Studies on the formation of N6-hydroxylysine in cell-free extracts of Aerobacter aerogenes 62-1.

We have investigated conditions optimal for the conversion of L-lysine to its N6-hydroxy derivative by partially purified cell-free extracts of Aerobacter aerogenes 62-1. The enzyme system was highly specific to L-lysine: the D-isomer and, the N2- or N6-derivatives of lysine, and alpha-amino acids were not hydroxylated. Most of the latter compounds had little effect onthe hydroxylation of L-lysine. However, -l-glutamic acid and L-glutamine enhanced the hydroxylation, with half-maximal activation achieved at 100 micrometers concentration of the effector. The Km values for pyruvate and L-(+)-lactate (compounds known to stimulate N-hydroxylysine formation) were found to be approx. 100 micrometers. The data show that N-hydroxylation of the amino acid precedes acylation in the biosynthesis of hydroxamic acid in A. aerogenes 62-1.

Hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in different tissues of human embryos.

The collagen content in various tissues of human embryos was studied at four different steps of the maturation process. The umbilical cord of a 16-17 week old embryo was found to be active in collagen biosynthesis, Tibia, articular cartilage and skin showed of a peak of total hydroxyproline in the 16-17th week, decreasing later on, while the hydroxyproline decreased in umbilical cord from the 15-16th week to the 24th week. Hydroxylysine followed the hydroxyproline changes in articular cartilage and umbilical cord.

Age-related variations in glycosylation of hydroxylysine in human and rat skin collagens.

The extent of glycosylation of hydroxylysine in human skin collagen rapidly decreased during maturation and then gradually increased in proportion to the age. This decrease of glycosylation observed during maturation was also confirmed in whole, soluble and insoluble collagens from rat skin. These findings may contribute to the investigations on the functional role of glycosylation and also on the mechanism of maturational as well as senile processes.

Analysis of hydroxyproline isomers and hydroxylysine by reversed-phase HPLC and mass spectrometry.

Collagens, the most abundant mammalian proteins, contain a high content of hydroxylated amino acids, such as, 3- and 4-cis-/trans-hydroxyproline (Hyp) and 5-hydroxylysine (Hyl). Whereas the global content of 4-Hyp was studied by amino acid analysis, no technique to determine all five hydroxyamino acids simultaneously in collagens has been reported. Here, we report the separation of all five hydroxyamino acids as well as two Hyp epimers from all other proteinogenic amino acids after derivatization with N(2)-(5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl)-l-valine amide (l-FDVA) by RPC-UV-ESI-MS. The general applicability of this method is shown for three Hyp-containing peptides as well as collagen type I.

High-performance liquid chromatographic preparation of galactosyl-hydroxylysine, a specific bone collagen marker.

Galactosyl-hydroxylysine, a specific bone collagen marker, has been prepared directly from human urine samples by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a preparative column. The compound is the didansyl derivative, as proved by HPLC and mass spectrometry under fast atom bombardment conditions. Since this compound is not commercially available, the procedure reported appears to be the simplest way to prepare it, which is necessary to measure the urinary excretion of this collagen metabolite by HPLC.

Assay for 5-hydroxylysine and L-lysine in human and rat urine and in bone by gas chromatography.

An accurate method for the determination of collagen to study its distribution and turn-over in different tissues is described. 5-Hydroxylysine (5Hylys) is an amino acid that is apparently present in no other protein except collagen and, as it is metabolised only to a minor degree compared with 4-hydroxyproline (4Hypro), it has been suggested as a better marker of the collagen metabolism. Interest in this amino acid has increased recently because the levels of 5Hylys in urine and in different tissues may offer a new basis for detecting pathologies of the collagen molecule. This paper describes a method for the quantitative determination of 5Hylys and lysine (Lys) by gas chromatography (GC) in human and rat urine and in rat bone. The limit of detection was 350 pmol ml-1 for 5Hylys and 200 pmol ml-1 for Lys for all the biological samples. This method therefore provides a complete view of the metabolism of this amino acid and of the tissue it comes from.

Synthesis of enantiopure 4-hydroxypipecolate and 4-hydroxylysine derivatives from a common 4,6-dioxopiperidinecarboxylate precursor.

tert-Butyl 2-substituted 4,6-dioxo-1-piperidinecarboxylates 4 have been prepared in good yield starting from Boc-Asp-O(t)Bu and other beta-amino acids. By analogy with chiral tetramic acids, their reduction by NaBH(4) in CH(2)Cl(2)/AcOH afforded the corresponding cis-4-hydroxy delta-lactams in good yield and stereoselectivity (68-98% de). In the absence of the A(1,3) strain (reduction of 6-substituted 2,4-dioxo-1-piperidines 7), the cis-4-hydroxy isomer was still obtained as the major product but the de values were consistently lower. 4-Hydroxy-6-oxo-1,2-piperidinedicarboxylate 2a, readily accessible from Boc-Asp-O(t)Bu (three steps, 63% overall yield), has proven to be an excellent building block for the synthesis of cis- and trans-4-hydroxypipecolates 17 and 24 (52 and 36% overall yield, respectively) and for the synthesis of a protected 4-hydroxylysine derivative 29 (41% overall yield).

A total synthesis of hydroxylysine in protected form and investigations of the reductive opening of p-methoxybenzylidene acetals.

A synthesis of (2S,5R)-5-hydoxylysine, based on (R)-malic acid and Williams glycine template as chiral precursors, has been developed. This afforded hydroxylysine, suitably protected for direct use in peptide synthesis, in 32% yield over the 13-step sequence. Regioselective reductive opening of a p-methoxybenzylidene acetal and alkylation of the Williams glycine template were key steps in the synthetic sequence. Surprisingly, the regioselectivity in opening of the p-methoxybenzylidene acetal was reversed as compared to what was expected. It was found that this was due to chelation of the trialkylsilyl choride, used as an electrophile in the reductive opening, to an adjacent azide functionality. It was also discovered that an equivalent amount of trialkylsilyl hydride was formed in the reaction, a finding that led to additional mechanistic insight into reductive openings of p-methoxybenzylidene acetals with sodium cyanoborohydride as reducing agent.

Hydroxylysine in the N-terminal regions of the 1 - and 2 -chains of various collagens.

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.

Studies on the glycosylation of hydroxylysine residues during collagen biosynthesis and the subcellular localization of collagen galactosyltransferase and collagen glucosyltransferase in tendon and cartilage cells.

1. The glycosylation of hydroxylysine during the biosynthesis of procollagen by embryonic chick tendon and cartilage cells was examined. When free and membrane-bound ribosomes isolated from cells labelled for 4min with [(14)C]lysine were assayed for hydroxy[(14)C]lysine and hydroxy[(14)C]lysine glycosides, it was found that hydroxylation took place only on membrane-bound ribosomes and that some synthesis of galactosylhydroxy[(14)C]lysine and glucosylgalactosylhydroxy[(14)C]lysine had occurred on the nascent peptides. 2. Assays of subcellular fractions isolated from tendon and cartilage cells labelled for 2h with [(14)C]lysine demonstrated that the glycosylation of procollagen polypeptides began in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. (14)C-labelled polypeptides present in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi fractions were glycosylated to extents almost identical with the respective secreted procollagens. 3. Assays specific for collagen galactosyltransferase and collagen glucosyltransferase are described, using as substrate chemically treated bovine anterior-lens-capsule collagen. 4. When homogenates were assayed for the collagen glycosyltransferase activities, addition of Triton X-100 (0.01%, w/v) was found to stimulate enzyme activities by up to 45%, suggesting that the enzymes were probably membrane-bound. 5. Assays of subcellular fractions obtained by differential centrifugation for collagen galactosyltransferase activity indicated the specific activity to be highest in the microsomal fractions. Similar results were obtained for collagen glucosyltransferase activity. 6. When submicrosomal fractions obtained by discontinuous-sucrose-density-gradient-centrifugation procedures were assayed for these enzymic activities, the collagen galactosyltransferase was found to be distributed in the approximate ratio 7:3 between rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum of both cell types. Similar determinations of collagen glucosyltransferase indicated a distribution in the approximate ratio 3:2 between rough and smooth microsomal fractions. 7. Assays of subcellular fractions for the plasma-membrane marker 5'-nucleotidase revealed a distribution markedly different from the distributions obtained for the collagen glycosyltransferase. 8. The studies described here demonstrate that glycosylation occurs early in the intracellular processing of procollagen polypeptides rather than at the plasma membrane, as was previously suggested.

Hydroxylation of lysine and glycosylation of hydroxylysine during collagen biosynthesis in isolated chick-embryo cartilage cells.

Hydroxylation of lysine and glycosylation of hydroxylysine during collagen biosynthesis in isolated chick-embryo cartilage cells were studied by using continuous labelling and pulse-chase labelling experiments with [14C]lysine. Control experiments with [14C]proline indicated that in continuous labelling the hydroxylation of [14C]proline became linear with time after about 4 min and the secretion of collagen after about 35 min, as reported previously. In similar experiments with [14C]lysine the hydroxylation of [14C]lysine and the glycosylations of hydroxy[14C]lysine became linear at about 4 min, suggesting that these reactions were initiated while the polypeptide chains were growing on the ribosomes. Pulse-chase labelling experiments with [14C]lysine indicated that after a 5 min pulse-label the hydroxylation of [14C]lysine and the glycosylations of hydroxyl[14C]lysine continued during the chase period for about 20 min. The data suggest that these reactions are continued after the release of complete polypeptide chains into the cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas the reactions are probably not continued after the formation of the triple helix and the movement of the molecules into the Golgi vacuoles.

Isolation and hydroxylysine glycoside content of some cyanogen bromide-cleaved fragments of collagen from bovine corneal stroma.

Six CNBr-cleaved fragments of insoluble collagen from bovine cornea were isolated, characterized and examined for hydroxylysine glycosides. Thus the general distribution of most of the glycoside along the collagen molecule was determined. Collagen from bovine stroma is almost entirely type I. This work forms a basis for the pinpointing of glycoside-attachment sites along the collagen molecules of bovine cornea.

Urinary hydroxylysine and hydroxylysyl glycosides excretion in patients with Turner's syndrome.

Urinary excretion of 5-hydroxylysine (Hyl) and its two glycosides, a monoglycoside (Gal-Hyl) and a diglycoside (Glc-Gal-Hyl), and the ratio of the diglycoside to monoglycoside have been studied in 30 patients with Turner's syndrome and in 38 healthy controls. In patients, the urinary excretion of Hyl and its diglycoside was similar to that obtained in the controls, while the excretion of the monoglycoside was significantly lower before the age of 17 years. As a consequence, between 6 and 17 years of age the Glc-Gal-Hyl/Gal-Hyl ratio is significantly higher in patients with Turner's syndrome than in normal subjects. The results of our study seem to indicate a disturbance in the turnover of collagen in Turner's syndrome.

Identification of S-hydroxylysyl-methionine as the covalent cross-link of the noncollagenous (NC1) hexamer of the alpha1alpha1alpha2 collagen IV network: a role for the post-translational modification of lysine 211 to hydroxylysine 211 in hexamer assembly.

Collagen IV networks are present in all metazoans as components of basement membranes that underlie epithelia. They are assembled by the oligomerization of triple-helical protomers, composed of three alpha-chains. The trimeric noncollagenous domains (NC1) of each protomer interact forming a hexamer structure. Upon exposure to acidic pH or denaturants, the hexamer dissociates into monomer and dimer subunits, the latter reflect distinct interactions that reinforce/cross-link the quaternary structure of hexamer. Recently, the cross-link site of the alpha1alpha1alpha2 network was identified, on the basis of x-ray crystal structures at 1.9-A resolution, in which the side chains of Met93 and Lys211 were proposed to be connected by a novel thioether bond (Than, M. E., Henrich, S., Huber, R., Ries, A., Mann, K., Kuhn, K., Timpl, R., Bourenkov, G. P., Bartunik, H. D., and Bode, W. (2002) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 99, 6607-6612); however, at the higher resolution of 1.5 A, we found no evidence for this cross-link (Vanacore, R. M., Shanmugasundararaj, S., Friedman, D. B., Bondar, O., Hudson, B. G., and Sundaramoorthy, M. (2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 44723-44730). Given this discrepancy in crystallographic findings, we sought chemical evidence for the location and nature of the reinforcement/cross-link site. Trypsin digestion of monomer and dimer subunits excised a approximately 5,000-Da complex that distinguished dimers from monomers; the complex was characterized by mass spectrometry, Edman degradation, and amino acid composition analyses. The tryptic complex, composed of two peptides of 44 residues derived from two alpha1 NC1 monomers, contained Met93 and Lys211 post-translationally modified to hydroxylysine (Hyl211). Truncation of the tryptic complex with post-proline endopeptidase reduced its size to 14 residues to facilitate characterization by tandem mass spectrometry, which revealed a covalent linkage between Met93 and Hyl211. The novel cross-link, termed S-hydroxylysyl-methionine, reflects at least two post-translational events in its formation: the hydroxylation of Lys211 to Hyl211 within the NC1 domain during the biosynthesis of alpha-chains and the connection of Hyl211 to Met93 between the trimeric NC1 domains of two adjoining triple-helical protomers, reinforcing the stability of collagen IV networks.

Improved synthesis of 5-hydroxylysine (Hyl) derivatives.

The synthesis of 5-hydroxylysine (Hyl) derivatives for incorporation by solid-phase methodologies presents numerous challenges. Hyl readily undergoes intramolecular lactone formation, and protected intermediates often have poor solubilities. The goals of this work were twofold: first, develop a convenient method for the synthesis of O-protected Fmoc-Hyl; secondly, evaluate the efficiency of methods for the synthesis of O-glycosylated Fmoc-Hyl. The 5-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) fluoren-9-ylmethoxycarbonyl-Hyl (Fmoc-Hyl) derivative was conveniently prepared by the addition of tert-butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to copper-complexed Hyl[epsilon-tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc)]. The complex was decomposed with Na+ Chelex resin and the Fmoc group added to the alpha-amino group. Fmoc-Hyl(epsilon-Boc, O-TBDMS) was obtained in 67% overall yield and successfully used for the solid-phase syntheses of 3 Hyl-containing peptides. The preparation of Fmoc-Hyl[epsilon-Boc, O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)] was compared for the thioglycoside, trichloroacetimidate and Koenigs-Knorr methods. The most efficient approach was found to be Koenigs-Knorr under inverse conditions, where Fmoc-Hyl(epsilon-Boc)-OBzl and peracetylated galactosyl bromide were added to silver trifluoromethanesulfonate in 1,2-dichloroethane, resulting in a 45% isolated yield. Side-reactions that occurred during previously described preparations of glycosylated Hyl derivatives, such as lactone formation, loss of side-chain protecting groups, orthoester formation, or production of anomeric mixtures, were avoided here. Research on the enzymology of Lys hydroxylation and subsequent glycosylation, as well as the role of glycosylated Hyl in receptor recognition, will be greatly aided by the convenient and efficient synthetic methods developed here.

Metabolism of 5-hydroxylysine in Pseudomonas fluorescens.

Hydroxylysine is metabolized via two routes by a Pseudomonas fluorescens strain as shown by the oxidation of selected intermediates. Hydroxy-L-lysine is oxidized via a pathway analogous to the monooxygenase pathway for L-lysine, and data suggest that at least some of tthe enzymes are those involved in the metabolism of L-lysine. Hydroxy-L-lysine is also converted by a racemase to allohydroxy-D-lysine, which is then degraded via a pathway analogous to, but different from, that described for D-lysine, involving hydroxy-L-pipecolate, 2-amino-5-hydroxyadipate, and 2-hydroxyglutarate. Data obtained with mutants unable to oxidize L-pipecolate suggest that the enzymes for the metabolism of hydroxy-L-pipecolate are distinct from those for L-pipecolate. Studies on D- and L-lysine degradation have shown that the previously described pathways for these compounds are present in this soil pseudomonad.

The urinary excretion of total hydroxylysine and its glycosides in normal persons, and in patients suffering from Alport's syndrome--contribution of the peptide-bound fraction.

As Alport's syndrome is probably a molecular disorder of basement membrane composition, investigation of the urine on basement membrane components might be a diagnostic aid. It was shown previously that measurement of the excretion of free hydroxylysine and its glycosides, glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine, was not useful for this purpose. Because the urinary peptide-bound fraction may be more basement membrane specific, a subsequent study was performed with respect to the total (= free and peptide-bound) concentrations and fractions. To establish reference values, urinary specimens of 38 normal subjects of different ages were investigated. These values were used for comparison with data on 30 Alport patients, and 10 Alport siblings. 10 patients with benign recurrent hematuria were also investigated. No marked differences were observed in the excretory rates between normals and patients.

Urinary excretion of galactosyl-hydroxylysine is a marker of growth in children.

Galactosyl-hydroxylysine (Gal-Hyl) is the predominant product of the posttranslational glycosylation of skeletal collagen. Urinary Gal-Hyl excretion is regarded as a marker of bone resorption in adults, but little information is available on the validity of this parameter in pediatric age groups. Using 24-h urine samples from 88 healthy children and adolescents ages 4-18 yr, reference ranges were established for this age group, and values were compared with measurements in children with overt GH deficiency (n = 14) or Ullrich-Turner syndrome (n = 21). When expressed relative to body weight (Gal-Hyl/wt), urinary Gal-Hyl excretion was 3.2 to 4.7 times higher in subjects 4-16 yr of age than in adults. Highest values were observed in very young children and during the pubertal growth spurt. In the total population, urinary Gal-Hyl/wt was closely related to growth velocity (r = 0.72) and significantly correlated with the urinary excretion of both hydroxyproline (r = 0.74) and deoxypyridinoline (r = 0.88; P < 0.001 each). Urinary Gal-Hyl/wt was significantly lower in children with GH deficiency or Ullrich-Turner syndrome than in healthy children (P < 0.001 each). The urinary excretion of Gal-Hyl was significantly correlated with growth velocity in GH-deficient children (r = 0.69; P = 0.004) but not in patients with Ullrich-Turner syndrome. In the latter, the increase in urinary Gal-Hyl excretion after 3 months of treatment with recombinant human GH correlated significantly with the increase in growth velocity after 12 months of treatment (r = 0.76; P = 0.002). We conclude that the urinary excretion of Gal-Hyl is a valid and potentially useful index of skeletal growth in children.
