Abstract excerpt
Glycine (Gly) substitutions in collagen Gly-X-Y repeats disrupt folding of type I procollagen triple helix and cause severe bone fragility and malformations (osteogenesis imperfecta [OI]). However, these mutations do not elicit the expected endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, in contrast to other protein-folding diseases. Thus, it has remained unclear whether cell stress and osteoblast malfunction...
