Q

In the process of making collagen in the cell, the mRNA is translated in the _____, then select _____ and _____ residues are hydroxylated, and then only _____ _____ residues are glycosylated. Next, these pro-alpha chains assemble, forming inter and intrachain ______ bridges at the _____-terminal. The triple helix structure is then formed by “zipper-like” folding from the _____-terminal to the _____-terminal, and the procollagen molecule is secreted into the ECM. There, the termini are cleaved, and the collagen molecules self-assemble to form cross-linked _______.

A

Collagen mRNA is translated in the CYTOSOL, then select PROLINE and LYSINE residues are hydroxylated, and then only HYDROXYLYSINE residues are glycosylated. Next, these pro-alpha chains assemble, forming inter and intrachain DISULFIDE bridges at the C-terminal. The triple helix structure is then formed by zipper-like folding from the C-terminal to the N-terminal, and the procollagen molecule is secreted into the ECM. There, the termini are cleaved, and the collagen molecules self-assemble to form cross-linked FIBRILS.

Q

Type II, III, and IV OI arise from substitutions in the gene for ____1A1 or ____1A2 which results in the change from _____ to another AA with a bulky side chain. This prevents correct folding into the triple helix form.

A

Arise from substitutions in the gene for COL1A1 or COL1A2 which results in the change from GLYCINE to another AA with a bulky side chain.

Q

In the ECM, elastin interacts with _____. Mutations in _____ lead to Marfan syndrome, which shows a(n) _____ dominant mode of inheritance linked to the ____ gene on chromosome 15.

A

Elastin interacts with FIBRILIN. Mutations in FIBRILIN lead to Marfan syndrome, which shows an AUTOSOMAL dominant mode of inheritance linked to the FBN1 gene on chromosome 15.
