Abstract

Fibril-associated collagens (FACITs) form one of subfamilies included in family of collagens. Being minor components of connective tissue of multicellular animals, FACITs play an important role in structurization of extracellular matrix whose peculiarities determine essential intertissue differences. FACITs participate in regulation of sizes of banded collagen fibrils as well as are connecting links between various components extracellular matrix and cells in different tissues. Functional characteristics of FACIT molecules are determined by peculiarities of structural organization of their α-chains (breakdowns in collagenous domains and module structure of N-terminal noncollagenous sites), trimeric molecules (domains of trimerization) and supramolecular assemblies (mainly association with banded collagen fibrils and the inability to form homopolymeric supramolecular aggregates). The problem of evolution of this group of collagen molecules is also discussed. A hypothetical model of structural changes leading to formation of the FACIT subfamily is proposed.
