G3 domain-mediated organization of the aggrecan extracellular matrix. The model depicts how tenascin interaction through the lectican G3 domains may crosslink the proteoglycan aggregates and organize the extracellular matrix. Hyaluronan is shown in red (single red line forming the base), aggrecan in blue (core protein) with red glycosaminoglycan chains along the length of the core protein, link protein in green, and tenascin-C in black.
