Recombinant bacterial plasmids have been constructed by inserting double-stranded chicken procollagen cDNA sequences linked to chemically synthesized decanucleotides containing HindIII sites into the HindIII site of pBR322. After transformation of Escherichia coli chi1776, colonies were selected by ampicillin resistance and recombinants containing procollagen sequences were identified by colony hybridization to 32P-labeled procollagen cDNA. The inserts from three recombinant plasmids, pCg10, pCg13, and pCg45, were 1200, 2200, and 2550 base pairs long respectively. Their sequence homology has been established by restriction mapping and crosshybridization of nick-translated plasmids to Southern blots of Hpa II fragments of the inserts, pCg45 has been positively identified as containing the pro alpha2 collagen sequence by partial determination of the DNA sequence of its ends: it has a short thymine-rich sequence at one end and a sequence coding for residues 478--499 in the chicken alpha2 chain at the other end.

Background: Procollagen type III N-terminal peptide (P-III-NP) is a fibrosis biomarker associated with liver and cardiac fibrosis. Despite the value of P-III-NP as a biomarker, its analysis currently relies on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and radioimmunoassays (RIA), which require more than 3 h. To facilitate early diagnosis and treatment through rapid biomarker testing, we developed a one-step immunoassay for P-III-NP using a quenchbody, which is a fluorescence-labeled immunosensor for immediate signal generation.

Type V collagen is considered to be a crucial minor collagen in fish skin with unique physiological functions. In this research, the cDNAs of three procollagens (Tacol5a1, Tacol5a2, and Tacol5a3) in type V collagen were cloned from the skin of shortbill spearfish (). The open reading frames (ORFs) of Tacol5a1, Tacol5a2, and Tacol5a3 contained 5991, 4485, and 5607 bps, respectively, encoding 1997, 1495, and 1869 amino acid residues.

Secretion and quality control of large extracellular matrix proteins remain poorly understood and debated, particularly transport intermediates delivering folded proteins from the ER to Golgi and misfolded ones to lysosomes. Discrepancies between different studies are related to utilization of exogenous cargo, off-target effects of experimental conditions and cell manipulation, and identification of transport intermediates without tracing their origin and destination. To address these issues, here we imaged secretory and degradative trafficking of type I procollagen in live MC3T3 osteoblasts by replacing a region encoding N-propeptide in endogenous Col1a2 gDNA with GFP cDNA.

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a rare autosomal inheritable disorder characterized by bone fragility and skeletal deformity, is caused by pathogenic variants in genes impairing the synthesis and processing of extracellular matrix protein collagen type I. With the use of next-generation sequencing and panels approaches, an increasing number of OI patients can be confirmed and new pathogenic variants can be discovered. This study sought to identify pathogenic gene variants in a Chinese family with OI I.

Inactive () and mutations detected in tolloid-like 1 () have been linked to the lack of the heart septa formation in mice and to a similar human inborn condition called atrial-septal defect 6 (ASD6; OMIM 613087, formerly ASD II). Previously, we reported four point mutations in found in approximately 20% of ASD6 patients. Three mutations in the coding sequence were M182L, V238A, and I629V.
