Abstract excerpt
Collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase 1) cleaves type I, II, and III collagen helices at a specific site between Gly-Ile or Gly-Leu bonds (residues 775 and 776, P1-P1'). To understand the mechanism of collagen processing, mutations around the cleavage site have been introduced into the cloned murine pro alpha 1(I) collagen (Col1a1) gene. These mutant constructs have been transfected into homozygous Mov13...
