Abstract
Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein was isolated in the native state from the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma. A crucial step was its selective extraction with EDTA-containing buffer. The purified protein was subjected to electron microscopy using rotary shadowing and negative stain. The images allowed the construction of a structural model. The bouquet-like protein consists of five 28-nm-long arms containing a peripheral globular domain, a flexible strand, and a central assembly domain, where the five arms meet in a cylindrical structure.Entities:
