Structural enzymology binding studies of the peptide-substrate-binding domain of human collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase (type-II): High affinity peptides have a PxGP sequence motif.

ABSTRACT: The peptide-substrate-binding (PSB) domain of collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase (C-P4H, an ?2 ?2 tetramer) binds proline-rich procollagen peptides. This helical domain (the middle domain of the ? subunit) has an important role concerning the substrate binding properties of C-P4H, although it is not known how the PSB domain influences the hydroxylation properties of the catalytic domain (the C-terminal domain of the ? subunit). The crystal structures of the PSB domain of the human C-P4H isoform II (PSB-II) complexed with and without various short proline-rich peptides are described. The comparison with the previously determined PSB-I peptide complex structures shows that the C-P4H-I substrate peptide (PPG)3 , has at most very weak affinity for PSB-II, although it binds with high affinity to PSB-I. The replacement of the middle PPG triplet of (PPG)3 to the nonhydroxylatable PAG, PRG, or PEG triplet, increases greatly the affinity of PSB-II for these peptides, leading to a deeper mode of binding, as compared to the previously determined PSB-I peptide complexes. In these PSB-II complexes, the two peptidyl prolines of its central P(A/R/E)GP region bind in the Pro5 and Pro8 binding pockets of the PSB peptide-binding groove, and direct hydrogen bonds are formed between the peptide and the side chains of the highly conserved residues Tyr158, Arg223, and Asn227, replacing water mediated interactions in the corresponding PSB-I complex. These results suggest that PxGP (where x is not a proline) is the common motif of proline-rich peptide sequences that bind with high affinity to PSB-II.

Project description:BackgroundWe describe a method for specific, quantitative and quick detection of human collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase (C-P4H), the key enzyme for collagen prolyl-4 hydroxylation, in crude samples based on a sandwich ELISA principle. The method is relevant to active C-P4H level monitoring during recombinant C-P4H and collagen production in different expression systems. The assay proves to be specific for the active C-P4H alpha2beta2 tetramer due to the use of antibodies against its both subunits. Thus in keeping with the method C-P4H is captured by coupled to an anti-alpha subunit antibody magnetic beads and an anti-beta subunit antibody binds to the PDI/beta subunit of the protein. Then the following holoenzyme detection is accomplished by a goat anti-rabbit IgG labeled with alkaline phosphatase which AP catalyzes the reaction of a substrate transformation with fluorescent signal generation.ResultsWe applied an experimental design approach for the optimization of the antibody concentrations used in the sandwich ELISA. The assay sensitivity was 0.1 ng of C-P4H. The method was utilized for the analysis of C-P4H accumulation in crude cell extracts of E. coli overexpressing C-P4H. The sandwich ELISA signals obtained demonstrated a very good correlation with the detected protein activity levels measured with the standard radioactive assay. The developed assay was applied to optimize C-P4H production in E. coli Origami in a system where the C-P4H subunits expression acted under control by different promoters. The experiments performed in a shake flask fed-batch system (EnBase) verified earlier observations that cell density and oxygen supply are critical factors for the use of the inducer anhydrotetracycline and thus for the soluble C-P4H yield.ConclusionsHere we show an example of sandwich ELISA usage for quantifying multimeric proteins. The method was developed for monitoring the amount of recombinant C-P4H tetramer in crude E. coli extracts. Due to the specificity of the antibodies used in the assay against the different C-P4H subunits, the method detects the entire holoenzyme, and the signal is not disturbed by background expression of the separate subunits.
