Abstract excerpt
Human collagen X contains a highly conserved 161-amino acid C-terminal non-triple helical domain that is homologous to the C-terminal domain of collagen VIII and to the C1q module of the human C1 enzyme. We have expressed this domain (residues 545-680) in Escherichia coli as a glutathione S-transferase fusion protein. The purified fusion protein trimerizes spontaneously in vitro, and after thrombin cleavage, the...
