Diastereoselective hydroxylation of 6-substituted piperidin-2-ones. An efficient synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydroxylysine and related alpha-amino acids.

The synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydroxy-6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylates (5) and related (3S,6R)-3-hydroxy-6-alkyl-2-oxo-1-piperidinecarboxylates has been developed. The approach is based on the asymmetric hydroxylation of enolates generated from the corresponding N-protected-6-substituted piperidin-2-ones. The utility of 5a as a precursor in the synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydroxylysine (1), an amino acid unique to collagen and collagen-like proteins, has also been demonstrated. (2S)-6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylates (6) required for hydroxylation studies were prepared in 38-74% yield, starting from conveniently protected aspartic acid as inexpensive chiral adduct. Hydroxylation of 6 to 5 proceeds in high yield and excellent diastereoselectivity by treatment of their Li-enolate with (+)-camphorsulfonyloxaziridine at -78 degrees C. Ring opening of di-tert-butyl (2S,5R)-6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylate ((5R)-5a) under reductive conditions afforded the corresponding 1,2-diol (17) in 91%, which was further transformed to (2S,5R)-5-hydroxylysine in four steps (84%). 17 is also a versatile intermediate in the preparation of tert-butyl (2S,5R)-2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-hydroxy-6-iodohexanoate (3) and tert-butyl (2S)-2-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-4-[(2R)-oxiranyl]butanoate (4), two amino acid derivatives used in the total synthesis of the bone collagen cross-link (+)-pyridinoline (2a).

Synthesis of a C-glycoside analogue of beta-D-galactosyl hydroxylysine and incorporation in a glycopeptide from type II collagen.

A stereoselective synthesis of the C-glycoside analogue of beta-D-galactosyl-(5R,2S)-hydroxylysine (1) has been achieved starting from tetra-O-benzyl-D-galactopyranosyl lactone. The synthesis involved establishment of three stereogenic centers in an unambiguous manner. A facially selective Grignard reaction followed by a silane reduction was used for the anomeric position of the C-galactose residue. An Evans allylation established the configuration of the delta-aminomethylene group of the hydroxylysine moiety, whereas an asymmetric hydrogenation utilizing Burk's catalyst was used for the alpha-amino acid moiety itself. The synthesis was completed in 17 steps with an overall yield of 18%, resulting in the most complex and functionalized C-glycoside analogue of a naturally occurring glycosylated amino acid prepared to date. In addition, amino acid 1 was incorporated in a glycopeptide from type II collagen known to be crucial for the response of autoimmune T cells obtained in models of rheumatoid arthritis. A preliminary immunological study revealed that four out of five members in a panel of T cell hybridomas were able to recognize this C-linked glycopeptide when presented by A(q) class II MHC molecules.

Tissue-specific changes in the hydroxylysine content and cross-links of collagens and alterations in fibril morphology in lysyl hydroxylase 1 knock-out mice.

We have generated mice with targeted inactivation of the Plod1 gene for lysyl hydroxylase 1 (LH1). Its human mutations cause Ehlers-Danlos syndrome VIA (EDS VIA) characterized by muscular hypotonia, joint laxity, and kyphoscoliosis. The Plod1(-/-) mice are flaccid and have gait abnormalities. About 15% of them died because of aortic rupture and smooth muscle cells in non-ruptured Plod1(-/-) aortas showed degenerative changes. Collagen fibrils in the Plod1(-/-) aorta and skin had an abnormal morphology. The LH activity level in the Plod1(-/-) skin and aorta samples was 35-45% of that in the wild type. The hydroxylysine content was decreased in all the Plod1(-/-) tissues, ranging from 22% of that in the wild type in the skin to 75 and 86% in the femur and lung. The hydroxylysylpyridinoline crosslinks likewise showed decreases in all the Plod1(-/-) tissues, ranging from 28 and 33% of that in the wild type in the aorta and cornea to 47 and 59% in femur and tendon, while lysylpyridinolines were increased. The hydroxylysines found in the Plod1(-/-) collagens and their cross-links were evidently synthesized by the other two LH isoenzymes. Few data are available on abnormalities in EDS VIA tissues other than the skin. Plod1(-/-) mice offer an in vivo model for systematic analysis of the tissue-specific consequences of the lack of LH1 activity and may also provide a tool for analyzing the roles of connective tissue in muscle function and the complex interactions occurring in the proper assembly of the extracellular matrix.

Urinary excretion of hydroxylysine and its glycosides in Alport's syndrome and several other glomerulopathies.

Alport's syndrome probably is a molecular disorder of basement membrane composition. Investigation of urine on basement membrane components such as hydroxylysine and its glycosides, glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine, may be helpful for diagnosis of the disease. Urinary specimens of 33 patients and 12 siblings were investigated, and the results were compared with those of 14 healthy adults and of 29 healthy children. The urine of patients with glomerulopathies, occurring during childhood (IgA nephropathy, benign recurrent hematuria, poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, Henoch-Schönlein nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and nephrotic syndrome due to minimal lesions), was also investigated. No marked differences between normal and diseased subjects could be demonstrated, with respect to excretion of hydroxylysine and its glycosides, in contrast to data reported in the literature.

Abnormal properties of collagen lysyl hydroxylase from skin fibroblasts of siblings with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen.

Skin fibroblasts from two siblings with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen collagen (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type VI) contained normal levels of collagen prolyl hydroxylase activity but were markedly deficient in collagen lysyl hydroxylase activity. The deficiency was evident in all fractions of cell lysates, in low and high ionic strength buffers, and in detergent. Assays of mixtures of wild-type and mutant cell lysates indicated no activation of mutant enzyme by factors in wild-type cells or inhibition of normal enzyme by material in mutant cells. Wild type or mutant cells cultured with ascorbic acid (50 mug/ml of culture medium, added daily) contained approximately the same level of lysyl hydroxylase activity as cells cultured without ascorbate, but prolyl hydroxylase activity without ascorbate was depressed in both an average of 41%. The mutant lysyl hydroxylase was less stable at 37 degrees C than the wild type and did not form high molecular weight aggregates in low ionic strength buffers, as did the control enzyme. The activity of the mutant enzyme was maximally stimulated after dialysis against buffer solutions containing 10 mM dithiothreitol. When assayed in 100 muM dithiothreitol, the mutant enzyme exhibited a higher apparent Km for ascorbate (20 muM) than the wild type (4 muM). In 1.0 mM dithiothreitol the mutant enzyme's apparent Km for ascorbate was reduced to 5 muM. Wild type and mutant enzymes had the same apparent Km for alpha-keto-glutarate (20 muM). The properties of prolyl hydroxylase in wild type and mutant cells were identical: apparent Km's for ascorbate and alpha-ketoglutarate were 100 muM and 20 muM, respectively. If mutant enzyme protein with altered kinetic properties is the only enzyme functioning to hydroxylate lysyl residues in collagen, the variations in hydroxylysine content observed in collagen from different tissues in the subjects reported here could be in part due to differences in cofactor concentrations and in rate and sequence of events in collagen synthesis in different tissues.

Urinary galactosyl-hydroxylysine in postmenopausal osteoporotic women: A potential marker of bone fragility.

Alterations of the collagen matrix, e.g., increased hydroxylation and glycosylation of lysyl residues in collagen I, were found in human osteoporotic bone, and it was suggested that they could alter the mechanical properties of skeleton. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the content of galactosyl-hydroxylysine (GHYL) in bone collagen, as assessed by its urinary excretion, and related it to the occurrence of fracture. Two hundred and fifteen unselected postmenopausal women with osteoporosis were divided in two subgroups (comparable for age, age of menopause, bone mineral density, and biochemical parameters of bone turnover) on the basis of the history of fragility fracture; 115 patients had suffered no fracture and 100 patients had suffered one or more fractures 3 or more years before. Four urinary markers of bone turnover (hydroxyproline, cross-linked N-telopeptide, free deoxypyridoline, and GHYL) were evaluated in all patients. There was no difference between the two groups with regard to all the parameters studied except for GHYL, which was significantly higher in the group with a history of fracture (1.35 +/- 0.82 mmol/mol of creatinine [Cr] versus 1.03 +/- <0.48 mmol/mol Cr, p < 0.001); this marker did not correlate with other markers of bone remodeling in the fracture group, indicating a possible defect in bone collagen. In conclusion, provided that increased levels of urinary GHYL do reflect overglycosylation of hydroxylysine in bone collagen, the GHYL may be considered a marker of bone collagen quality. Our results, showing higher urinary GHYL in osteoporosis patients with fracture, seem to confirm this suggestion.

Use of galactose oxidase in labelling hydroxylysine glycosides of collagen.

Commercial preparations of galactose oxidase were shown to contain a proteolytic component active against collagen and collagen CNBr peptides which could not be inhibited by reagents such as EDTA, PMSF, PCMB and TLCK nor activated by Ca++ or Mn++. 30% of the total galactose oxidase activity could be recovered free of proteolytic activity in a simple one-step combined gel filtration/affinity chromatography procedure. The biological activity of such preparations was tested with reference to collagen hydroxylysine glycosides. It was shown that over 70% of the covalently linked tritium label introduced by KB3H4 reduction after galactose oxidase treatment was not associated with galactose but was present in the same non-specifically labelled components in control experiments. The enzyme could be used in a controlled manner to label hydroxylysine glycosides in collagen by immobilising it on agarose beads. In this form it was easy to store, re-usable and retained 95% of its original activity even after prolonged (18 h) incubation with substrates.

Guanosine triphosphate: 5-hydroxylysine phosphotransferase in rat kidney cortex.

An enzyme which catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate from GTP onto 5-hydroxylysine was partially purified from rat kidney cortex by means of acid precipitation and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography. The enzyme activity was assayed by measuring the transfer of [32P] from gamma-[32P]-GTP to materials not adsorbed by charcoal. This partially purified enzyme showed essentially no GTP phosphohydrolase activity and an optimal pH of 8.0. An apparent Km of about 23.8 mumol/1 was obtained with respect to 5-hydroxylysine. Mg2+ was required for the activity of this enzyme. Ethanolamine, L-lysine, L-ornithine and choline inhibited the enzyme but L-threonine, L-serine and hydroxy-L-proline did not. None of these compounds severed as substrate for this enzyme.

Decreased thermal denaturation temperature of osteogenesis imperfecta mutant collagen is independent of post-translational overmodifications of lysine and hydroxylysine.

Fibroblasts from many patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) synthesize and secrete Type I collagen which is both overmodified and exhibits a decreased thermal denaturation temperature. We have examined the relationship between overmodification and decreased melting temperature in several favorable OI mutants by selectively inhibiting lysyl hydroxylase activity with the drug Minoxidil and comparing the melting profiles of the resultant undermodified collagen with untreated control. Minoxidil treatment causes an appreciable decrease in hydroxylysine with compensatory increases in lysine content, and the delayed sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic mobility of the overmodified collagen chains becomes normal. However, the decreased melting temperature was unchanged from untreated OI control. When unhydroxylated collagen produced by normal control and OI fibroblasts incubated with alpha,alpha'-dipyridyl was examined, mutant OI molecules melted at a lower temperature than control. These data indicate that the decreased thermal denaturation temperature of OI mutant collagen is independent of post-translational overmodification of lysine or hydroxylysine. Presumably, substitutions for glycine in the Gly-X-Y structural motif distort the helix and produce lower melting temperatures by presently unknown mechanisms.

Identification of the post-translational modifications of the core-specific lectin. The core-specific lectin contains hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine, and glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine residues.

The core-specific lectin (CSL) synthesized and secreted by rat hepatocytes and the rat hepatoma H-4-II-E shows affinity for mannose and N-acetylglucosamine residues in the "core" region of asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. The CSL undergoes two stages of post-translational modification which result in an increase in its Mr from 24,000 to 26,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We have determined that the lectin undergoes hydroxylation of proline and lysine and that the hydroxylysine is glycosylated to form glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine (GlcGalHyLys). CSL metabolically labeled with [3H]lysine and [3H]proline contains hydroxylated forms of proline and lysine. The mature form of the lectin can also be metabolically labeled with [3H]galactose. alpha,alpha'-Dipyridyl, an inhibitor of collagen prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases, prevents the metabolic incorporation of [3H]galactose and the post-translational increases in the Mr of the CSL, indicating that both events are dependent upon hydroxylation of proline and lysine. Virtually all of the hydroxylysine present in the CSL is recovered as glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine after alkaline hydrolysis. The post-translational modifications of the CSL place it in a select family of secreted proteins which contain collagen-like sequences, including the pulmonary surfactant proteins, complement component C1q, and the 18 S asymmetric form of acetylcholinesterase.

Hydroxylysine glycosides: preparation and analysis by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography.

Hydroxylysine diglycoside was prepared from hydrolyzed sponge by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The product obtained was chemically pure on amino acid analyzer and was active as substrate of the enzyme alpha-(1----2)glucosidase. Hyl monoglycoside was prepared by mild acid hydrolysis from diglycoside. A reverse phase HPLC system was devised for Hyl glycosides, hydroxylysine and other basic amino acids. The separation was achieved using an octadecyl bonded silica column on the compounds derivatized with dabsyl chloride to produce di-dabsyl derivatives. Elution was followed in the visible region at 436 nm. In the conditions used no or very low amount of mono-dabsyl derivatives was observed. Hyl di- and monoglycoside resulted a mixture of two diastereoisomers, which form during the alkaline hydrolysis. The separation of the diastereoisomers of each compound depended on pH and ionic strength of the eluent in the HPLC column, whereas they were not separated by our short column on amino acid analyzer. The HPLC system was also used for the analysis of Hyl glycosides on two collagen preparations.

Serum hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine levels in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.

An increase in total (72.67-8.24 mumol/l) and free (14.14-1.97 mumol/l) hydroxyproline and total (7.16-0.72 mumol/l) and free (1.06-0.24 mumol/l) hydroxylysine was found in the serum of 30 patients with decompensated hepatic cirrhosis as compared to the values in 40 healthy subjects (48.70-5.89; 8.41-4.73; 4.34-2.71; 0.77-0.25 mumol/l, respectively). The results were not related to total serum protein concentration. The level of peptide-bound hydroxyproline and peptide-bound hydroxylysine was significantly higher in cirrhotic patients despite the decrease in serum protein content.

Isolation and properties of N epsilon-hydroxylysine:acetyl coenzyme A N epsilon-transacetylase from Escherichia coli pABN11.

The enzyme N epsilon-hydroxylysine acetylase has been isolated from Escherichia coli 294 carrying recombinant plasmid ABN11. Activity of the enzyme was followed by measurement of the rate of appearance of 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoate, the product of cleavage of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) by free coenzyme A released from its acetyl derivative. The enzyme bound firmly to Reactive Blue 2-Sepharose CL-6B and was eluated with 1.5 M KCl. The protein gave a single band, corresponding to a Mr of 33,000, on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate. In contrast, gel filtration of the native enzyme gave a Mr of 150,000-200,000. A sequence analysis of the DNA at the junction of the first and second genes in the aerobactin operon, considered in conjunction with the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the isolated protein, enabled the conclusion that the acetylase is specified by the second gene in the complex. The enzyme transfers the acetyl moiety from acetyl coenzyme A to a variety of hydroxylamines, with N epsilon-hydroxylysine as the preferred substrate. In agreement with the results found by affinity chromatography, Coomassie Blue was observed to act as a potent inhibitor.

Synthesis of glycopeptides from type II collagen-incorporating galactosylated hydroxylysine mimetics and their use in studying the fine specificity of arthritogenic T cells.

Five analogues of the bovine type II collagen (bCII) immunodominant glycopeptide [beta-D-Gal-(5R)-5-Hyl264]CII(256-270) (1) carrying diverse modifications at the critical hydroxylysine (Hyl) 264 side chain were designed and synthesised, to explore the fine specificity of bCII-reactive T cells involved in the initiation and/or regulation of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a mouse model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Beta-D-galactosyl-(5R)-5-hydroxy-L-lysine (19) and corresponding mimetics (22-25), conveniently protected for solid-phase synthesis, were all obtained by a divergent route involving enantiopure 5-hydroxylated 6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylates as the key intermediates. All three bCII-specific T hybridomas used, as well as a recurrent pathogenic CD4+ T-cell clone isolated from bCII-immunised DBA/1 mice, recognised the galactosylated form 1 of the immunodominant bCII (256-270) epitope. These cells were extremely sensitive to changes at the epsilon-amino group of Hyl264, but differed in their pattern of recognition of analogues with a Hyl264 side chain modified at C-5 (i.e. inversion of stereochemistry, methylation). These data further document the importance of collagen post-translational modifications in autoimmunity and in the CIA model in particular, and provide a new insight into the molecular interaction between glycopeptide 1 and the TCR of pathogenic T cells.

Urinary beta-1-galactosyl-0-hydroxylysine (GH) as a marker of collagen turnover of bone.

beta-1-galactosyl-0-hydroxylysine (GH) was measured in the urine of 59 women and 48 men, aged 30-79 years, by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) of the dansylated derivative. Vertebral mineral density, measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT), and urinary GH were inversely correlated (r = -0.74; P less than 0.001). High rate of bone mineral loss is associated with a high urinary GH excretion. Measurement of GH in urine provides a simple and noninvasive method for the evaluation of the extent of bone resorption in large groups of subjects and appears to be more specific than urinary hydroxyproline excretion.

Periodate oxidation products of hydroxylysine in the synthesis of 5-substituted prolines.

The amino acid hydroxylysine was subjected to oxidation by sodium metaperiodate under various conditions. It was found that in acid and high temperature, the initial oxidation product alpha-aminoglutaric gamma-semialdehyde was converted to glutamic acid with a yield of 60%. The use of alkaline conditions of oxidation favored the cyclization of alpha-aminoglutaric gamma-semialdehyde to form delta 1-pyrroline 5-carboxylic acid. Addition of NaCN to this intermediate generated new proline analogs, likely a mixture of cis- and trans-5-cyanoprolines, with a yield of 30%. Upon hydrolysis, the 5-cyanoprolines were converted to a probable mixture of cis- and trans-5-carboxyprolines. Infrared and high-resolution mass spectral data of the analogs and visual absorption spectra of the ninhydrin products were obtained to confirm the structures.

Determination of methylated basic, 5-hydroxylysine, elastin crosslinks, other amino acids, and the amino sugars in proteins and tissues.

Analytical single-column chromatographic methods have been developed for determining all methylated basic amino acids, isodesmosine, desmosine, the amino sugars glucosamine and galactosamine, the diastereoisomers of 5-hydroxylysine, and related compounds at picomole levels in protein and tissue hydrolysates. Complete resolution of all these unique basic amino acids as discrete peaks was achieved in 5.4 on a 50 X 0.28-cm microcolumn of Dionex type DC-4A spherical resin (9.0 +/- 0.5 micron) using updated instrumentation commonly available for amino acid analysis. The column was operated at 5.65 ml/h with two 0.35 M sodium citrate buffers (pH 5.700 and 4.501), at two temperatures (31.5 and 73 degrees C). Excellent resolution of all omega-N-methylarginines and related compounds was also achieved in 3 h using a 17.5 X 0.28-cm microcolumn of Dionex DC-5A resin (sized to 6.0 +/- 0.5 microns), two citrate buffers (0.21 M Na+, pH 5.125; 0.35 M Na+, pH 5.700), a buffer flow rate of 5.75 ml/h, and a temperature of 52 degrees C. Complete separation of all other amino acids found in protein or tissue hydrolysates including S-carboxymethyl cysteine, 4-hydroxyproline, methionine S,S-dioxide, and the amino sugars was also carried out in 95 min using a 23.5 X 0.28-cm microcolumn of Dionex DC-5A resin. The use of purified microcolumn buffers gave smooth baselines without interference from artifacts or minor hydrolysate components. The major advantages of these methods are: first, their high resolving power; second, their high sensitivity which is comparable and in some aspects superior to the newer instruments; and third, their high reproducibility (100 +/- 2.5%) and low operating costs. These methods should be especially valuable for determining myosin, actin, and elastin in tissue hydrolysates from the amounts of N tau-methylhistidine, desmosine, or isodesmosine present, respectively, and for studying protein methylation, hydroxylation, cross-linking formation, and the turnover rates of contractile and connective tissue proteins in biological systems.
