, the arrangement of striated collagen fibrils was disrupted, and large spaces containing widely sca...
متن کاملTensile Strength of Single Collagen Fibrils Isolated from Tendons
Tensile failure properties of single collagen fibrils were determined using our original tensile test method. Fibrils were directly isolated from the fascicles of mouse tail tendons. Both the ends of each fibril were wound onto the tips of two microneedles several times using micromanipulators. The fibril and tips were immersed in physiological saline solution. Then, the fibril was stretched to...
متن کاملNanomechanical mapping of hydrated rat tail tendon collagen I fibrils.
Collagen fibrils play an important role in the human body, providing tensile strength to connective tissues. These fibrils are characterized by a banding pattern with a D-period of 67 nm. The proposed origin of the D-period is the internal staggering of tropocollagen molecules within the fibril, leading to gap and overlap regions and a corresponding periodic density fluctuation. Using an atomic...
