Definition
Type 3 collagen forms fetal skin.
Term
The skin of the fetus is composed of what collagen type?
Definition
Type 3 collagen forms fetal skin.
Term
What collagen compose basement membrane?
Definition
Basement membranes are composed of type 4 collagens. 
Term
During pro-alpha chain assembly, ________ and interchain _________ bonds form at N-terminal propetide extension.
Definition
Intrachain, false the disulfide bond forms at C-terminal propeptide extension. 
Term

Collagen is on one gene.


Definition
False, collagen genes are spread all over the genome. 
Term
The structure of collagen is composed of amino acids _______, _______, _______.
Definition
Collagen is composed of a triple helical amino acid structure intertwined by hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, and Glycine. 
Term
What two genes are transcribed in the 1st step of collagen synthesis?
Definition
Pro-alpha 1 and pro-alpha 2 are the 1st genes transcribed into mRNA.
Term

Which Hydoxylated amino acid residues are glycosylated with glucose and galactose?


Definition
Hydroxylysine is the amino acid that is glycosylated w/ glucose & galactose. 
Term

The signal sequence of prepro-alpha-peptide mRNA is removed in the:

a-Nucleus

b-Cytoplasm

c-Golgi aparatus

d-Endoplasmic Reticulum

Definition
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is the site of signal seq. removal of prepro-alpha-peptide.
Term
True/False procollagen is cleaved before being secreted from ER?
Definition
False, procollagen is 1st secreted from Golgi vacuole, and 2nd N&C terminal propeptides are cleaved in the extracellular matrix.
Term
In linear polymer staggered stacking of collagen fibrils, how is staining produced?
Definition
Only in regions with gaps are where heavy staining seen.
Term
Vitamin C and Fe+2 is required by which process in collagen synthesis?
Definition
Prolyl hydroxylase requires Fe+2 and Ascorbic acid (Vit. C) as cofactors to hydroxylate proline. 
Term

Hydroxylation of proline requires the cofactors:

a-alpha Ketogluterate

b-Oxygen

c-Ascorbate

d-Fe+2

e-all of the above

Definition
Hydroxylation by prolyl hydroxylase of proline requires O2, alpha ketogluterate, ascorbate, and Fe+2.
Term
T/F lysyl hydroxylase and prolyl hydroxylase requires the same cofactors?
Definition
True, they req. Fe, and Vit. C.
Term

Tell me which is the correct steps of collagen synthesis?

a-, Pro-alpha chain, Hydroxyprolyl residue, Prolyl residue

b-Prolyl residue, Pro-alpha chain, Hydroxylation step

c-Prolyl residue, Hydroxylation step, Pro-alpha chain

Definition
c-Prolyl residue,Hydroxylation step, Pro-alpha chain.
Term
Scurvy is considered a mild disease because?
Definition
It is mal-nutritionally based and mediated by Ascorbic acid rich foods like citrus foodstuffs. 
Term
OI is a result of what genetic change?
Definition
OI results from collagen gene substitutions in COL1A1 or COL1A2 resulting in substitution of Gly to another.
Term
What is the microscopic consequence of genetic mutation of COL1A2 & COL1A1?
Definition
OI result due to incorrect folding of collagen's triple helix. 
Term
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is cause by and clinically presents?
Definition
EDS is a genetic collagen disorder, it is typified by stretchy skin and joint hypermobility. 
Term
T/F elastin is stretchy b/c it has more hydroxylation of it proline and lysine components?
Definition
False it has little hydroxyproline and no hydroxylysine.
Term

Mutation in ______ is responsible for Marfan Syndrome:

a-Lysine

b-collagen

c-elastin

d-fibrillin


Definition
Fibrillin, is the causitive source of Marfan Syndrome when FBN1 is mutated.
Term
A deletion of chromosome 15 would affect which connective tissue?
Definition
Chromesome 15 contains FBN1 which codes for fibrillin, which will vicariously affect elastin. 
Term

 

Desmosine cross-link is seen seen in which connective tissue type?

a-collagen

b-elastin

c-fibrillin

d-proline

 

Definition
Desmosine cross-linking is classical of elastin's elastic properties, this is produced by oxidative deamination by  lysyl oxidase.
