Abstract

Collagen VI, a microfibrillar protein found in virtually all connective tissues, is composed of three distinct subunits, alpha1(VI), alpha2(VI), and alpha3(VI), which associate intracellularly to form triple helical heterotrimeric monomers then dimers and tetramers. The secreted tetramers associate end-to-end to form beaded microfibrils. Although the basic steps in assembly and the structure of the tetramers and microfibrils are well defined, details of the interacting protein domains involved in assembly are still poorly understood. To explore the role of the C-terminal globular regions in assembly, alpha3(VI) cDNA expression constructs with C-terminal truncations were stably transfected into SaOS-2 cells. Control alpha3(VI) N6-C5 chains with an intact C-terminal globular region (subdomains C1-C5), and truncated alpha3(VI) N6-C1, N6-C2, N6-C3, and N6-C4 chains, all associated with endogenous alpha1(VI) and alpha2(VI) to form collagen VI monomers, dimers and tetramers, which were secreted. These data demonstrate that subdomains C2-C5 are not required for monomer, dimer or tetramer assembly, and suggest that the important chain selection interactions involve the C1 subdomains. In contrast to tetramers containing control alpha3(V...Continue Reading
