Fibromodulin is a keratan-sulfate small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) regulating collagen I and II fibril formation. In vivo studies suggest that, alongside decorin, fibromodulin plays an important role in the maintenance of mature tissues. To characterize fibromodulin/decorin differences in binding to type I and II collagen, we tested the collagen CNBr peptides in solid-phase assays. Only one peptide from collagen II and several peptides from collagen I interacted with fibromodulin, pointing to multiple binding sites in the collagen I molecule. By Scatchard-type analysis, the fibromodulin molecule showed only one class of binding sites for collagen I and both low and high affinity (classes of) binding sites for collagen II. Lys/Hyl residues in both collagens are essential for the interaction. Fibril formation assays showed the concomitant presence of fibromodulin and decorin in fibrils and a cumulative inhibitory effect. In solid-phase assays decorin seems to inhibit fibromodulin binding, whereas the contrary does not occur. We found fibromodulin and decorin have similarities and differences that may represent the biochemical basis of redundancy in SLRP function with compensation between different (classes of) SLRPs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011137 Polystyrenes Polymerized forms of styrene used as a biocompatible material, especially in dentistry. They are thermoplastic and are used as insulators, for injection molding and casting, as sheets, plates, rods, rigid forms and beads. Polystyrol,Polystyrene,Polystyrols
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein

D000071235 Fibromodulin A small leucine-rich proteoglycan that contains 4 KERATAN SULFATE chains within the leucine repeat region. It interacts with COLLAGEN TYPE I and COLLAGEN TYPE II fibrils and may function to control the rate of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX assembly. It also sequesters TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA in the extracellular matrix. FMOD Protein
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D016326 Extracellular Matrix Proteins Macromolecular organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually, sulfur. These macromolecules (proteins) form an intricate meshwork in which cells are embedded to construct tissues. Variations in the relative types of macromolecules and their organization determine the type of extracellular matrix, each adapted to the functional requirements of the tissue. The two main classes of macromolecules that form the extracellular matrix are: glycosaminoglycans, usually linked to proteins (proteoglycans), and fibrous proteins (e.g., COLLAGEN; ELASTIN; FIBRONECTINS; and LAMININ).

D024042 Collagen Type I The most common form of fibrillar collagen. It is a major constituent of bone (BONE AND BONES) and SKIN and consists of a heterotrimer of two alpha1(I) and one alpha2(I) chains. Type 1 Collagen,Type I Collagen,Collagen, Type 1,Collagen, Type I
D024043 Collagen Type II A fibrillar collagen found predominantly in CARTILAGE and vitreous humor. It consists of three identical alpha1(II) chains.
