Collagen XXII binds to collagen-binding integrins via the novel motifs GLQGER and GFKGER
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Collagen XXII, a FACIT (fibril-associated collagen with interrupted triple helices), is expressed at the myotendinous junction and the articular surface of joint cartilage. Cellular receptors like collagen-binding integrins are known to bind collagens with distinct binding motifs following the sequence GXOGER. In the present study, we demonstrate the sequences GLQGER and GFKGER as novel binding motifs between collagen XXII and collagen-binding integrins, especially α2β1 integrin. Solid-phase assays and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy revealed a direct interaction between α2β1 integrin and the motif GFKGER. In addition, immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated partial co-localization of collagen XXII, α2β1 integrin and α11β1 integrin at the myotendinous junction. Furthermore, computational modelling of the motifs GLQGER and GFKGER showed perfect fitting of the sequences into the binding pocket of collagen-binding integrins. Taken together, we demonstrated that collagen XXII interacts with collagen-binding integrins via the new motifs GLQGER and GFKGER.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
