Abstract excerpt
A key question relating to procollagen biosynthesis is the way in which closely related procollagen chains discriminate between each other to assemble in a type-specific manner. Intracellular assembly of procollagen occurs via an initial interaction between the C-propeptides followed by vectorial propagation of the triple-helical domain in the C to N direction. Recognition signals within the C-propeptides must,...
