Analysis of type III collagen interactome suggests a “flexi-rod” model of fibril structure. Top: schematic of type III collagen fibril with sites for cell interactions and remodeling is flanked by intermolecular crosslinks (X) and a hemostasis domain (H). Bottom: Clusters of atypical collagen sequences of lower stability (springs) are interspersed with rigid zones (rods) hosting crucial biologic functions. Reprinted with permission from [74].
