Type IV collagen has been identified as the major component of basement membranes found in a variety of tissues [11. Recent studies [2-61 have indicated that basement membrane collagen is not a single protein but rather a group of related proteins, similar to the collagen types I, II and 111 of interstitial COIIIICC-tive tissue. A transplantable mouse tumor [7]!~ a< been used as a convenient source to purify and cbaracterize a soluble fortn of basement membrane collagen. It consisted of disulfide-bonded polypeptide chains (mol. wt 16-I 8 X 104) and resembled a procollagenlike protein [Xl. Pepsin degraded this material to several triple helical fragments giving rise to 5 distinct polypeptide chains (mol. wt 27-72 X 103). The data indicated that these fragments originate from two different type IV collagens [4]. A pepsin digest prepared from the insoluble tumor collagen contained the same fragments as found with the soluble collagen and some additional components [4] suggesting an even more complex nature of basement membrane collagen. Here we describe the isolation from the tumor of a large collagenous fragment Col I (IV) which resisted digestion with pepsin and collagenase. The chemical and immunological properties of Co1 l (1V) show that it is derived from a hitherto unrecognized additional species of type IV collagen.
