Journal ArticleDOI
A Network Model for the Organization of Type IV Collagen Molecules in Basement Membranes
TL;DR: Data indicate that the collagenous matrix of basement membranes consists of a regular network of type IV collagen molecules which is generated by two different interacting sites located at opposite ends of each molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basement membrane (type IV) collagen
TL;DR: The macromolecular network of collagen IV, which provides the scaffold for basement membranes, the molecules are attached and cross-linked via their like end-regions and they interact laterally with their triple-helical domains in a not yet fully understood manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of flexible sites in thread-like molecules from electron micrographs. Comparison of interstitial, basement membrane and intima collagens.
TL;DR: In this article, a method for detecting kinks and flexible sites in thread-like molecules was developed based on the determination of the local curvature along the digitized electron micrographs of the molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a type IV collagen major cell binding site with affinity to the alpha 1 beta 1 and the alpha 2 beta 1 integrins.
TL;DR: The aim of this investigation was to identify the domains of type IV collagen participating in cell binding and the cell surface receptor involved, and a major cell binding site was found in the trimeric cyanogen bromide-derived fragment CB3, in which the triple-helical conformation is stabilized by interchain disulfide bridges.
