Human dermis was digested with pepsin under conditions that maintain the helical conformation of the bulk of the collagen. Molecules containing α1(III) chains were separated from [α1(I)]2α2 collagen by differential salt precipitation at pH 7.5, with the use of the peptides produced by CNBr cleavage to monitor the composition of each fraction.The isolated molecules are composed of three α1(III) chains, and these chains are cross-linked by disulfide bonds. Exposure to dithiothreitol liberates the three apparently identical chains, and these elute on carboxymethylcellulose chromatography at a position intermediate between α1(I) and α2. The pepsin-resistant portion of these chains is the same size as that of previously isolated collagen chains.Human dermis was also digested with CNBr, and resultant α1(I) and α1(III) peptides were separated chromatographically. The relative quantities of these peptides indicate that α1(III) chains predominate in early fetal skin, but by birth and in later life α1(I) chains are approximately 3 times as plentiful.
