| Abstract | Type IX collagen represents 5-20% of the total collagen in hyaline cartilage. The molecules of this collagen are composed of three genetically distinct polypeptide subunits. One of these subunits, alpha 2(IX), contains covalently bound glycosaminoglycan (chondroitin sulfate or dermatan sulfate). We report here on the structure of the glycosaminoglycan attachment site of type IX collagen-proteoglycan. We show, by a combination of cDNA and peptide sequencing, that the attachment region contains the sequence Gly-Ser-Ala-Asp, located within the noncollagenous domain NC3 of the alpha 2(IX) chain. By comparing the exons encoding the NC3 domain in the alpha 2(IX) and alpha 1(IX) genes, we find that the exon coding for the glycosaminoglycan attachment site in the alpha 2(IX) gene is 48 base pairs long, whereas the homologous alpha 1(IX) exon is 33 base pairs. The NC3 domain is, therefore, five amino acid residues longer in alpha 2(IX) than in alpha 1(IX). The extra sequence in alpha 2(IX), Val-Glu-Gly-Ser-Ala, provides a simple explanation for the kink observed at the NC3 domain of type IX molecules when examined by electron microscopy. The inserted block of amino acid residues also provides the NC3 domain of alpha 2(IX) chains with a serine residue, not present in alpha 1(IX) that serves as attachment site for a glycosaminoglycan side chain. Our data show that the amino acid sequence that surrounds the glycosylated serine residue in type IX collagen-proteoglycan differs from glycosylated sequences in noncollagenous core proteins. The data also provide strong evidence that glycosylation of type IX collagen is not a chance glycosylation of a serine residue in a noncollagenous domain, but is a specific post-translational modification of this unusual collagen molecule. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
