  1. CELLS
  2. FIBERS
  3. GROUND SUBSTANCE
Term

 4 Cell Types

of

Connective Tissue

Definition
  1. Fibroblast - makes (Collagen I)  ligament, tendon, capsules
  2. Adipocytes - store fat
  3. Chondroblast - cartilage
  4. Osteoblast- bone
Term

3 Types of Fibers

In

Connective Tissue

Definition
  1. Collagen - flexibility and strength
  2. Elastic - stretches
  3. Reticular - basket around organs
Term
Ground Substance
Definition
  • Proteoglycans (GAGs+proteins)
  • Glycoproteins
  • Tissue Fluid
Term
Structure of Collagen
Definition
  • Primary - GLY-X-Y repeated
  • Secondary: alpha chains (1,2,or3)
  • Tertiary&Quartenary: triple helix - 3 alpha chains
Term
Melting Point of Collagen
Definition

Ratio of Pro + Hyp is directly related to Tm & Ts

 

 

Tm = temperature at which 50% of helical content is lost.

 

Tm > Tbody

Term
Synthesis of Collagen
Definition

ER & GOLGI

  1. Synthesis of alpha chains
  2. Hydroxylation of proline and lysine
  3. Glycosylation of select hydroxylysines
  4. Assembly into triple Helix using registration peptides

ECM

  1. Tropocollagen: Cleavage of registration peptide by procollagen peptidase
  2. Collagen Fibril: self-assembly of tropocollagens into a staggered 64nm banding pattern 
  3. Collagen Fiber: cross-linking of collagen fibrils
  4. Bundles of Fibers: tube of collagen I containing many collagen fibers
Term

Which Collagen Types make Collagen Fibrils

Definition

Collagen Type I, II, III, V and VI

 

(makes 64nm banding pattern)

Term

Which Collagen Types make Collagen Fibers

Definition
Collagen I and III
Term
Which Collagen Types make Bundle of Collagen Fibers?
Definition
Collagen I
Term
Enzymes in Collagen Synthesis
Definition
  1. Prolyl hydroxylase
  2. Lysyl hydroxylase
  3. Lysyl oxidase - invovled in cross-linking
  4. Glycosyl transferase - glycosylation of hydroxyleuscine
  5. Amino and arboxyl Terminal Peptidase - ?
Term
Precautions with cross linking
Definition

 

 

SH groups can react with the aldolhydes and inhibit collagen synthesis because it will react with the aldo groups and form a stable product.
Term
Vitamin C Deficiency in Collagen Synthesis
Definition
Hydroxylation will not occur and the collagen made will be unstable.  If collagen is not hydroxylated it will mostly be degraded before it leaves the Golgi
Term
Elastic Fiber - Characteristics
Definition
  • Stretches easily
  • branching fibers
  • very resistant to boiling,acidsm and protease digestion

  • (desomosine crosslinks)
  • Random secondary structure
Term

Term
Genetic Markers of Collagen vs Leucine?
Definition

Collagen - Lysinonorleucine

Elastin - Desomosine and Isodesmosine

Term
 Lathyrism
Definition

 

 

A  dietary disease which results in the inactivation of lysyl oxidase causing crosslinking inhibition of collagen by:

  • regular consumption of Beta-aminoproprionitrile found in sweet pea which inactivates lysyl oxidase resulting in decreased crosslinking in collagen.
  • or, penicillamine which inhibits collagen crosslinking because it chelates copper ions that are needed for lysyl oxidase activity. (Used to treat Wilson's disease which is a overload of copper)
