ECM Flashcards
Structural Proteins
Colalgen-strength
Elastin-resilience
Glycosaminoglycans
complex sugars that bind water and resist compression
Negatively charged
in joints/eye
Binds to proteoglycans
GAG
Proteoglycans
Proteints that vacantly bind to GAG
Adhesive glycoproteins
fibronectin, laminin, etactcin
Ground substance
Macromoleuclar compoentts-
structural proteins, glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, adhesive glycoproteins
Ground subtance+ cells
connective tissue
What is under the epithelium
basal lamina then connective tissue
Parenchyma
specialized epithelium
2 main regions of basal laminia + under that
=total is basement membrane
electron dense region underlying epithelial laer (rara/lucida/interna)-this part binds to hemidosmosomes
Much more electron dense under that-lamina densa
lamnia reticularis-made by fibroblasts, type 3 collagen
can only see difference in basement membrane with EM
under that is the stroma
what mediates continuum between cell surface and ecm
syndecans and integrins
Basement membrane
Basement membrane at EM and whats inside them
Can see with LM
Basal-laminin, fibronectin, coallagen, proteoglycans, enactin
Reticular-type 3 collagen (reticular fibers)
type 3 collagen is known as
reticular fibers
Stroma characteristic
fell cells, lots of matrix, dense irregular connective tissue
some tissues have specialized fibroblasts that secrete in stroma-secrete bone/cartledge
Collagen structure + facts
most abundant protein in body
individual collagen form triple helix, extensive, and can bind to other triple helixes to make huge molecule
Gly-x-y-gly-h atom (h is in middle of helix) side chain-repeats and fits inside helix
-X,Y s often P or K and can be hydroxylated-contributes to hydrogen binding or can be deaminited
K-contributes to cross linking to produce fibrils
mutation in glycine-disease
Fibril
Many triple helixes of collagen
Type 1, 2, 3 collagens
All form fibrils
1-bone , skin tendons-90% of body collagen
2-carledge
3-skin, blood vessels-exppand and contract-in stroma
type 7 collagen
anchors fibrils
beneath stratified squamous epithelia
stroma/blistering
collagen synthesis pathway
synthesized in city, bind SRP, ER, secreted
- hydroxlate some proteins and lysine
- glycoslate selected hydroxylysines
- extension peptides keep from multimerizing in cell-but does a little enough to be exerted through sec vesicle
- triplex forms-seceded out of cell as pro collagen
- made into tropocollagen by removing extension peptides
- self assemble into huge fibers
what hydroxylates glycine and prolines in collagen
vitamin c
can’t replace weak collagen with stronger-scurvy-teeth fall out
lysyl oxidase
cross-links tropocollagen molecules
DRAW SLIDE 10
Collagen type 3
Reticular-silver stain
in lymph nodes
more carbs thiner fibrils, more branches, fewer bundles
IMMUNE STRUCTURES
fibril associated collagen
ex-typle 9
interruption of triple helix-less rigid-form hinge
extensio peptides generally retained
Decorates outside of type 2 collagen (in cartilage)-9 is on outside
Join integrity
collagen type 4
network forming
major component of basement membrane+ basal lamina
extensio peptides are never cleaved-c and N termini interact=form dimer
N terminus has origination out of plane-vertical extensions-multilayer
- chicken wire array
- many of these form stacked network of sheets
Type 7 collagen
if mutated blistering-between epithelium and basement membrane
monomers make dimer, interact between stroma and lamina dense, keep storm attached to lamina densa
basement membrane NOT intact
