Superoxide-induced Type I collagen secretion depends on prolyl 4-hydroxylases.

ABSTRACT: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) including superoxide (O₂^•-) play an important role in a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease, cancer, and atherosclerosis. Early reports showed that O₂^•- is a stimulant for collagen synthesis. However, the mechanism remains incompletely understood. Here we showed that LY83583 (6-anilinoquinoline-5,8-quinone), a substance known to induce O₂^•- production by smooth muscle cell (SMC), increases Type I collagen secretion. This effect could be blocked by treating the cells with Tiron, a scavenger for O₂^•-. LY83583-induced Type I collagen secretion required P4HA1 and P4HA2. Knockout of either P4ha1 or P4ha2 greatly reduced LY83583-stimulated Type I collagen maturation whereas silencing of both P4ha1 and P4ha2 completely blocked LY83583-induced Type I collagen maturation. Although significantly more hydroxyproline on purified Type I collagen was detected from LY83583 treated mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells by mass spectrometry, the level of prolyl 4-hydroxylases was not altered. Thus, LY83583 might increase the enzymatic activity of prolyl 4-hydroxylases to increase Type I collagen maturation. In addition, we found that LY83583 activated prolyl 4-hydrolases differed from ascorbate-activated prolyl 4-hydroxylase in two aspects: (1) LY83583 activated both P4HA1 and P4HA2 involved in collagen maturation whereas ascorbate mainly stimulated P4HA1 in collagen maturation; (2) LY83583 did not induce N259 glycosylation on P4HA1 as ascorbate did. The mechanisms remain to be investigated.

Project description:The hydroxylation of proline residues to 4-trans-hydroxyproline (Hyp) is a common post-translational protein modification in plants, mediated by prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs). Hyps predominantly occur in a group of cell wall proteins, the Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs), where they are frequently O-glycosylated. While prolyl-hydroxylation and O-glycosylation are important, e.g. for cell wall stability, they are not desirable in plant-made pharmaceuticals. Sequence motifs recognized for prolyl-hydroxylation derived from vascular plants were proposed but did not include data from mosses, such as Physcomitrella. Here, a phylogenetic reconstruction of plant P4Hs identified six P4Hs in four subfamilies in mosses. We analysed the amino acid sequences and structural environments around Hyps in Physcomitrella utilizing 73 Hyp sites in 24 secretory proteins from multiple MS/MS datasets, and found that prolines in close proximity to other prolines, alanine, serine, threonine and valine were preferentially hydroxylated. About 95 % of the Hyp sites were predictable with a combination of previously defined motifs and methods. In our data, AOV (Ala-Hyp-Val) was the most frequent prolyl-hydroxylation pattern. Additionally, short arabinose chains were attached to Hyps in two cell-wall pectinesterases. A combination of 443 AlphaFold structure models and our MS data of peptides with nearly 3000 proline sites found Hyps predominantly on protein surfaces in disordered regions. Moss-produced human erythropoietin (EPO) exhibited plant-specific O-glycosylation with arabinose chains on two Hyps. This modification was significantly reduced in a P4H1 single knock-out (KO) Physcomitrella mutant. Quantitative proteomics after isotope labelling with different P4H-KO moss mutants revealed specific changes in the amount of proteins, including HRGPs, and a modified prolyl-hydroxylation pattern from the mutants, suggesting a differential function of the six Physcomitrella P4Hs. Quantitative RT-PCR proved a differential effect of single P4H KOs on the expression of the other five p4h genes, suggesting a partial compensation of the mutation. AlphaFold-Multimer models for Physcomitrella P4H1 and its target EPO peptide superposed with the crystal structure of Chlamydomonas P4H1 and a peptide substrate suggested significant amino acids in the active centre of the enzyme that form H-bonds with the peptide substrate, and revealed differences between P4H1 and the other five Physcomitrella P4Hs.
