Abstract excerpt
The most commonly identified mutations causing Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) classic type result in haploinsufficiency of proalpha1(V) chains of type V collagen, a quantitatively minor collagen that co-assembles with type I collagen as heterotypic fibrils. To determine the role(s) of type I/V collagen interactions in fibrillogenesis and elucidate the mechanism whereby half-reduction of type V collagen causes...
