The ECM Flashcards
contacts basal lamina
basal surface
basil lamina physical properties
very thin, tough flexible sheet
these rest on basal lamina foundation
columnar epithelia
two distinct basal lamiae form a tight barrier that limits:
diffusion (between blood and brain)
role basal lamina plays in tissue repair after wounding
cell adhesion
basal lamina cell adhesion after:
wounding
basal lamina functionally provide a surface for:
fibroblast migration
basal lamina composed of 4 major proteins:
Type IV collagen, Laminins, Perlecan, Nidogen
trimeric molecules with rodlike and globular domains that form a 2D network
Type IV collagen
family of multiadhesive cross-shaped proteins that form fibrous 2D network with Type IV collagen
Laminins
large multidomain proteoglycan that binds to and cross-links many ECM components
Perlecan
structure of collagen proteins
trimeric proteins
three collagen polypeptides form into:
triple helix
repeating sequence of collagen peptide
Gly - X - Y
collagen peptide sequence X and Y stand for:
proline and hydroxyproline (or lysine and hydroxylisine)
collagen peptide amino acid small enough to fit in center of triple helix
Gly
collagen triple helix monomer associate in this manner
head-to-head or tail-to-tail
collagen small globular domain at N-terminus forms:
tetramers
large globular domain at C-terminus forms:
dimers
collagen dimers and tetramers associate to form:
lattice
some collagen covalent crosslinking occurs between these domains
C-terminal globular domains
collogen mutations in Gly cause: (scientific and common name)
osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease)
mutation in Gly from brittle bone disease can disrupt:
collagen triple helix
brittle bone disease S/S
bones break from normal weight-bearing
