High impact information on FMOD

  • A collagen-binding 59-kd protein (fibromodulin) is structurally related to the small interstitial proteoglycans PG-S1 and PG-S2 (decorin) [1].
  • The cleavage product obtained after MMP-13 digestion was identical to that observed in cleaved fibromodulin from cartilage explant cultures stimulated with interleukin-1 [2].
  • Cleavage removes the tyrosine sulfate-rich region in the N terminus of fibromodulin [2].
  • Fibromodulin, a member of the leucine-rich repeat protein family, is one predominant protein in cartilage and is known for its roles in the formation of collagen fibrils and sustained interaction with these formed fibers [2].
  • The deduced keratocan amino acid sequence is unique but related to two other keratan sulfate-containing proteins, lumican (the 37B core protein) and fibromodulin [3].
 

Biological context of FMOD

 

Anatomical context of FMOD

  • The small keratan sulfate-substituted proteoglycan (fibromodulin) from articular cartilage was shown to contain keratan sulfate linked to the core protein through N-glycosidic linkages to residues Asn-109, Asn-147, Asn-182, and Asn-272 [8].
  • Biosynthetic experiments with articular chondrocytes in the presence of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-linked oligosaccharide synthesis, demonstrated a specific inhibition of [35S]SO4 incorporation into fibromodulin [8].
  • Thus fibromodulin from cartilage, tendon, and sclera contains N-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides, some of which are extended to keratan sulfate chains [4].
  • Among a large number of secreted fibroblast products, decorin and fibromodulin represented the vast majority of the collagen binding components [5].
  • The small proteoglycans, decorin, fibromodulin, biglycan, and lumican, represent a family of structurally related but genetically distinct molecules present in many types of connective tissues [5].
