Collagen fibres from rat tail tendon suspended in small pieces in a solution (pH 7.8) containing 0.5 M CaCl2 were treated with purified bovine trypsin at 20 degrees C for 20 h. After the enzyme treatment collagen from this solution was precipitated out and reconstituted in vitro into native-type fibrils. The banding pattern in these reconstituted fibrils was found to be oblique. This is comparable to that observed recently in fibrils reconstituted from cartilage collagen. On the other hand, normal transverse banding pattern was observed in the fibrils reconstituted in vitro from collagen solution of rat tail tendon which was not pre-treated with trypsin. No significant change was, however, observed in the segment long spacing fibrils precipitated from the enzyme-treated collagen solution. It is possible that the enzyme might affect the mode of organization of tropocollagen molecules during in vitro fibrillogenesis into native-type fibrils either by interacting with the "telopeptide" regions or with the non-collagenous components associated with the native protein and this could probably result into the formation of fibrils with oblique banding pattern.
