Using various types of DNAs prepared from plasmid DNA, complete double-stranded DNA (ds.DNA) with linear and cyclic forms and double-stranded DNA coexisting with single-stranded DNA (ss.DNA), the structure and fibrillogenesis of the collagen-DNA complex were investigated by means of turbidity, transmission I electron microscopy, and confocal laser-scanning microscopy. The rate of fibrillogenesis of the collagen-DNA complex significantly depends on the DNA structure. The structure of the fibrils formed in the complexes showed a marked difference between the ds.DNA and ss.DNA complexes with collagen. Spatial distribution of the DNA and collagen in the complexes suggests that the characteristic collagen-DNA interaction depends on the DNA forms. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
