Two sets of interacting collagens form functionally distinct substructures within a Caenorhabditis elegans extracellular matrix.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Apr 2003

McMahon Laura, Muriel Joaquin M, Roberts Brett, Quinn Martyn, Johnstone Iain L

Abstract excerpt

A ubiquitous feature of collagens is protein interaction, the trimerization of monomers to form a triple helix followed by higher order interactions during the formation of the mature extracellular matrix. The Caenorhabditis elegans cuticle is a complex extracellular matrix consisting predominantly of cuticle collagens, which are encoded by a family of approximately 154 genes. We identify two discrete interacting...
