The different anatomical regions involved in osteogenesis in the chick long bone have been examined for heterogeneities in collagen structure that might relate to the mechanism of ossification. Experimentally induced lathyrism was employed to enhance collagen solubility, and vitamin D deficiency to allow accumulation of osteoid, the precursor of bone matrix. The extractable lathyritic collagens of the cartilaginous and osseous regions of growing long bones from rachitic and non-rachitic chicks were examined for alpha-chain type and amino acid composition. In both groups of animals the growth plate and cartilaginous regions of the epiphysis gave collagen molecules of the constitution [alpha1(II)](3), whereas the ossifying regions contained [alpha1(I)](2) alpha2. The degree of hydroxylation of the lysine moieties was increased by approximately 50% in the alpha1(I)-chain and alpha2-chain of rachitic bone collagen. Since uncalcified osteoid is greatly enriched in rachitic bone, it is concluded that the collagen of osteoid has the configuration [alpha1(I)](2) alpha2, similar to that of bone matrix, but has an elevated hydroxylysine content. The possible relationship of this difference to the mechanism of calcification is discussed.  相似文献

The degree of hydroxylation of the lysine residue located in both alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-chains of collagen in the N-terminal, non-helical telopeptide region of the molecule has been determined in collagen from various sources after isolation of the peptides (alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-CB1) that contain the lysine residue in question and are obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage of collagen alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-chains respectively. As with collagen from chick tibia, bone collagens from rat tibia and femur and embryonic chick frontal bone, have a high degree of hydroxylation (approx. 50% or more) of the lysine residue in both alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-CB1 peptides. This is in contrast with the lack of hydroxylation of this residue in both alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-chains of all skin collagens so far examined. The presence of hydroxylysine in alpha(1)- and alpha(2)-CB1 peptides from tendon collagen is also indicated. In rat tail tendon collagen the amount of hydroxylation is only slight but in the much less soluble tendon collagen from embryonic chick leg tendons, approximately one-third of the lysine is hydroxylated.  相似文献

The effect of age on the extent of hydroxylation of lysine and proline both generally and at certain specific sites in collagens from bone, skin and tendon was examined in the chick from the 14-day embryo to the 18-month-old adult. For all collagens there was a marked fall in the overall extent of hydroxylation of lysine with increasing age in both alpha(1) and alpha(2) chains, this fall occurring mostly in a relatively short period immediately after hatching. Hydroxylation of lysine declined to a constant value which, as expected, differed appreciably for each collagen and was considered to be characteristic of the collagen according to its tissue of origin. Hydroxylation of lysine in the N-terminal, non-helical telopeptide region of both alpha(1) and alpha(2) chains, which is important with regard to cross-linking, was relatively high in embryonic collagens. There was, however, a rapid loss of hydroxylation at these sites in skin collagen, occurring both during development of the embryo and in the period immediately after hatching. In contrast some hydroxylation at these sites persisted in bone and tendon collagens and, as judged by examination of peptide alpha(1)-CB1, appeared to reach a constant value in time of about 33% in bone and about 15% in tendon collagen. The actual extent of hydroxylation of lysine in the N-terminal telopeptides and the size of the changes in these values with age appeared to be unrelated to the corresponding whole-chain values, and it is suggested therefore that hydroxylation of telopeptidyl lysine may be under separate enzymic control. The increased hydroxylation of lysine in the embryo was accompanied by only minimal changes in proline hydroxylation, which was very slightly increased in embryonic bone and tendon collagens. Increased hydroxylation of proline in the embryo was, however, readily observed in peptide alpha(1)-CB2 from the helical region of tendon collagen. This hydroxylation was close to the theoretical maximum, in contrast with that observed in post-embryonic tendon, where hydroxylation was incomplete, as in rat tendon (Bornstein, 1967), only four on average, of the six susceptible proline residues being hydroxylated.  相似文献

A hydroxylysine-rich type I collagen has been isolated from pepsin-digested porcine heart valve. The ratio of alpha1 to alpha2 in the isolated molecule was 2:1. The component alpha chains exhibited unusual chromatographic behavior in comparison to corresponding chains from human dermis and lathyritic rat skin collagen. The composition of component cyanogen bromide peptides identified the alpha chains as authentic type I chains and demonstrated hydroxylysine enrichment throughout the length of the chain. delta6-Dehydro-5,5'dihydroxylysinonorleucine, a collagen cross-link derived from two hydroxylysyl residues and ordinarily found in hard tissue collagens was found to be the predominant cross-link in heart valve.  相似文献

1. The solubilization of collagen and protein-polysaccharides from the developing cartilage of normal and lathyritic chicks was studied by using mild extraction procedures. One-third of the protein-polysaccharides could be solubilized in salt solutions at neutral pH from normal cartilage, whereas 95-100% could be extracted from the cartilage of animals that were severely lathyritic. Likewise, whereas in normal animals the collagen of cartilage was essentially insoluble in salt solutions at neutral pH, in lathyritic animals it was almost completely soluble. 2. The increased solubility of the collagen of cartilage from lathyritic animals enabled sufficient material to be collected so that the pure alpha1 chains of the collagen were isolated by repeated reconstitution, precipitation and CM-cellulose column chromatography. The purified alpha1 component was characterized by its relatively high content of hydroxylysine (14 residues/1000 amino acids). 3. About 37% of the collagen from the cartilage of normal chick embryos could be extracted as the gelatin at pH7.4 in lithium chloride solution. This was accompanied by the extraction of approx. 14% of the protein-polysaccharide content. 4. The protein-polysaccharides and the collagen from normal animals could be extracted from the cartilage relatively independently of one another under mild conditions. These same components obtained from lathyritic animals easily separated from one another after solubilization. This provided evidence that the two components are probably not covalently cross-linked. 5. The collagen of cartilage extracted as a gelatin from normal animals contained a high proportion of alpha chains compared with beta dimers, similar to the lathyritic collagen of cartilage and other tissues, and similar to the gelatin extracted from normal chick bone.  相似文献

Lysyl hydroxylase (LH), with three isoenzymes in vertebrates, catalyzes the formation of hydroxylysine by acting on -X-Lys-Gly- triplets in the collagenous domains of proteins of the collagen superfamily and also in -X-Lys-Ala- or -X-Lys-Ser- sequences in the telopeptides located at the ends of the polypeptide chains in some fibril-forming collagens. The hydroxylysine residues are essential for the stability of collagen crosslinks and act as carbohydrate attachment sites. The extent of lysine hydroxylation varies between collagen types, between tissues in the same collagen type and in certain diseases, suggesting that the LH isoenzymes may have different substrate specificities. We studied here the hydroxylation of synthetic peptides representing various hydroxylation sites in type I and IV collagens by purified recombinant LHs in vitro and of a recombinant full-length type I procollagen chain coexpressed with each LH in insect cells. All three LHs hydroxylated peptides representing collagenous sequences of type I and IV collagens, although with different K(m) and V(max) values. Furthermore, all three hydroxylated the collagenous domain of the coexpressed type I procollagen chain to a similar extent. None of the isoenzymes hydroxylated peptides representing the N and C telopeptides of type I collagen, but LH2, unlike the other two isoenzymes, hydroxylated the N telopeptide in the coexpressed procollagen chain. Hydroxylation of the telopeptide lysines by LH2 thus occurs only in the context of a long peptide. These data provide the first direct evidence that LH2 is a specific telopeptide hydroxylase, while all three LHs act on collagenous sequences.  相似文献

Both the type I and type III collagens present in embryonic dermis are stabilized by the intermolecular cross-link, hydroxylysino-5-oxonorleucine, derived from hydroxylysine-aldehyde, although the type I collagen possesses a significant proportion of dehydrohydroxylysinonorleucine. However, concurrent with the change in the proportion of the two types of collagen during postnatal development there is a change-over with both type I and III collagens to the labile cross-link, dehydrohydroxylysinonorleucine, derived from lysine aldehyde. The results indicate that the change in the nature of the cross-link with development is determined primarily by the change in the extent of hydroxylation of the lysine residues in the terminal non-helical regions rather than being due to the change in the type of collagen.  相似文献

The effects in vivo of dichloromethanediphosphonate and 1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonate on collagen solubility, hydroxylation of lysine and proline and on the formation of collagen intermolecular cross-links were studied by using rat bone, cartilage and skin tissues. Dichloromethanediphosphonate decreased bone collagen solubility both in acetic acid and after pepsin treatment. Although none of the diphosphonates had any effect on the hydroxylation of proline, dichloromethane-diphosphonate, but not 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonate, increased the number of hydroxylysine residues in the alpha-chains of bone, skin and cartilage collagen. The stimulatory effect was dose-dependent. The dichloromethanediphosphonate-mediated increase in hydroxylysine residues in bone and cartilage was manifested in an increase of dihydroxylysinonorleucine, the cross-link that is formed by the condensation of two hydroxylysine residues. The cross-link hydroxylysinonorleucine, a condensation product of hydroxylysine and lysine, on the other hand, was decreased. The total number of intermolecular cross-links was not changed by the diphosphonate.  相似文献

Collagen defects in lethal perinatal osteogenesis imperfecta.   总被引:15,自引:3,他引:12       下载免费PDF全文
Quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of collagen were observed in tissues and fibroblast cultures from 17 consecutive cases of lethal perinatal osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The content of type I collagen was reduced in OI dermis and bone and the content of type III collagen was also reduced in the dermis. Normal bone contained 99.3% type I and 0.7% type V collagen whereas OI bone contained a lower proportion of type I, a greater proportion of type V and a significant amount of type III collagen. The type III and V collagens appeared to be structurally normal. In contrast, abnormal type I collagen chains, which migrated slowly on electrophoresis, were observed in all babies with OI. Cultured fibroblasts from five babies produced a mixture of normal and abnormal type I collagens; the abnormal collagen was not secreted in two cases and was slowly secreted in the others. Fibroblasts from 12 babies produced only abnormal type I collagens and they were also secreted slowly. The slower electrophoretic migration of the abnormal chains was due to enzymic overmodification of the lysine residues. The distribution of the cyanogen bromide peptides containing the overmodified residues was used to localize the underlying structural abnormalities to three regions of the type I procollagen chains. These regions included the carboxy-propeptide of the pro alpha 1(I)-chain, the helical alpha 1(I) CB7 peptide and the helical alpha 1(I) CB8 and CB3 peptides. In one baby a basic charge mutation was observed in the alpha 1(I) CB7 peptide and in another baby a basic charge mutation was observed in the alpha 1(I) CB8 peptide. The primary defects in lethal perinatal OI appear to reside in the type I collagen chains. Type III and V collagens did not appear to compensate for the deficiency of type I collagen in the tissues.  相似文献

[Alpha 1(III)]3 collagen was solubilized by pepsin digestion of normal human placental membranes and was purified by differential salt precipitation and carboxymethylcellulose chromatography. This collagen was digested with CNBr, and the resultant nine peptides were isolated and characterized. The chains are cross-linked by cysteinyl residues in the COOH-terminal peptide. Isolation of peptides derived from CNBr digestion of insoluble tissues was used as an assay for the presence of [alpha 1(I)]2alpha 2 and [alpha 1(III)]3 collagens. Both types are present in human skin, intestine, liver, spleen, kidney, lung, aorta, umbilical cord, placental membranes, and myocardium. Bone and tendon contain [alpha 1(I)]2alpha 2 collagen but, unlike the other tissues, lack [alpha 1(III)]3 collagen. Both [alpha 1(I)]2alpha 2 and[alpha 1(III)]3 collagens are present in scars of human skin, myocardium, tendon, and liver and of rabbit skin. The degree of hydroxylation of proline was 4 to 5% lower in the same peptides in skin, bone, and tendon than in the other tissues. The degree of hydroxylation of lysine in the same peptides derived from different tissues varied more widely.  相似文献

It has been previously shown that dermis from subjects with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen contains approximately 5% of normal levels of hydroxylysine and sonicates of skin fibroblasts contain less than 15% of normal levels of collagen lysyl hydroxylase activity. However, cultures of dermal fibroblasts from two siblings with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type VI) compared to fibroblasts from normal subjects synthesize collagen containing approximately 50% of normal amounts of hydroxylysine. The lysyl hydroxylase deficient cultures synthesize both Type I and Type III collagen in the same proportion as control cultures. Both alpha 1(I) and alpha 2 chains are similarly reduced in hydroxylysine content. Collagen prolyl hydroxylation by normal collagen lysyl hydroxylation is the same with or without ascorbate supplementation. In mutant cells the rate of prolyl hydroxylation measured after release of inhibition by alpha, alpha'-dipyridyl is the same as in control cells. The rate of lysyl hydroxylation is reduced in mutant cells but only to approximately 50% of normal.  相似文献

The collagens were studied in 13 normal and 19 myxomatous human mitral valves. The collagens of the valve were completely solubilized by using a method consisting of guanidinium chloride extraction, limited pepsin digestions and CNBr cleavage of the residue. The normal valves contained 74% type I, 24% type III and 2% type V collagen. The type I and type III collagens had similar solubility patterns, although only type I collagen was detected in the guanidinium chloride extract. Type V collagen was only detected in the first pepsin extract. The type I and III collagens had higher contents of hydroxylysine than did the same collagens from age-matched dermis. The two-dimensional electrophoretic 'maps' of CNBr-cleavage peptides showed low recoveries of the C-terminal alpha 1(I) CB6 and alpha 1(III) CB9 peptides, which are involved in forming intermolecular cross-linkages. Most of the reducible cross-linkages were present in large-Mr peptide complexes, and these complexes were shown by labelling with 125I to include the tyrosine-containing alpha 1(I) CB6 peptide. The myxomatous valves contained 67% type I, 31% type III and 2% type V collagens. There was a significant increase in the concentration of each type of collagen, which consisted of a 9% increase of type I collagen, a 53% increase of type III collagen and a 25% increase of type V collagen. The contents of hydroxylysine in type I and III collagens and the electrophoretic 'maps' of the CNBr-cleavage peptides involved in cross-linkages did not differ significantly from the results obtained from the normal valves. The biochemical findings suggest that there is an increased production of collagen, in particular type III collagen, and glycosaminoglycan as well as a proliferation of cells as part of a repair process in the myxomatous valves.  相似文献

Collagens, the most abundant proteins in animals, are modified by hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues and by glycosylation of hydroxylysine. Dedicated prolyl hydroxylase, lysyl hydroxylase, and collagen glycosyltransferase enzymes localized in the endoplasmic reticulum mediate these modifications prior to the formation of the collagen triple helix. Whereas collagen-like proteins have been described in some fungi, bacteria, and viruses, the post-translational machinery modifying collagens has never been described outside of animals. We demonstrate that the L230 open reading frame of the giant virus Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus encodes an enzyme that has distinct lysyl hydroxylase and collagen glycosyltransferase domains. We show that mimivirus L230 is capable of hydroxylating lysine and glycosylating the resulting hydroxylysine residues in a native mimivirus collagen acceptor substrate. Whereas in animals from sponges to humans the transfer of galactose to hydroxylysine in collagen is conserved, the mimivirus L230 enzyme transfers glucose to hydroxylysine, thereby defining a novel type of collagen glycosylation in nature. The presence of hydroxylysine in mimivirus proteins was confirmed by amino acid analysis of mimivirus recovered from A. polyphaga cultures. This work shows for the first time that collagen post-translational modifications are not confined to the domains of life. The utilization of glucose instead of the galactose found throughout animals as well as a bifunctional enzyme rather than two separate enzymes may represent a parallel evolutionary track in collagen biology. These results suggest that giant viruses may have contributed to the evolution of collagen biology.  相似文献

Structurally abnormal type I collagen was identified in the dermis, bone, and cultured fibroblasts obtained from a baby with lethal perinatal osteogenesis imperfecta. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the CNBr peptides demonstrated that the alpha 1(I)CB7 peptide from the alpha 1(I)-chain of type I collagen existed in a normal form and a mutant form with a more basic charge distribution. This heterozygous peptide defect was not detected in the collagens from either parent. The defect was localized to a 224-residue region at the NH2 terminus of the alpha 1(I)CB7 peptide by mammalian collagenase digestion. Analysis of unhydroxylated collagens produced in cell culture indicated that the mutant alpha 1(I)CB7 migrated faster on electrophoresis suggesting that the abnormality may be a small deletion or a mutation that alters sodium dodecyl sulfate binding. The post-translational hydroxylation of lysine residues was increased in the CB7 peptide and also in peptides CB3 and CB8 which are toward the NH2 terminus of the alpha 1(I)-chain. The COOH-terminal CB6 peptide was normally hydroxylated. These findings support the proposal that the lysine overhydroxylation resulted from a perturbation of helix propagation from the COOH to NH2 terminus of the collagen trimer caused by the structural defect in alpha 1(I)CB7.  相似文献

Scale and bone type I collagens of carp (Cyprinus carpio).   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
1. Soluble Type I collagens were isolated from the scale and bone (skull) of lathyritic carp. Each tissue collagen was assumed to consist of two different molecular forms, (alpha 1)2 alpha 2 as a main component and alpha 1 alpha 2 alpha 3 as a minor one. 2. The possible coexistence of these two forms in soluble Type I collagen of carp was previously observed for skin and muscle, but not for the swim bladder in which only the form of (alpha 1)2 alpha 2 was found. 3. These composite results suggest the wide distribution of alpha 1 alpha 2 alpha 3 heterotrimers in collagenous tissues of carp.  相似文献

Cultured skin fibroblasts from seven consecutive cases of lethal perinatal osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) expressed defects of type I collagen metabolism. The secretion of [14C]proline-labelled collagen by the OI cells was specifically reduced (51-79% of control), and collagen degradation was increased to twice that of control cells in five cases and increased by approx. 30% in the other two cases. Sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis revealed that four of the OI cell lines produced two forms of type I collagen consisting of both normally and slowly migrating forms of the alpha 1(I)- and alpha 2(I)-chains. In the other three OI cell lines only the 'slow' alpha (I)'- and alpha 2(I)'-chains were detected. In both groups inhibition of the post-translational modifications of proline and lysine resulted in the production of a single species of type I collagen with normal electrophoretic migration. Proline hydroxylation was normal, but the hydroxylysine contents of alpha 1(I)'- and alpha 2(I)'-chains purified by h.p.l.c. were greater than in control alpha-chains. The glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine content was increased approx. 3-fold while the galactosylhydroxylysine content was only slightly increased in the alpha 1(I)'-chains relative to control alpha 1(I)-chains. Peptide mapping of the CNBr-cleavage peptides provided evidence that the increased post-translational modifications were distributed throughout the alpha 1(I)'- and alpha 2(I)'-chains. It is postulated that the greater modification of these chains was due to structural defects of the alpha-chains leading to delayed helix formation. The abnormal charge heterogeneity observed in the alpha 1 CB8 peptide of one patient may reflect such a structural defect in the type I collagen molecule.  相似文献

The FBJ osteosarcoma (a virus-induced osteosarcoma named after its discoverers, Finkel, Biskis, and Jinkins) contains an extensive extracellular matrix. Collagens were extracted by digestion with pepsin in dilute acetic acid from tumors grown in lathyritic mice and fractionated by differential salt precipitation, yielding five fractions. Fraction 1 (precipitated at acidic 0.7 M and neutral 2.0 M NaCl) gave rise mainly to alpha 1(III) chain on phosphocellulose column chromatography. The alpha 1(III) chain was identified by its typical behavior on interrupted electrophoresis and analysis of the CNBr-cleaved peptides. The alpha 1(III) chain of the FBJ tumor had a high content of hydroxylysine and neutral saccharide. Fraction 2 (precipitated at acidic 0.7 M and neutral 4.5 M NaCl) yielded alpha 1(I) and alpha 2(I) chains on the phosphocellulose column from which alpha 1(I) was eluted as a broad peak, conceivably reflecting a high content of hydroxylysine and neutral saccharide. Fraction 4 (precipitated at acidic 1.2 M and neutral 4.5 M NaCl) yielded type V collagen, which also featured an exceptionally high content of neutral saccharide (Yamagata, S., et al. (1982) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 105, 1208-1214). The proportions of type I, type I trimer, type III, and type V collagens extracted by pepsin digestion from FBJ tumor were calculated to be 33, 29, 26, and 12%, respectively. The FBJ tumor is free from invasion by blood vessels, shows no deposition of calcium, and thus has the appearance of cartilage. But type II collagen, a specific gene product of cartilage, could not be identified in any of the fractions analyzed. Contrary to its appearance, collagen type analyses indicate that FBJ osteosarcoma is literally induced from osteogenic cells.  相似文献

The normal chemical features of peripheral nerve collagens were determined on postmortem, histologically normal adult human femoral nerve. 1. Genetically distinct type I, [alpha1(I)2]alpha2, and type III, [alpha1(III)]3, were isolated by differential salt precipitation and the component subunit chains, alphal(I), alpha2 and alphal(III) were obtained by ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. 2. The molecular weight of alphal(I) and alpha2 of type I collagen was 95 000 and that for type III was 280 000. Reduction of type III with dithiothreitol yielded expected alpha1(III) chains of 95 000 molecular weight. 3. The amino acid composition of the three collagen chains, alpha1(I), alpha2, and alpha1(III), was the same as previously reported values for the corresponding chains from human skin except for slightly elevated hydroxylysine content. 4. Peripheral nerve collagen was found to contain 81% type I collagen and 19% type III. These results indicate that peripheral nerve collagen characteristics closely simulate that of human skin and differ from that of human aorta and other parenchymal organs. These data will permit a chemical analysis for possible abnormalities of peripheral nerve collagen in various neurogenic disorders.  相似文献

Acid-soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin solubilized collagen (PSC) isolated and purified from alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) bone were studied for molecular size, amino acid profile, secondary structure, and denaturation temperature by SDS-PAGE, HPLC, circular dichroism, and viscometry. Two collagen subunits, alpha1 and alpha2 were identified by SDS-PAGE. The molecular masses for alpha1 and alpha2 chains of ASC were 124 kDa and 111 kDa, respectively. The molecular masses were 123 kDa for alpha1 and 110 kDa for alpha2 chains of the PSC preparation. The molecular masses for ([alpha1](2) alpha2) of ASC and PSC were 359 kDa and 356 kDa, respectively. The major composition of alligator bone ASC and PSC was found to be typical type I collagen. The amino acid profiles of alligator ASC and PSC were similar to amino acid profile of subtropical fish black drum (Pogonias cromis, Sciaenidae) bone. Comparison of amino acid profiles with shark cartilage PSC, showed differences in alanine, hydroxylysine, lysine, and histidine contents. The denaturation temperatures (T(d)) of alligator ASC and PSC collagen measured by viscometry were 38.1 and 38.2 degrees C, respectively. Thermal denaturation temperatures, measured by melting point using circular dichroism, were 37.6 and 37.9 degrees C, respectively. Taken together, these results suggest that alligator bone collagen may find a wide range of applications in biological research, functional foods and nutraceuticals, and biomedical and pharmaceutical research.  相似文献

THE hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in collagen are synthesized by hydroxylation of proline and lysine after these amino-acids have been incorporated into peptide linkages (for review see ref. 1). Experiments with embryonic cartilage in vitro in which the hydroxylases were intermittently inhibited demonstrated that the hydroxylations can occur after the proline-rich and lysine-rich polypeptide precursor protocollagen is released from ribosomal complexes1,2. There has been controversy, however, over the question of whether in uninhibited systems the hydroxylation of the appropriate prolyl and lysyl residues occurs while nascent polypeptide chains are still being assembled on ribosomes1,3,4.  相似文献
