Translation of collagen mRNAs on the membrane of the ER. (a) LARP6 independent, constitutive synthesis of type I collagen; (b) LARP6 dependent, highly productive synthesis. Collagen mRNAs are shown as thin dashed lines, translating ribosomes as dark ovals, collagen polypeptides as thick lines with posttranslational modifications indicated (OH, proline and lysine hydroxylations, GalGl, glycosylations). Dashed arrows point to folding of the triple helix.
