Type V collagen

Last updated

Type V collagen is a form of fibrillar [1] collagen associated with classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. It is found within the dermal/epidermal junction, placental tissues, as well as in association with tissues containing type I collagen. [2]

Contents

Type V collagen is a part of the family of collagen proteins consisting of Collagen I- Collagen XXVIII. Collagen proteins are often associated with the strengthening and support of many tissues including skin, bones, muscles, and ligaments. There are some studies that suggest that Type V collagen is responsible for the formation of other collagen fibrils in different tissues within the body. [3] According to studies, Collagen V regulates the heterotypic fiber diameter. [4] Type V Collagen is considered a regulatory fibril forming collagen. [5] Collagen V is associated with the COL5A1 gene which is the gene which provides instructions to produce Collagen V. Type V Collagen, like other collagens, is made up of procollagen molecules.

Collagen V molecular isoforms are α1(V)α2(V)α3(V), α1(V)3, and α1(V)2 α2(V). These procollagen molecules are made up of three different α -polypeptide chains. [5] These α -polypeptide chains are α1(V), α2(V), and α3(V). Different combinations of these chains form the Type V collagen Isoforms. Procollagen molecules then form mature collagen with the help of enzymes. After the chains are formed, they arrange into thin fibrils. These collagen fibrils then assort with type I collagen fibrils. [3]

Type V collagen is a part of the Extracellular Matrix (ECM). [5] Collagen V is gene expression modulated by TGF-β. Type V collagen has shown that it is resistant to digestion by interstitial collagenases. Denatured collagen V on the other hand, can be degraded by gelatinases as well as metalloproteinases. [5]

Alternative names

Type V collagen has a few alternative names alpha 1 These include: type V collagen preproprotein, CO5A1_HUMAN, and collagen type V alpha. [3] Type V collagen can also be abbreviated to COLV or collagen V.

Diseases associated with type V collagen

Some studies show that a mutation in the gene that codes for Type V collagen is linked as the cause of a form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.  Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Classical Type is the result of mutations of the COL5A1 or COL5A2 gene which both code for Type V Collagen. This form of the Ehlers Danlos- Syndrome (classical type) is associated with hypermobility, scarring and elasticity of the skin and other tissues. Researchers discovered the cause of this form of Ehlers Danlos is due to the mutation that produces less chains from the three chains that make up Type V Collagen. Over 100 mutations to the gene COL5A1 have been identified. These mutations result in the underproduction of pro-α1(V) chains. With these mutations, Type V Collagen fibrils are not fully developed and disorganized. This results in the different symptoms of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. [3]

Health

Type V Collagen studies show that Collagen V plays some other roles in different parts of the body. These roles can be both beneficial and harmful.

Beneficial roles that Type V collagen plays in the body are:

Harmful roles that Type V collagen can play in the body.

Autoimmunity against type V collagen is associated with lung transplant failure. [6] [7] [8]

Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix of a body's various connective tissues. As the main component of connective tissue, it is the most abundant protein in mammals. 25% to 35% of a mammalian body's protein content is collagen. Amino acids are bound together to form a triple helix of elongated fibril known as a collagen helix. The collagen helix is mostly found in connective tissue such as cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments, and skin. Vitamin C is vital for collagen synthesis, while Vitamin E improves its production.

The current classification was last updated in 2017, when a number of rarer forms of EDS were added.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Collagen, type III, alpha 1</span>

Type III Collagen is a homotrimer, or a protein composed of three identical peptide chains (monomers), each called an alpha 1 chain of type III collagen. Formally, the monomers are called collagen type III, alpha-1 chain and in humans are encoded by the COL3A1 gene. Type III collagen is one of the fibrillar collagens whose proteins have a long, inflexible, triple-helical domain.

Collagen IV is a type of collagen found primarily in the basal lamina. The collagen IV C4 domain at the C-terminus is not removed in post-translational processing, and the fibers link head-to-head, rather than in parallel. Also, collagen IV lacks the regular glycine in every third residue necessary for the tight, collagen helix. This makes the overall arrangement more sloppy with kinks. These two features cause the collagen to form in a sheet, the form of the basal lamina. Collagen IV is the more common usage, as opposed to the older terminology of "type-IV collagen". Collagen IV exists in all metazoan phyla, to whom they served as an evolutionary stepping stone to multicellularity.

Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen of the human body, consisting of around 90% of the body's total collagen in vertebrates. Due to this, it is also the most abundant protein type found in all vertebrates. Type I forms large, eosinophilic fibers known as collagen fibers, which make up most of the rope-like dense connective tissue in the body.

Collagen VI (ColVI) is a type of collagen primarily associated with the extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle. ColVI maintains regularity in muscle function and stabilizes the cell membrane. It is synthesized by a complex, multistep pathway that leads to the formation of a unique network of linked microfilaments located in the extracellular matrix (ECM). ColVI plays a vital role in numerous cell types, including chondrocytes, neurons, myocytes, fibroblasts, and cardiomyocytes. ColVI molecules are made up of three alpha chains: α1(VI), α2(VI), and α3(VI). It is encoded by 6 genes: COL6A1, COL6A2, COL6A3, COL6A4, COL6A5, and COL6A6. The chain lengths of α1(VI) and α2(VI) are about 1,000 amino acids. The chain length of α3(VI) is roughly a third larger than those of α1(VI) and α2(VI), and it consists of several spliced variants within the range of 2,500 to 3,100 amino acids.

Feline cutaneous asthenia is a rare inheritable skin disease of cats characterised by abnormal elasticity, stretching, and improper healing of the skin. Pendulous wing-like folds of skin form on the cat's back, shoulders and haunches. Even stroking the cat can cause the skin to stretch and tear. A recessive autosomal form of feline cutaneous asthenia has been identified in Siamese cats and related breeds. In the homozygous state, it is apparently lethal. Feline cutaneous asthenia is similar to the Ehlers–Danlos syndrome of humans.

FKBP14 is a gene which codes for a structural protein named FKBP prolyl isomerase 14. This protein is believed to aid in the process of procollagen folding and is located in the endoplasmic reticulum that functions to process and transport proteins. Procollagens are collagen precursors located in the extracellular matrix that give tissues elasticity, strength, and support. This gene is involved in patterning the collagen structure. FKBP prolyl isomerase 14 may also be involved in altering other factors in the extracellular matrix. Mutations of this gene are associated with the kyphoscoliotic type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This condition is characterized by a high range of joint movement, muscle atrophy, curved spine, and delicate cardiovascular vessels. These symptoms are brought about by a loss of the protein which results in a disruption of endoplasmic reticulum activities and extracellular matrix organization. FKBP14 mRNA levels are found higher in ovarian cancer tissues than healthy ovarian tissue and knocked down expression of FKBP14 by lentiviral shRNA leads to an impaired proliferative ability of ovarian cancer cells.
