Biophotonics of Native Silk Fibrils.
Native silk fibroin (NSF) is a unique biomaterial with extraordinary mechanical and biochemical properties. These key characteristics are directly associated with the physical transformation of unstructured, soluble NSF into highly organized nano- and microscale fibrils rich in β-sheet content. Here, it is shown that this NSF fibrillation process is accompanied by the development of intrinsic f...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of native fibronectin fibrils
Fibronectin fibrils within the extracellular matrix play central roles in physiological and pathological processes, yet many structural details about their hierarchical and molecular assembly remain unknown. Here we combine site-specific protein labelling with single-molecule localization by stepwise photobleaching or direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM), and determine t...
متن کاملConnectin Mediates Adhesion in Drosophila
The Drosophila cell-surface molecule connectin mediates cell-cell adhesion in vitro, and its expression pattern in vivo fits well with an adhesion role in the embryonic neuromuscular system. However, connectin mutants do not show dramatic neuromuscular defects, and ectopic expression studies so far have not supported an adhesion role. Here, we demonstrate that connectin mutants do have a phenot...
متن کاملEffects of photochemical riboflavin-mediated crosslinks on the physical properties of collagen constructs and fibrils
The use of collagen scaffold in tissue engineering is on the rise, as modifications to mechanical properties are becoming more effective in strengthening constructs whilst preserving the natural biocompatibility. The combined technique of plastic compression and cross-linking is known to increase the mechanical strength of the collagen construct. Here, a modified protocol for engineering these ...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of collagen crosslinks: increased activity of purified lysyl oxidase with reconstituted collagen fibrils.
Lysyl oxidase catalyzes the formation of crosslinking aldehydes in collagen and elastin. This report demonstrates that the enzyme has high activity with collagen precipitated as native fibrils, an apparent K(m) of 0.95 muM, and low activity toward either soluble forms such as denatured collagen, isolated alpha chain, or isolated alpha1-CBl peptide, or precipitated collagen fibrils after pepsin ...
