[PMID: 32097723 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2020.103718] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2019] [Revised: 02/05/2020] [Accepted: 02/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Fibrillar collagens and proteoglycans (PGs) are quantitatively the major constituents of extracellular matrices (ECM). They carry numerous crucial post-translational modifications (PTMs) that tune the resulting biomechanical properties of the corresponding tissues. The mechanisms determining these PTMs remain largely unknown, notably because available established cell lines do not recapitulate much of the complexity of the machineries involved. ATDC5 cells are a model of chondrogenesis widely used for decades, but it remains described mostly at histological and transcriptional levels. Here, we asked to what extent this model recapitulates the events of ECM synthesis and processing occurring in cartilage. Insulin-stimulated ATDC5 cells exhibit up- or down-regulation of more than one-hundred proteins, including a number of known participants in chondrogenesis and major markers thereof. However, they also lack several ECM components considered of significant, yet more subtle, function in cartilage. Still, they assemble the large PG aggrecan and type II collagen, both carrying most of their in vivo PTMs, into an ECM. Remarkably, collagen crosslinking is fully lysyl oxidase (LOX)-dependent. The ATDC5 model recapitulates critical aspects of the cartilage ECM-processing machinery and should be useful to decipher the mechanisms involved. Proteomics data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD014121. SIGNIFICANCE: The present work provides the first proteome characterization of the ATDC5 chondrogenesis model, which has been used for decades in the field of cartilage biology. The results demonstrate the up- and down-regulation of more than one hundred proteins. Overall, specific drawbacks of the model are pointed out, that will be important to take into consideration for future studies. However, major cartilage components are massively assembled into an extracellular matrix and carry most of their post-translational modifications occurring in cartilage tissue. Unlike other available established cell lines, the ATDC5 model recapitulates major aspects of cartilage biosynthesis and should be useful in investigating the mechanisms that regulate collagen maturation events.

Abstract
Mia3’s contribution to protein secretion is broader than previously realized—its absence impairs collagen deposition and normal development of cartilage and bone. Melanoma inhibitory activity member 3 (MIA3/TANGO1) is an evolutionarily conserved endoplasmic reticulum resident transmembrane protein. Recent in vitro studies have shown that it is required for the loading of collagen VII, but not collagen I, into COPII-coated transport vesicles. In this paper, we show that mice lacking Mia3 are defective for the secretion of numerous collagens, including collagens I, II, III, IV, VII, and IX, from chondrocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and mural cells. Collagen deposition by these cell types is abnormal, and extracellular matrix composition is compromised. These changes are associated with intracellular accumulation of collagen and the induction of a strong unfolded protein response, primarily within the developing skeleton. Chondrocyte maturation and bone mineralization are severely compromised in Mia3-null embryos, leading to dwarfism and neonatal lethality. Thus, Mia3’s role in protein secretion is much broader than previously realized, and it may, in fact, be required for the efficient secretion of all collagen molecules in higher organisms.

Abstract
Heat-shock protein of 47 kDa (Hsp47) is a molecular chaperone that recognizes collagen triple helices in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Hsp47-knockout mouse embryos are deficient in the maturation of collagen types I and IV, and collagen triple helices formed in the absence of Hsp47 show increased susceptibility to protease digestion. We show here that the fibrils of type I collagen produced by Hsp47-/- cells are abnormally thin and frequently branched. Type I collagen was highly accumulated in the ER of Hsp47-/- cells, and its secretion rate was much slower than that of Hsp47+/+ cells, leading to accumulation of the insoluble aggregate of type I collagen within the cells. Transient expression of Hsp47 in the Hsp47-/- cells restored normal extracellular fibril formation and intracellular localization of type I collagen. Intriguingly, type I collagen with unprocessed N-terminal propeptide (N-propeptide) was secreted from Hsp47-/- cells and accumulated in the extracellular matrix. These results indicate that Hsp47 is required for correct folding and prevention of aggregation of type I collagen in the ER and that this function is indispensable for efficient secretion, processing, and fibril formation of collagen.

Abstract
Patients with OI/EDS form a distinct subset of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) patients. In addition to skeletal fragility, they have characteristics of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). We identified 7 children with types III or IV OI, plus severe large and small joint laxity and early progressive scoliosis. In each child with OI/EDS, we identified a mutation in the first 90 residues of the helical region of alpha1(I) collagen. These mutations prevent or delay removal of the procollagen N-propeptide by purified N-proteinase (ADAMTS-2) in vitro and in pericellular assays. The mutant pN-collagen which results is efficiently incorporated into matrix by cultured fibroblasts and osteoblasts and is prominently present in newly incorporated and immaturely cross-linked collagen. Dermal collagen fibrils have significantly reduced cross-sectional diameters, corroborating incorporation of pN-collagen into fibrils in vivo. Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that these mutant collagens are less stable than the corresponding procollagens, which is not seen with other type I collagen helical mutations. These mutations disrupt a distinct folding region of high thermal stability in the first 90 residues at the amino end of type I collagen and alter the secondary structure of the adjacent N-proteinase cleavage site. Thus, these OI/EDS collagen mutations are directly responsible for the bone fragility of OI and indirectly responsible for EDS symptoms, by interference with N-propeptide removal.

Abstract
The majority of collagen mutations causing osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) are glycine substitutions that disrupt formation of the triple helix. A rare type of collagen mutation consists of a duplication or deletion of one or two Gly-X-Y triplets. These mutations shift the register of collagen chains with respect to each other in the helix but do not interrupt the triplet sequence, yet they have severe clinical consequences. We investigated the effect of shifting the register of the collagen helix by a single Gly-X-Y triplet on collagen assembly, stability, and incorporation into fibrils and matrix. These studies utilized a triplet duplication in COL1A1 exon 44 that occurred in the cDNA and gDNA of two siblings with lethal OI. The normal allele encodes three identical Gly-Ala-Hyp triplets at aa 868-876, whereas the mutant allele encodes four. The register shift delays helix formation, causing overmodification. Differential scanning calorimetry yielded a decrease in T(m) of 2 degrees C for helices with one mutant chain and a 6 degrees C decrease in helices with two mutant chains. An in vitro binary co-processing assay of N-proteinase cleavage demonstrated that procollagen with the triplet duplication has slower N-propeptide cleavage than in normal controls or procollagen with proalpha1(I) G832S, G898S, or G997S substitutions, showing that the register shift persists through the entire helix. The register shift disrupts incorporation of mutant collagen into fibrils and matrix. Proband fibrils formed inefficiently in vitro and contained only normal helices and helices with a single mutant chain. Helices with two mutant chains and a significant portion of helices with one mutant chain did not form fibrils. In matrix deposited by proband fibroblasts, mutant chains were abundant in the immaturely cross-linked fraction but constituted a minor fraction of maturely cross-linked chains. The profound effects of shifting the collagen triplet register on chain interactions in the helix and on fibril formation correlate with the severe clinical consequences.

Abstract
In many embryonic tissues, type IIA procollagen is synthesized and deposited into the extracellular matrix containing the NH(2)-propeptide, the cysteine-rich domain of which binds to bone morphogenic proteins. To investigate whether matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) synthesized during development and disease can cleave the NH(2) terminus of type II procollagens, we tested eight types of enzymes. Recombinant trimeric type IIA collagen NH(2)-propeptide encoded by exons 1-8 fused to the lectin domain of rat surfactant protein D was used as a substrate. The latter allowed trimerization of the propeptide domain and permitted isolation by saccharide affinity chromatography. Although MMPs 1, 2, and 8 did not show cleavage, MMPs 3, 7, 9, 13, and 14 cleaved the recombinant protein both at the telopeptide region and at the procollagen N-proteinase cleavage site. MMPs 7 and 13 demonstrated other cleavage sites in the type II collagen-specific region of the N-propeptide; MMP-7 had another cleavage site close to the COOH terminus of the cysteine-rich domain. To prove that an MMP can cleave the native type IIA procollagen in situ, we demonstrated that MMP-7 removes the NH(2)-propeptide from collagen fibrils in the extracellular matrix of fetal cartilage and identified the cleavage products. Because the N-proteinase and telopeptidase cleavage sites are present in both type IIA and type IIB procollagens and the telopeptide cleavage site is retained in the mature collagen fibril, this processing could be important to type IIB procollagen and to mature collagen fibrils as well.

Abstract
The amino and carboxyl propeptides of procollagens I and II are removed by specific enzymes as a prerequisite for fibril assembly. Null mutations in procollagen I N-propeptidase (ADAMTS-2) cause dermatosparaxis in cattle and the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (dermatosparactic type) in humans by preventing proteolytic excision of the N-propeptide of procollagen I. We have found that procollagen II is processed normally in dermatosparactic nasal cartilage, suggesting the existence of another N-propeptidase(s). We investigated such a role for ADAMTS-3 in Swarm rat chondrosarcoma RCS-LTC cells, which fail to process the procollagen II N-propeptide. Stable transfection of RCS-LTC cells with bovine ADAMTS-2 or human ADAMTS-3 partially rescued the processing defect, suggesting that ADAMTS-3 has procollagen II N-propeptidase activity. Human skin and skin fibroblasts showed 30-fold higher mRNA levels of ADAMTS-2 than ADAMTS-3, whereas ADAMTS-3 mRNA was 5-fold higher than ADAMTS-2 mRNA in human cartilage. We propose that both ADAMTS-2 and ADAMTS-3 process procollagen II, but ADAMTS-3 is physiologically more relevant, given its preferred expression in cartilage. The findings provide an explanation for the sparing of cartilage in dermatosparaxis and, perhaps, for the relative sparing of some procollagen I-containing tissues.

Abstract
We have examined the suitability of the mouse mammary gland for expression of novel recombinant procollagens that can be used for biomedical applications. We generated transgenic mouse lines containing cDNA constructs encoding recombinant procollagen, along with the alpha and beta subunits of prolyl 4-hydroxylase, an enzyme that modifies the collagen into a form that is stable at body temperature. The lines expressed relatively high levels (50-200 micrograms/ml) of recombinant procollagen in milk. As engineered, the recombinant procollagen was shortened and consisted of a pro alpha 2(I) chain capable of forming a triple-helical homotrimer not normally found in nature. Analysis of the product demonstrated that (1) the pro alpha chains formed disulphide-linked trimers, (2) the trimers contained a thermostable triple-helical domain, (3) the N-propeptides were aligned correctly, and (4) the expressed procollagen was not proteolytically processed to collagen in milk.

Abstract
Type I collagen, the most abundant structural protein in vertebrates, is comprised of two alpha 1(I) chains and one alpha 2(I) chain. Fibroblasts from a proband with osteogenesis imperfecta, however, were shown to synthesize a type I procollagen that was a homotrimer of pro alpha 1(I) chains. The absence of pro alpha 2(I) chains in the procollagen provided a unique opportunity to assess the role of the alpha 2(I) chain in collagen fibrillogenesis by examining the self-assembly de novo of the homotrimeric collagen generated in vitro. The results demonstrated that the fibrils formed by the homotrimeric collagen had an asymmetric banding pattern similar to fibrils of normal heterotrimeric type I collagen. However, the efficiency for self-assembly of the homotrimer into fibrils was markedly reduced in that the critical concentration at 37 degrees C was 40-fold greater than for self-assembly of the heterotrimeric molecule. A van't Hoff-type plot of the data was used to determine values for delta G, delta H and delta S. The values indicated the self-assembly of the homotrimer is similar to self-assembly of the heterotrimer in that the process is entropy driven. The process is, however, less favorable in that the delta G value was 10 kJ/mol less negative. The results suggest that the presence of the alpha 2(I) chain in type I collagen helps drive the self-assembly process, probably because the alpha 2(I) chain is more hydrophobic than the alpha 1(I) chain and, therefore, smaller amounts of structured water may be lost during self-assembly of the homotrimer than during self-assembly of the heterotrimer.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
At high concentrations, type I pN-collagen, pC-collagen and procollagen (the first 2 generated from procollagen by enzymic cleavage of C-propeptides and N-propeptides, respectively) can all be made to assemble in vitro into thin D-periodic sheets or tapes. Scanning transmission electron microscopy mass measurements show that the pN-collagen sheets and procollagen tapes have a mass per unit area corresponding to that of approximately 6.8 monolayers of close-packed molecules. pN-collagen sheets are extensive and remarkably uniform in mass thickness (fractional S.D. 0.035); procollagen tapes are neither as extensive nor as uniform in thickness. The mean thickness of pC-collagen tapes is less and the variability is greater. In pN-collagen sheets, the overlap: gap mass contrast in a D-period is increased from 5:4 (the ratio in a native collagen fibril) to 6:4, showing that the N-propeptides do not project into the gap but are folded back over the overlap zone. Assuming all N-propeptides to be constrained to the two surfaces of a sheet, their surface density can be found from the mass thickness of the sheet. In a lateral direction (i.e. normal to the axial direction where the spacing is D-periodic), the N-propeptide domains are calculated to be spaced, centre to centre, by 2.23 (+/- 0.1) nm on both surfaces. This value (approx. 1.5 x the triple-helix diameter) implies close-packing laterally with adjacent domains in contact. Sheet formation and the "surface-seeking" behaviour of propeptides can be understood in terms of the dual character of the molecules, evident from solubility data, with propeptides possessing interaction properties very different from those displayed by the rest of the molecule. The form and stability of sheets (and of first-formed fibrils assembling in vivo) could, it is suggested, depend on the partially fluid-like nature of lateral contacts between collagen molecules.

Abstract
The solubility limit of purified chick type I procollagen, incubated at 37 degrees C in phosphate-buffered saline, was found to be in the range 1 to 1.5 mg/ml. At higher concentrations large aggregates formed. These comprised: (1) D-periodic assemblies; (2) narrow filaments with no apparent periodicity; and (3) segment-long-spacing-like aggregates. The D-periodic assemblies, which predominated at high concentrations, were separated from the other types of aggregate and found to be ribbon-like. Ribbons were uniform in thickness (approximately 8 nm) and up to 1 micron wide. Staining patterns showed features similar to those in native-type collagen fibrils. Immunolabelling indicated that the carboxyl-terminal propeptide domains were close to the carboxyl-terminal gap-overlap junction, and that the amino-terminal propeptide domains were folded over into the amino-terminal side of the overlap zone. Both propeptide domains appeared to be located on the surface of the assemblies. These observations show that intact propeptide domains hinder, but do not prevent, the formation of D-periodic assemblies. The presence of the propeptide domains on the surface of a growing assembly could restrict its lateral growth and limit its final thickness.

Abstract
The enzyme procollagen C-proteinase removes the carboxy-terminal propeptide from procollagen. In the present study we describe an improved procedure for the purification of this enzyme. From the medium of cultured mouse fibroblasts, consisting of ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and affinity chromatography on a lysyl-Sepharose column, followed by chromatography on a column of Sepharose coupled to the carboxy-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PP-Sepharose). This procedure yielded a practically homogeneous, 18,500-fold-purified enzyme preparation and the molecular mass of the purified C-proteinase as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 80 kDa. The lysyl-Sepharose step separated the enzyme from the majority of the contaminating proteins, including a 55-kDa protein which was further purified by PP-Sepharose chromatography and identified as an additional form of the 36-kDa and 34-kDa procollagen C-proteinase enhancer proteins described before [Adar et al. (1986) Collagen Relat. Res. 6,267-277]. It enhanced the C-proteinase activity, bound to the carboxyl propeptide of type I procollagen, cross-reacted immunologically with the 36-kDa as well as the 34-kDa enhancer proteins, and in common with the latter proteins, it was glycosylated. In the course of PP-Sepharose chromatography, a large proportion of the 55-kDa protein disappeared with the concomitant appearance of the smaller enhancer proteins. All these findings suggest that the 55-kDa protein is a precursor of the low molecular mass enhancer proteins. Also suggested from this study is that lysyl-Sepharose chromatography is a highly beneficial purification step which may find use in the purification of the C-proteinase from other sources as well.

Abstract
The assembly of type I collagen and type I pN-collagen was studied in vitro using a system for generating these molecules enzymatically from their immediate biosynthetic precursors. Collagen generated by C-proteinase digestion of pC-collagen formed D-periodically banded fibrils that were essentially cylindrical (i.e. circular in cross-section). In contrast, pN-collagen generated by C-proteinase digestion of procollagen formed thin, sheet-like structures that were axially D-periodic in longitudinal section, of varying lateral widths (up to several microns) and uniform in thickness (approximately 8 nm). Mixtures of collagen and pN-collagen assembled to form a variety of pleomorphic fibrils. With increasing pN-collagen content, fibril cross-sections were progressively distorted from circular to lobulated to thin and branched structures. Some of these structures were similar to fibrils observed in certain heritable disorders of connective tissue where N-terminal procollagen processing is defective. The observations are considered in terms of the hypothesis that the N-propeptides are preferentially located on the surface of a growing assembly. The implications for normal diameter control of collagen fibrils in vivo are discussed.

Abstract
The solution conformation of the type I collagen alpha-1 chain N-telopeptide has been studied by CD and 1H NMR spectroscopy at 600 MHz in CD3OH/H2O (60/40 v/v) and H2O solutions. The 19 amino acids form the N-terminal end of the alpha-1 polypeptide chain. By the combined application of several two-dimensional, phase-sensitive NMR techniques (COSY, RELAY, ROESY), a complete assignment of all proton resonances was achieved, and the conformation of the backbone could be established on the basis of the coupling constant and NOE data. In CD3OH/H2O solutions the spectroscopic evidence clearly indicates that two sections of the molecule (pE1-Y6 and T11-M19) are extended and that the D7-S10 segment forms a beta-turn, stabilized by a hydrogen bond between NH(S10) and CO(D7). The data suggest that the turn is of the type I kind (minor) and that it coexists with an extended structure (major conformer). Interactions between the two extended parts of the peptide were not observed, thus excluding the existence of a beta-sheet. In H2O solution the conformation is significantly different, with no beta-turn, but a completely extended structure is observed.

Abstract
Recent data from several laboratories have established that most variants of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) are caused by mutations in the 2 structural genes for type I procollagen. There are 2 general reasons for the large number of mutations in type I procollagen in OI. One reason is that most of the structure of the procollagen monomer is essential for normal biological function of the protein. The second reason is that most of the mutations cause synthesis of structurally altered pro alpha chains of type I procollagen. The deleterious effects of the structurally altered pro alpha chains are then amplified by at least 3 mechanisms. One mechanism is a phenomenon referred to as "procollagen suicide" whereby altered pro alpha chains cause degradation of normal pro alpha chains synthesized by the same cell. Another mechanism involves the fact that many of the structurally altered pro alpha chains prevent normal processing of the N-propeptides of procollagen and persistence of the N-propeptide interferes with normal fibril assembly. A third mechanism is a recently discovered phenomenon in which a substitution of a bulkier amino acid for glycine can cause a kink in the triple helix of the molecule. The kinked collagen, in turn, causes formation of abnormally branched fibrils. Because the deleterious effects of abnormal pro alpha chains are amplified by these 3 mechanisms, most of the mutations are dominant and many are dominant lethal. The conclusion that most variants of OI are caused by mutations in the structural genes for type I procollagen has broad implications for other diseases that affect connective tissue, diseases such as chondrodystrophies, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis.
