A sequence comparison of the C-termini of collagens X, VIII, the collagen-like complement factor C1q, and the fibrillar collagens showed a conserved cluster of aromatic residues. This conserved cluster was in a domain of approximately 130 amino acids that exhibited marked similarities in hydrophilicity profiles between the different collagens, despite a low level of sequence similarity. These data suggest that the 'collagen X-like family' and the fibrillar collagens contain a domain within their C-termini that adopts a common tertiary structure, and that a conserved cluster of aromatic residues in this domain may be involved in C-terminal trimerization.
