Domains in tropoelastin that mediate elastin deposition in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract excerpt

Elastic fiber assembly is a complicated process involving multiple different proteins and enzyme activities. However, the specific protein-protein interactions that facilitate elastin polymerization have not been defined. To identify domains in the tropoelastin molecule important for the assembly process, we utilized an in vitro assembly model to map sequences within tropoelastin that facilitate its association...
