Abstract
The effects of far ultraviolet light irradiation upon an amphibian cornea were studied to compare the effects observed both quantitatively and ultrastructurally with data obtained after UV irradiation of mammalian corneas. The ultimate goal of this series of investigations is the elucidation of the alterations and the regeneration mechanisms, which might reflect existing morphological diversities among the species, observed in vertebrate corneas following exposure to UV light. It was found that while the epithelial cells undergo oedema after low dose exposures and are gradually damaged after high doses of UV light, 2-4 days leter a new epithelium has been formed. Intercellular permeability is increased by low dose exposure as was detected by the penetration of Ruthenium Red into the intercellular clefts. Under these conditions desmosomal structure revealed a 21-laminar configuration. The basement membrane of the amphibian, unlike that of the mammal, does not dissolve away upon exposure but shows localized disruptions which are thought to accommodate the passage of leucocytes from stroma to epithelium. That a new basement membrane is subsequently formed is evident by the existence of extracellular and intracellular secretion granules. In comparison to irradiated rabbit corneas, this stroma remains remarkably at the same thickness following a high dose exposure although a noticeable disorganization of collagen arrangement is apparent. Finally, as in the case of the rabbit corneas, a secondary degeneration of endothelium was observed 4 days after a moderate dose exposure.

Abstract
The distribution of type II collagen, considered to be characteristic of cartilaginous tissues, was determined in various specialized cartilages of the mature pig. The tissues examined were: (1) fibrocartilage of the semilunar meniscus of the knee; (2) elastic cartilage of the external ear; (3) hyaline cartilage of (a) the synovial joint (b) the thyroid plate of the larynx, and (c) the nasal septum. The predominant species of collagen in each tissue, whether type I or type II, was appraised semi-quantitatively by analysis of purified collagen solubilized by pepsin and of peptide fragments produced by cyanogen bromide. Cyanogen bromide-derived peptides were characterized by column chromatography on CM-cellulose and by electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gels. The proportion of each type of collagen was determined precisely by isolating the homologous small peptides alpha1(II)CB6 [nomenclature of Miller (1973) Clin. Orthop. 92, 260-280], by column chromatography on phosphocellulose and determining their relative proportions by amino acid analysis. Thus collagen of the fibrocartilage of the meniscus proved to be all type I; type II was not detected. In contrast, collagen of elastic cartilage of the outer ear, after rigorous exclusion of perichondrium, was type II. Similarly, type II was the only collagen detected in all the mature hyalline cartilages examined.

Abstract
1. The glycosylation of hydroxylysine during the biosynthesis of procollagen by embryonic chick tendon and cartilage cells was examined. When free and membrane-bound ribosomes isolated from cells labelled for 4min with [(14)C]lysine were assayed for hydroxy[(14)C]lysine and hydroxy[(14)C]lysine glycosides, it was found that hydroxylation took place only on membrane-bound ribosomes and that some synthesis of galactosylhydroxy[(14)C]lysine and glucosylgalactosylhydroxy[(14)C]lysine had occurred on the nascent peptides. 2. Assays of subcellular fractions isolated from tendon and cartilage cells labelled for 2h with [(14)C]lysine demonstrated that the glycosylation of procollagen polypeptides began in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. (14)C-labelled polypeptides present in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi fractions were glycosylated to extents almost identical with the respective secreted procollagens. 3. Assays specific for collagen galactosyltransferase and collagen glucosyltransferase are described, using as substrate chemically treated bovine anterior-lens-capsule collagen. 4. When homogenates were assayed for the collagen glycosyltransferase activities, addition of Triton X-100 (0.01%, w/v) was found to stimulate enzyme activities by up to 45%, suggesting that the enzymes were probably membrane-bound. 5. Assays of subcellular fractions obtained by differential centrifugation for collagen galactosyltransferase activity indicated the specific activity to be highest in the microsomal fractions. Similar results were obtained for collagen glucosyltransferase activity. 6. When submicrosomal fractions obtained by discontinuous-sucrose-density-gradient-centrifugation procedures were assayed for these enzymic activities, the collagen galactosyltransferase was found to be distributed in the approximate ratio 7:3 between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum of both cell types. Similar determinations of collagen glucosyltransferase indicated a distribution in the approximate ratio 3:2 between rough and smooth microsomal fractions. 7. Assays of subcellular fractions for the plasma-membrane marker 5'-nucleotidase revealed a distribution markedly different from the distributions obtained for the collagen glycosyltransferase. 8. The studies described here demonstrate that glycosylation occurs early in the intracellular processing of procollagen polypeptides rather than at the plasma membrane, as was previously suggested.

Abstract
An ultrastructural study of lung distinguised between lesions of the alveolar capillary basement membrane in a case of Good pasture's syndrome and in three cases of idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. In Goodpasture's syndrome, diffuse vascular injury with wide endothelial gaps, diffusely fragmented basement membranes and an electron dense layer on the basement membrane was found. In idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis, focal ruptures of the basement membrane were associated with hydropic changes in pneumocytes and, although fibroblasts were not seen, collagen deposition occurred within the basement membrane. immunofluorescent studies failed to show deposition of immunoglobulins G (IgG), A (IgA), M (IgM) or C3 in the lung in either disease. The ultrastructural lesions appear to separate these clinically similar entities.

Abstract
The penetration of tritiated bacterial endotoxin through nonkeratinized oral mucosal epithelium was studied using an in vitro model system and radioautographic tracer techniques. The basement membrane region of the epithelium was the rate-limiting barrier to penetration, and this barrier effect was independent of the direction and duration of penetration as well as any clearance effects of the vasculature.

Abstract
Glucosylation of galactosylhydroxylysyl residues in various collagen polypeptide chains and in small peptides prepared from collagen was studied in vitro using collagen glucosyltransferase purified about 200 to 500-fold from extract prepared from chick embryos. When various denatured polypeptide or peptide chains were compared as substrates for the enzyme, no significant differences were found between citrate-soluble collagens from normal or lathyritic rats and isolated alpha1 and alpha2 chains. In contrast, gelatinized insoluble calf skin collagen, and peptides prepared from collagen and having an average molecular weight of about 500 were clearly less effective substrates as judged from their Km and V values. A marked difference was found between native and heat-denatured citrate-soluble collagen in that no synthesis of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine was observed with the native collagen when the reaction was studied at 30 degrees C with different times, enzyme concentrations, and substrate concentrations. When the reaction was studied as a function of temperature, little glucosylation of native collagen was observed below 37 degrees C, but there was a sharp transition in the rate of glucosylation of native collagen at temperatures above 37 degrees C, similar to that observable in the melting curve of collagen. The data suggest that triple-helical conformation of collagen prevents that glucosylation of galactosylhydroxylysyl residues.

Abstract
The molecule of type I collagen from skin consists of two alpha1(I)-chains and one alpha2-chain. The sequence of the entire alpha1-chain comprising 1052 residues is summarily presented and discussed. Apart from the 279 residues of alpha1(I)-CB8 whose sequence has been established for rat skin collagen, all sequences have been determined for calf skin collagen. In order to facilitate sequence analysis, the alpha1-chain was cleaved into defined fragments by cyanogen bromide or hydroxylamine or limited collagenase digestion. Most of the sequence was established by automated stepwise Edman degradation. The alpha1-chain contains two basically different types of sequences: the triple helical region of 1011 amino acid residues in which every third position is occupied by glycine and the N- and C-terminal regions not displaying this type of regularity. Both of these non-triple helical regions carry oxidizable lysine or hydroxylysine residues as functional sites for the intermolecular crosslink formation. Implications of the amino acid sequence for the stability of the triple helix and the fibril as well as for formation of crosslinks are discussed. Evaluation of the sequence in connection with electron microscopical investigations yielded the parameters of the axial arrangement of the molecules within the fibrils. Axial stagger of the molecules by a distance D = 670 angstrom = 233 amino acid residues results in maximal interaction of polar sequence regions of adjacent molecules and similarly of regions of hydrophobic residues. Ordered aggregation of molecules into fibrils is, therefore, regulated by electrostatic and electrophobic forces. Possible loci of intermolecular crosslinks between the alpha1-chains of adjacent molecules may be deduced from the dimensions of the axial aggregation of molecules.

Abstract
Using indirect immunofluorescence technique, 21 cases of hepatic cirrhosis of differing etiology were studied with type-specific antibodies to collagen type I, II, and III. In all cases the fibrous septa and portal tracts showed an increase in type III collagen. No fluorescence could be observed with antibodies to collagen type I and II. Thus, biochemical studies are supported which show, in addition to type III collagen, a new, as yet undescribed type of collagen in liver cirrhosis that is similar to type I collagen electronmicroscopically, but differs from type I collagen biochemically and immunologically. No correlation between the etiology of cirrhosis and the pattern of different collagen types could be found. The origin of different collagen types in liver cirrhosis is briefly discussed.

Abstract
Dipyridyl inhibits the morphogenesis of tooth germs, but the germs recover when transferred to control medium. In this study, the effect of dipyridyl on basement membrane was investigated in vitro. The basal lamina was always present, but the subjacent collagen fibrils disappeared in the presence of dipyridyl and reappeared during recovery in control medium.

Abstract
Basement membranes are extracellular matrices synthesized by a variety of cells including the basal cells of the epidermis; the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and glandular epithelium; the capillary endothelium; the epithelial cells of the glomerulus, the renal tubule, and the lens capsule; and the endothelium of Descemet's membrane. Basement membranes in the mature animal are free of lipids, DNA, and proteoglycans and are composed of dissimilar protein subunits. One of these is a procollagen-like molecule associated with a noncollagenous matrix glycoprotein. The proportion of the latter component varies among basement membranes. These various subunits are stabilized by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds, and aldehyde-derived cross-links which are so extensive that they render the basement membranes highly insoluble. Immunochemical studies indicate three distinct antigenic components which correspond to the collagenous moiety, its nonhelical extension, and the matrix glycoprotein. The collagen component of basement membranes, free of the nonhelical extension, is composed of three identical alpha-chains. It is highly rich in hydroxylysine, 3- and 4-hydroxyproline and contains 4 to 8 residues of half-cystine. It contains 38 residues of glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine per chain and minimal amounts of mannose, glucosamine, and fucose. Newly synthesized basement membrane collagen is secreted in the extracellular space as the precursor molecule "procollagen." This molecule does not undergo conversion to collagen but interacts with the matrix glycoprotein to give rise to the appropriate structure.

Abstract
A technique is described for the rapid isolation of highly purified preparations of viable glomeruli from rat kidney cortex. The synthesis of protein as judged by the incorporation of [14C]proline into non-diffusible material was shown to be linear for up to 6 h. The synthesis of collagen, measured as non-diffusible 4-hydroxy[14C]proline, was also linear over this period but represented only a small proportion of total protein synthesis. Similar studies conducted in vivo confirmed that collagen synthesis accounted for less than 5% of total protein synthesis in glomeruli. When isolated glomeruli were incubated with [14C]proline, it was found that approximately 16% of the hydroxyproline present in the collagenous component occurred as the 3-isomer. When glomeruli were incubated with [14C]lysine over 90% of the hydroxy[14C]lysine synthesised was glycosylated and most of the glycosylated hydroxy[14C]lysine was present as glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxy[14C]lysine. The size of the basement membrane collagen synthesised by the isolated glomeruli was estimated by treating the 14C-labelled protein with mercaptoethanol and sodium dodecyl sulphate and then chromatographing the 14C-labelled protein on an agarose column equilibrated and eluted with buffer containing 0.1% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulphate. The initial form of [14C]collagen synthesised was found to consist of polypeptide chains which had molecular weights of approximately 140 000 and which were shown to be distinctly larger than the polypeptide chains from embryonic chick tendon procollagen. Also when glomeruli were labelled with [14C]proline for 2 h and chased with unlabelled proline for 4 h there was a time-dependent conversion of the initially synthesised collagen moiety to collagen polypeptide chains which co-chromatograph with tendon pro-alpha chains (molecular weight approx. 120 000).

Abstract
Glomeruli were isolated from rat renal cortex and incubated with radioactive lysine to study in vitro collagen synthesis in these preparations. Glomerular basement membrane was obtained by sonication, and the appearance of [-14C]lysine and hydroxylysine in medium, membrane and intracellular proteins was determined. Total glomerular incorporation of [-14C]lysine into protein linearly increased for up to 2-h period, and membrane hydroxylysine content gradually rose during this time. Hydroxy[-14C]lysine was recovered in the 105 000 times g pellet, reaching a hydroxylysine content of 22 percent in this intracellular fraction after 90 min of incubation. 60 percent of the protein secreted into the medium, and about 75 percent of newly synthesized sonicated basement membrane was acetic acid soluble. Hydroxylysine content was 33 percent in the acetic acid-insoluble fraction of sonicated membrane, suggesting that basement-membrane collagen was a significant component of total collagen synthesized by these preparation, The ability of isolated glomeruli to synthesize and secrete basement-membrane protein will be useful for studies concerning control of glomerular collagen and basement-membrane synthesis.

Abstract
1. A partial amino acid sequence of 95 residues of the 191 residues in the oxidized A chain of human subcomponent C1q was determined. The partial nature of the sequence is because one overlapping peptide is missing in the proposed sequence, also the proof of some of the overlapping peptides depends partly on their amino acid composition and not on their complete sequence. 2. This region of the A chain contained a repeating sequence of glycine-X-Y (where X is often proline and Y is often hydroxyproline) for 78 residues. 3. The five hydroxylysine residues and the five hydroxyproline residues present in the oxidized A chain were all in these 78 residues and only in the Y position of the repeating sequence. 4. Prolonged collagenase digestion of the oxidized A chain yielded a large, apparently C-terminal, peptide which contained most of the non-collagenous sequences present in the chain. 5. It is concluded that there is a collagen-like region in the A chain of subcomponent C1q which constitutes most of the N-terminal half of the chain and that similar collagen-like regions will be found in the B and C chains.
