Laminin 5 Binds the NC-1 Domain of Type VII Collagen [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1997
Mutational analyses of genes that encode components of the anchoring complex underlying the basolateral surface of external epithelia indicate that this structure is the major element providing for resistance to external friction. Ultrastructurally, laminin 5 (α3β3γ2; a component of the anchoring filament) appears as a thin filament bridging the ...

Molecular biology and pathology of type VII collagen*

Experimental Dermatology, 1992
Abstract Type VII collagen is a genetically distinct member of the collagen family of proteins. Type VII collagen has been shown to be the major component of anchoring fibrils, attachment complexes which secure the cutaneous basement membrance of the skin to the underlying dermis. Understanding of the structure of type VII collagen has been advanced by

Immune reactivity to type VII collagen: implications for gene therapy of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa

open access: yesGene Therapy, 2010
International audienceRecessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe genodermatosis caused by loss-of-function mutations in COL7A1 encoding type VII collagen, the component of anchoring fibrils.

The vWFA2 domain of type VII collagen is responsible for collagen binding

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2013
Type VII collagen (Col7) is the major component of anchoring fibrils and very important for skin integrity. This is emphasized by the Col7 related skin blistering diseases dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. Structural data that provides insights into the interaction network of Col7 and thus providing a basis for a ...

Pathogenicity of IgG subclass autoantibodies to type VII collagen: Induction of dermal–epidermal separation

open access: yesJournal of Autoimmunity, 2010
In different autoimmune diseases, tissue damage is mediated by the Fc portion of autoantibodies. These include autoimmunity to type VII collagen, a major hemidesmosomal skin constituent, where autoantibodies activate both complement and leukocytes ...

Dual mechanism of type VII collagen transfer by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles to recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa fibroblasts

open access: yesBiochimie, 2018
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a severe blistering disease resulting from a lack of type VII collagen production. Recent clinical trials have shown efficacy of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in the treatment of

Development of a Neo-Epitope Specific Assay for Serological Assessment of Type VII Collagen Turnover and Its Relevance in Fibroproliferative Disorders

open access: yesAssay and Drug Development Technologies, 2018
Type VII collagen is the main component of the anchoring fibrils connecting the basement membrane to the underlying interstitial matrix. Mutations in the type VII collagen gene cause dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Increased levels of type VII collagen

Laminins, tenascin and type VII collagen in colorectal mucosa

The Histochemical Journal, 1996
The distribution of different laminin polypeptides, type VII collagen and tenascin has been studied in adult and foetal colorectal mucosa by using the indirect immunofluorescence technique. Immunoreactivity for laminin alpha 1 chain was located to basement membranes of epithelia, muscularis mucosae, and blood vessels, respectively in different segments
