The latter step is critical and implies specific chain recognition, with appropriate composition and stoichiometry, to avoid the production of dysfunctional chimeric molecules by cells that synthesize several collagen types. In the case of fibrillar collagen, this recognition mechanism is controlled by the C-terminal domain called C-propeptide.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One of our research interest is to understand the molecular details of collagen C-propeptides governing recognition mechanisms and the structural impact of mutations in these domains known to cause genetic diseases (Osteogenesis Imperfecta, Chondrodysplasias, Ehlers-Danlos etc).<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">At the extracellular level, after secretion of procollagen molecules, proteolytic maturation is required to decrease collagen solubility and trigger fibril formation. The main proteinases involved are the BMP-1\/tolloid-like proteinases (BTPs), meprins and ADAMTS-2, 3 and 14. BTPs are assisted in this function by a 50 kDa glycoprotein called Procollagen C-Proteinase Enhancer-1 (PCPE-1) which can significantly increase their cleavage efficiencies. Interestingly, PCPE-1 is specific for fibrillar procollagens, as it does not affect other BTP activities, and potentially allows to speed up collagen fibril formation in a significant manner when active collagen deposition is needed (development, tissue repair).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are trying to understand the mechanism of action of the large proteolytic complexes involved in procollagen maturation with two (protease-substrate, substrate-enhancer, protease-enhancer) or three (protease-substrate-enhancer) partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3421 \" src=\"https:\/\/lbti.ibcp.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/figure-complexes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"798\" height=\"562\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(A) Crystal structure of the complex between the C-propeptide domain of collagen III\u00a0 and the active part of PCPE-1 (CUB1CUB2).
