- Collagen includes fibrous collagen that forms collagen fibers and non-fibrous collagen that does not form fibers. Fibrous collagen forms a triple helical structure (tropocollagen) by gathering three polypeptide chains of collagen. The topocollagen having a triple helical structure is self-assembled to be aligned with a quarter of the molecular length to form collagen fibrils (collagen fibrils). Furthermore, many collagen fibrils are aggregated to form collagen fibers (collagen fiber bundles).
- the collagen fibers form a two-dimensional layer aligned in the same direction, and this layer has a plywood-like three-dimensional layer structure in which each layer is orthogonally stacked.
- Collagen having this plywood-like three-dimensional layered plate structure is transparent and has high strength.
- diseases caused by such molecular abnormality of collagen include collagen disease (for example, dermatomyositis, polymyositis) or corneal cloudiness, but there are many treatment methods that have not been established. This is partly due to the fact that the secretory process of collagen and the formation process of higher-order structures are still unclear. If it is possible to analyze the secretion process of collagen and the formation process of higher-order structures, it will be used as an effective means for elucidating the causes of diseases caused by collagen molecular abnormalities and developing treatments for them. be able to.

However, by inserting a fluorescent protein at a specific position of collagen protein and / or C-proprotein, it becomes possible to maintain a triple helical structure and to construct a system that can detect the secretion of procollagen from animal cells. It was. In addition, by inserting a fluorescent protein at a specific position of N-proprotein, a triple helical structure can be maintained, and a system capable of detecting procollagen secretion from animal cells could be constructed.
