A cysteine-based molecular code informs collagen C-propeptide assembly

Fundamental questions regarding collagen biosynthesis, especially with respect to the molecular origins of homotrimeric versus heterotrimeric assembly, remain unanswered. Here, we demonstrate that the presence or absence of a single cysteine in type-I collagen’s C-propeptide domain is a key factor g...
