Translatable mRNA for GP140 (a subunit of type VI collagen) is absent in SV40 transformed fibroblasts
Production of GP140, a major component of the extracellular matrix of cultured fibroblasts, is markedly decreased in SV40 transformed cells as compared with normal cells (Carter, W. G., 1982, J. Biol. Chem., 257:13805-13815). To determine at what step the biosynthesis is inhibited, we compared the levels of functional mRNA for GP140 in normal and transformed fibroblasts. Translation of total RN...
متن کاملSerum endotrophin, a type VI collagen cleavage product, is associated with increased mortality in chronic kidney disease
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and early mortality. The underlying pathophysiological processes are not entirely understood but may include dysregulation of extracellular matrix formation with accelerated systemic and renal fibrosis. We assessed the relationship between endotrophin (ETP), a marker of collagen type VI...
متن کاملCell adhesion to type-VI collagen.
In conclusion, we have provided experimental and theoretical evidence that the a-helical, coiledcoil domain of laminin is responsible for chain assembly and chain selectivity. None of the laminin chains appears to be designed for formation of homodimers, although these are common in many other fibrous proteins [ 111. Only selected heteroassociations are stable in laminin isoforms. The data on f...
متن کاملCollagen Type VI-Related Disorders Panel
The collagen type VI-related disorders are nowadays considered to be a continuum of overlapping phenotypes with Bethlem myopathy at the mild end and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) at the severe end. In between these phenotypes there are collagen type VI-related limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and myosclerosis myopathy. Most cases of Bethlem myopathy have autosomal dominant inherita...
متن کاملA type VI collagen-related glycopolypeptide is the major concanavalin A-binding component in pig skin.
The major concanavalin A-binding component in urea/deoxycholate/mercaptoethanol extracts of pig skin was a collagenous disulphide-cross-linked glycopolypeptide with an apparent molecular mass of 150 kDa and a pI of 5.5. Antiserum against the electrophoretically purified glycopolypeptide gave strong dermal staining similar to that seen with fluorescent concanavalin A. Immunocytochemical labellin...
