Hydrophobic domains of human tropoelastin interact in a context-dependent manner.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 30 Nov 2001

Toonkool P, Jensen S A, Maxwell A L, Weiss A S

Abstract excerpt

Tropoelastin is the soluble precursor of elastin, the major component of the extracellular elastic fiber. Tropoelastin undergoes self-association via an inverse temperature transition termed coacervation, which is a crucial step in elastogenesis. Coacervation of tropoelastin takes place through multiple intermolecular interactions of its hydrophobic domains. Previous work has implicated those hydrophobic domains...
