Abstract
Collagen is a key component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In the remodeling of ECM, a remarkable variation in collagen post-translational modifications (PTMs) occurs. This makes collagen a potential target for understanding extracellular matrix remodeling during pathological conditions. Over the years, scientists have gathered a huge amount of data about collagen PTM during extracellular matrix remodeling. To make such information easily accessible in a consolidated space, we have developed ColPTMScape (https://colptmscape.iitmandi.ac.in/), a dedicated knowledge base for collagen PTMs. The identified site-specific PTMs, quantitated PTM sites, and PTM maps of collagen chains are deliverables to the scientific community, especially to matrix biologists. Through this knowledge base, users can easily gain information related to the difference in the collagen PTMs across different tissues in different organisms.

Abstract
Collagens are fundamental constituents of the extracellular matrix and are the most abundant proteins in mammals. Collagens belong to the family of fibrous or fiber-forming proteins that self-assemble into fibrils that define their mechanical properties and biological functions. Up to now, 28 members of the collagen superfamily have been recognized. Collagen biosynthesis occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum, where specific post-translational modification-glycosylation-is also carried out. The glycosylation of collagens is very specific and adds β-d-galactopyranose and β-d-Glcp-(1→2)-d-Galp disaccharide through β-O-linkage to hydroxylysine. Several glycosyltransferases, namely COLGALT1, COLGALT2, LH3, and PGGHG glucosidase, were associated the with glycosylation of collagens, and recently, the crystal structure of LH3 has been solved. Although not fully understood, it is clear that the glycosylation of collagens influences collagen secretion and the alignment of collagen fibrils. A growing body of evidence also associates the glycosylation of collagen with its functions and various human diseases. Recent progress in understanding collagen glycosylation allows for the exploitation of its therapeutic potential and the discovery of new agents. This review will discuss the relevant contributions to understanding the glycosylation of collagens. Then, glycosyltransferases involved in collagen glycosylation, their structure, and catalytic mechanism will be surveyed. Furthermore, the involvement of glycosylation in collagen functions and collagen glycosylation-related diseases will be discussed.

Abstract
Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are widely consumed in diets all over the world and have a significant impact on human health. Proteins, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and other micro- and macronutrients are abundant in these legumes. On the other hand, collagens, the most important constituent of extracellular matrices, account for approximately 25-30 percent of the overall total protein composition within the human body. Hence, the presence of amino acids and other dietary components, including glycine, proline, and lysine, which are constituents of the primary structure of the protein, is required for collagen formation. In this particular context, protein quality is associated with the availability of macronutrients such as the essential amino acid lysine, which can be acquired from meals containing beans. Lysine plays a critical role in the process of post-translational modifications facilitated with enzymes lysyl hydroxylase and lysyl oxidase, which are directly involved in the synthesis and maturation of collagens. Furthermore, collagen biogenesis is influenced by the cellular redox state, which includes important minerals and bioactive chemicals such as iron, copper, and certain quinone cofactors. This study provides a novel perspective on the significant macro- and micronutrients present in Phaseolus vulgaris L., as well as explores the potential application of amino acids and cofactors derived from this legume in the production of collagens and bioavailability. The utilization of macro- and micronutrients obtained from Phaseolus vulgaris L. as a protein source, minerals, and natural bioactive compounds could optimize the capacity to promote the development and durability of collagen macromolecules within the human body.

Abstract
Vibrational spectroscopic methods are widely used in the molecular diagnostics of carcinogenesis. Collagen, a component of connective tissue, plays a special role as a biochemical marker of pathological changes in tissues. The vibrational bands of collagens are very promising to distinguish between normal colon tissue, benign and malignant colon polyps. Differences in these bands indicate changes in the amount, structure, conformation and the ratio between the individual structural forms (subtypes) of this protein. The screening of specific collagen markers of colorectal carcinogenesis was carried out based on the FTIR and Raman (λex 785 nm) spectra of colon tissue samples and purified human collagens. It was found that individual types of human collagens showed significant differences in their vibrational spectra, and specific spectral markers were found for them. These collagen bands were assigned to specific vibrations in the polypeptide backbone, amino acid side chains and carbohydrate moieties. The corresponding spectral regions for colon tissues and colon polyps were investigated for the contribution of collagen vibrations. Mentioned spectral differences in collagen spectroscopic markers could be of interest for early ex vivo diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma if combine vibrational spectroscopy and colonoscopy.

Abstract
O-Glycosylation of hydroxylysine (Hyl) in collagen occurs at an early stage of biosynthesis before the triple-helix has formed. This simple post-translational modification (PTM) of lysine by either a galactosyl or glucosylgalactosyl moiety is highly conserved in collagens and depends on the species, type of tissue and the collagen amino acid sequence. The structural/functional reason why only specific lysines are modified is poorly understood, and has led to increased efforts to map the sites of PTMs on collagen sequences from different species and to ascertain their potential role in vivo. To investigate this, we purified collagen type I (Col1) from the skins of four animals, then used mass spectrometry and proteomic techniques to identify lysines that were oxidised, galactosylated, glucosylgalactosylated, or glycated in its mature sequence. We found 18 out of the 38 lysines in collagen type Iα1, (Col1A1) and 7 of the 30 lysines in collagen type Iα2 (Col1A2) were glycosylated. Six of these modifications had not been reported before, and included a lysine involved in crosslinking collagen molecules. A Fourier transform analysis of the positions of the glycosylated hydroxylysines showed they display a regular axial distribution with the same d-period observed in collagen fibrils. The significance of this finding in terms of the assembly of collagen molecules into fibrils and of potential restrictions on the growth of the collagen fibrils is discussed.

Upregulation of GLT25D1 in Hepatic Stellate Cells Promotes Liver Fibrosis via the TGF-β1/SMAD3 Pathway In Vivo and In vitro. J Clin Transl Hepatol 2023; 11:1-14. [PMID: 36406310 PMCID: PMC9647113 DOI: 10.14218/jcth.2022.00005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Collagen β(1-O) galactosyltransferase 25 domain 1 (GLT25D1) is associated with collagen production and glycosylation, and its knockout in mice results in embryonic death. However, its role in liver fibrosis remains elusive, particularly in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the primary collagen-producing cells associated with liver fibrogenesis. Herein, we aimed to elucidate the role of GLT25D1 in HSCs. METHODS Bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced mouse liver fibrosis models, primary mouse HSCs (mHSCs), and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1)-stimulated LX-2 human hepatic stellate cells were used in in vivo and in vitro studies. Stable LX-2 cell lines with either GLT25D1 overexpression or knockdown were established using lentiviral transfection. RNA-seq was performed to investigate the genomic differences. HPLC-MS/MS were used to identify glycosylation sites. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and second-harmonic generation/two-photon excited fluorescence (SHG/TPEF) were used to image collagen fibril morphology. RESULTS GLT25D1 expression was upregulated in nonparenchymal cells in human cirrhotic liver tissues. Meanwhile, its knockdown attenuated collagen deposition in BDL-induced mouse liver fibrosis and inhibited mHSC activation. GLT25D1 was overexpressed in activated versus quiescence LX-2 cells and regulated in vitro LX-2 cell activation, including proliferation, contraction, and migration. GLT25D1 also significantly increased liver fibrogenic gene and protein expression. GLT25D1 upregulation promoted HSC activation and enhanced collagen expression through the TGF-β1/SMAD signaling pathway. Mass spectrometry showed that GLT25D1 regulated the glycosylation of collagen in HSCs, affecting the diameter of collagen fibers. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, the upregulation of GLT25D1 in HSCs promoted the progression of liver fibrosis by affecting HSCs activation and collagen stability.

Abstract
Collagens are the most abundant proteins in the body and among the most biosynthetically complex. A molecular ensemble of over 20 endoplasmic reticulum resident proteins participates in collagen biosynthesis and contributes to heterogeneous post-translational modifications. Pathogenic variants in genes encoding collagens cause connective tissue disorders, including osteogenesis imperfecta, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Gould syndrome (caused by mutations in COL4A1 and COL4A2), and pathogenic variants in genes encoding proteins required for collagen biosynthesis can cause similar but overlapping clinical phenotypes. Notably, pathogenic variants in lysyl hydroxylase 3 (LH3) cause a multisystem connective tissue disorder that exhibits pathophysiological features of collagen-related disorders. LH3 is a multifunctional collagen-modifying enzyme; however, its precise role(s) and substrate specificity during collagen biosynthesis has not been defined. To address this critical gap in knowledge, we generated LH3 KO cells and performed detailed quantitative and molecular analyses of collagen substrates. We found that LH3 deficiency severely impaired secretion of collagen α1α1α2(IV) but not collagens α1α1α2(I) or α1α1α1(III). Amino acid analysis revealed that LH3 is a selective LH for collagen α1α1α2(IV) but a general glucosyltransferase for collagens α1α1α2(IV), α1α1α2(I), and α1α1α1(III). Importantly, we identified rare variants that are predicted to be pathogenic in the gene encoding LH3 in two of 113 fetuses with intracranial hemorrhage-a cardinal feature of Gould syndrome. Collectively, our findings highlight a critical role of LH3 in α1α1α2(IV) biosynthesis and suggest that LH3 pathogenic variants might contribute to Gould syndrome.

Comparative genomic and biochemical analyses identify a collagen galactosylhydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase from Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus. Sci Rep 2022; 12:16806.

Abstract
Humans and Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus share numerous homologous genes, including collagens and collagen-modifying enzymes. To explore this homology, we performed a genome-wide comparison between human and mimivirus using DELTA-BLAST (Domain Enhanced Lookup Time Accelerated BLAST) and identified 52 new putative mimiviral proteins that are homologous with human proteins. To gain functional insights into mimiviral proteins, their human protein homologs were organized into Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathways to build a functional network. Collagen and collagen-modifying enzymes form the largest subnetwork with most nodes. Further analysis of this subnetwork identified a putative collagen glycosyltransferase R699. Protein expression test suggested that R699 is highly expressed in Escherichia coli, unlike the human collagen-modifying enzymes. Enzymatic activity assay and mass spectrometric analyses showed that R699 catalyzes the glucosylation of galactosylhydroxylysine to glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine on collagen using uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) but no other UDP-sugars as a sugar donor, suggesting R699 is a mimiviral collagen galactosylhydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase (GGT). To facilitate further analysis of human and mimiviral homologous proteins, we presented an interactive and searchable genome-wide comparison website for quickly browsing human and Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus homologs, which is available at RRID Resource ID: SCR_022140 or https://guolab.shinyapps.io/app-mimivirus-publication/ .

Lysyl hydroxylase 2 mediated collagen post-translational modifications and functional outcomes. Sci Rep 2022; 12:14256.

Abstract
Lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2) is a member of LH family that catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysine (Lys) residues on collagen, and this particular isozyme has been implicated in various diseases. While its function as a telopeptidyl LH is generally accepted, several fundamental questions remain unanswered: 1. Does LH2 catalyze the hydroxylation of all telopeptidyl Lys residues of collagen? 2. Is LH2 involved in the helical Lys hydroxylation? 3. What are the functional consequences when LH2 is completely absent? To answer these questions, we generated LH2-null MC3T3 cells (LH2KO), and extensively characterized the type I collagen phenotypes in comparison with controls. Cross-link analysis demonstrated that the hydroxylysine-aldehyde (Hylald)-derived cross-links were completely absent from LH2KO collagen with concomitant increases in the Lysald-derived cross-links. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that, in LH2KO type I collagen, telopeptidyl Lys hydroxylation was completely abolished at all sites while helical Lys hydroxylation was slightly diminished in a site-specific manner. Moreover, di-glycosylated Hyl was diminished at the expense of mono-glycosylated Hyl. LH2KO collagen was highly soluble and digestible, fibril diameters were diminished, and mineralization impaired when compared to controls. Together, these data underscore the critical role of LH2-catalyzed collagen modifications in collagen stability, organization and mineralization in MC3T3 cells.

Abstract
Sometimes, to move forward, it is necessary to look back. Collagen type I is one of the most commonly used biomaterials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. There are a variety of collagen scaffolds and biomedical products based on collagen have been made, and the development of new ones is still ongoing. Materials, where collagen is in the fibrillar form, have some advantages: they have superior mechanical properties, higher degradation time and, what is most important, mimic the structure of the native extracellular matrix. There are some standard protocols for the formation of collagen fibrils in vitro, but if we look more carefully at those methods, we can see some controversies. For example, why is the formation of collagen gel commonly carried out at 37 °C, when it was well investigated that the temperature higher than 35 °C results in a formation of not well-ordered fibrils? Biomimetic collagen materials can be obtained both using culture medium or neutralizing solution, but it requires a deep understanding of all of the crucial points. One of this point is collagen extraction method, since not every method retains the ability of collagen to reconstitute native banded fibrils. Collagen polymorphism is also often overlooked in spite of the appearance of different polymorphic forms during fibril formation is possible, especially when collagen blends are utilized. In this review, we will not only pay attention to these issues, but we will overview the most prominent works related to the formation of collagen fibrils in vitro starting from the first approaches and moving to the up-to-date recipes.

Abstract
Gross morphology of healthy and degenerated intervertebral discs (IVDs) is largely similar in horses as in dogs and humans. For further comparison, the biochemical composition and the histological and biochemical changes with age and degeneration were analyzed in 41 warmblood horses. From 33 horses, 139 discs and 2 fetal vertebral columns were evaluated and scored histologically. From 13 horses, 73 IVDs were assessed for hydration, DNA, glycosaminoglycans, total collagen, hydroxyl-lysyl-pyridinoline, hydroxylysine, and advanced glycation end-product (AGE) content. From 7 horses, 20 discs were assessed for aggrecan, fibronectin, and collagen type 1 and 2 content. Histologically, tearing of the nucleus pulposus (NP) and cervical annulus fibrosus (AF), and total histological score (tearing and vascular proliferation of the AF, and chondroid metaplasia, chondrocyte-like cell proliferation, presence of notochordal cells, matrix staining, and tearing of the NP) correlated with gross degeneration. Notochordal cells were not seen in IVDs of horses. Age and gross degeneration were positively correlated with AGEs and a fibrotic phenotype, explaining gross degenerative changes. In contrast to dogs and humans, there was no consistent difference in glycosaminoglycan content and hydration between AF and NP, nor decrease of these variables with age or degeneration. Hydroxylysine decrease and collagen 1 and AGEs increase were most prominent in the NP, suggesting degeneration started in the AP. In caudal cervical NPs, AGE deposition was significantly increased in grossly normal IVDs and total collagen significantly increased with age, suggesting increased biomechanical stress and likelihood for spinal disease in this part of the vertebral column.

[PMID: 34825162 PMCID: PMC8605237 DOI: 10.1016/j.mbplus.2021.100070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2021] [Revised: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Tendon and ligament collagens differ in their post-translational lysine and cross-linking chemistry. In ligament collagen, hydroxylysyl aldehyde, permanent cross-linking dominates. Tendon collagen has a mix of cross-links based on lysyl and hydroxylysyl aldehydes. The profile in tendon appears more adapted to facilitating growth, structural remodeling and repair of the fibrillar matrix.
Tendons and ligaments tend to be pooled into a single category as dense elastic bands of collagenous connective tissue. They do have many similar properties, for example both tissues are flexible cords of fibrous tissue that join bone to either muscle or bone. Tendons and ligaments are both prone to degenerate and rupture with only limited capacity to heal, although tendons tend to heal faster than ligaments. Type I collagen constitutes about 80% of the dry weight of tendons and ligaments and is principally responsible for the core strength of each tissue. Collagen synthesis is a complex process with multiple steps and numerous post-translational modifications including proline and lysine hydroxylation, hydroxylysine glycosylation and covalent cross-linking. The chemistry, placement and quantity of intramolecular and intermolecular cross-links are believed to be key contributors to the tissue-specific variations in material strength and biological properties of collagens. As tendons and ligaments grow and develop, the collagen cross-links are known to chemically mature, strengthen and change in profile. Accordingly, changes in cross-linking and other post-translational modifications are likely associated with tissue development and degeneration. Using mass spectrometry, we have compared tendon and ligaments from fetal and adult bovine knee joints to investigate changes in collagen post-translational properties. Although hydroxylation levels at the type I collagen helical cross-linking lysine residues were similar in all adult tissues, ligaments had significantly higher levels of glycosylation at these sites compared to tendon. Differences in lysine hydroxylation were also found between the tissues at the telopeptide cross-linking sites. Total collagen cross-linking analysis, including mature trivalent cross-links and immature divalent cross-links, revealed unique cross-linking profiles between tendon and ligament tissues. Tendons were found to have a significantly higher frequency of smaller diameter collagen fibrils compared with ligament, which we suspect is functionally associated with the unique cross-linking profile of each tissue. Understanding the specific molecular characteristics that define and distinguish these specialized tissues will be important to improving the design of orthopedic treatment approaches.

Abstract
The physiology of connective tissues like tendons and ligaments is highly dependent upon the collagens and other such extracellular matrix molecules hierarchically organized within the tissues. By dry weight, connective tissues are mostly composed of fibrillar collagens. However, several other forms of collagens play essential roles in the regulation of fibrillar collagen organization and assembly, in the establishment of basement membrane networks that provide support for vasculature for connective tissues, and in the formation of extensive filamentous networks that allow for cell-extracellular matrix interactions as well as maintain connective tissue integrity. The structures and functions of these collagens are discussed in this chapter. Furthermore, collagen synthesis is a multi-step process that includes gene transcription, translation, post-translational modifications within the cell, triple helix formation, extracellular secretion, extracellular modifications, and then fibril assembly, fibril modifications, and fiber formation. Each step of collagen synthesis and fibril assembly is highly dependent upon the biochemical structure of the collagen molecules created and how they are modified in the cases of development and maturation. Likewise, when the biochemical structures of collagens or are compromised or these molecules are deficient in the tissues - in developmental diseases, degenerative conditions, or injuries - then the ultimate form and function of the connective tissues are impaired. In this chapter, we also review how biochemistry plays a role in each of the processes involved in collagen synthesis and assembly, and we describe differences seen by anatomical location and region within tendons. Moreover, we discuss how the structures of the molecules, fibrils, and fibers contribute to connective tissue physiology in health, and in pathology with injury and repair.

Abstract
Introduction: Enzymatic cross-linking of the collagens within the extracellular matrix (ECM) catalyzed by enzymes such as lysyl oxidase (LOX) and lysyl oxidase like-enzymes 1-4 (LOXL), transglutaminase 2 (TG2), and peroxidasin (PXDN) contribute to fibrosis progression through extensive collagen cross-linking. Studies in recent years have begun elucidating the important role of collagen cross-linking in perpetuating progression of organ fibrosis independently of inflammation through an increasingly stiff and noncompliant ECM. Therefore, collagen cross-linking and the cross-linking enzymes have become new targets in anti-fibrotic therapy as well as targets of novel biomarkers to properly assess resolution of the fibrotic ECM.Areas covered: The enzymatic actions of enzymes catalyzing collagen cross-linking and their relevance in organ fibrosis. Potential biomarkers specifically quantifying proteolytic fragments of collagen cross-linking is discussed based on Pubmed search done in November 2020 as well as the authors knowledge.Expert opinion: Current methods for the assessment of fibrosis involve the use of invasive and/or cumbersome and expensive methods such as tissue biopsies. Thus, an unmet need exists for the development and validation of minimally invasive biomarkers of proteolytic fragments of cross-linked collagens. These biomarkers may aid in the development and proper assessment of fibrosis resolution in coming years.

Abstract
Fish collagen peptides (FCP) derived from the skin, bones and scales are commercially used as a functional food or dietary supplement for hypertension and diabetes. However, there is limited evidence on the effects of FCP on the osteoblast function in contrast to evidence of the effects on wound healing, diabetes and bone regeneration, which have been obtained from animal studies. In this narrative review, we expound on the availability of FCP by basic research using osteoblasts. Low-concentration FCP upregulates the expression of osteoblast proliferation, differentiation and collagen modifying enzyme-related genes. Furthermore, it could accelerate matrix mineralization. FCP may have potential utility as a biomaterial to improve collagen quality and promote mineralization through the mitogen-activated protein kinase and Smad cascades. However, there are few clinical studies on bone regeneration in human subjects. It is desirable to be applied clinically through clinical study as soon as possible, based on the results from basic research.

Abstract
Cancer cells are a major source of enzymes that modify collagen to create a stiff, fibrotic tumor stroma. High collagen lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2) expression promotes metastasis and is correlated with shorter survival in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and other tumor types. LH2 hydroxylates lysine (Lys) residues on fibrillar collagen's amino- and carboxy-terminal telopeptides to create stable collagen cross-links. Here, we show that electrostatic interactions between the LH domain active site and collagen determine the unique telopeptidyl lysyl hydroxylase (tLH) activity of LH2. However, CRISPR/Cas-9-mediated inactivation of tLH activity does not fully recapitulate the inhibitory effect of LH2 knock out on LUAD growth and metastasis in mice, suggesting that LH2 drives LUAD progression, in part, through a tLH-independent mechanism. Protein homology modeling and biochemical studies identify an LH2 isoform (LH2b) that has previously undetected collagen galactosylhydroxylysyl glucosyltransferase (GGT) activity determined by a loop that enhances UDP-glucose-binding in the GLT active site and is encoded by alternatively spliced exon 13 A. CRISPR/Cas-9-mediated deletion of exon 13 A sharply reduces the growth and metastasis of LH2b-expressing LUADs in mice. These findings identify a previously unrecognized collagen GGT activity that drives LUAD progression.

Abstract
Collagen is a major constituent of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that confers fundamental mechanical properties to tissues. To allow proper folding in triple-helices and organization in quaternary super-structures, collagen molecules require essential post-translational modifications (PTMs), including hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues, and subsequent attachment of glycan moieties (galactose and glucose) to specific hydroxylysine residues on procollagen alpha chains. The resulting galactosyl-hydroxylysine (Gal-Hyl) and less abundant glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine (Glc-Gal-Hyl) are amongst the simplest glycosylation patterns found in nature and are essential for collagen and ECM homeostasis. These collagen PTMs depend on the activity of specialized glycosyltransferase enzymes. Although their biochemical reactions have been widely studied, several key biological questions about the possible functions of these essential PTMs are still missing. In addition, the lack of three-dimensional structures of collagen glycosyltransferase enzymes hinders our understanding of the catalytic mechanisms producing this modification, as well as the impact of genetic mutations causing severe connective tissue pathologies. In this mini-review, we summarize the current knowledge on the biochemical features of the enzymes involved in the production of collagen glycosylations and the current state-of-the-art methods for the identification and characterization of this important PTM.

Abstract
Collagenous stromal accumulations predict a worse clinical outcome in a variety of malignancies. Better tools are needed to elucidate the way in which collagen influences cancer cells. Here, we report a method to generate collagenous matrices that are deficient in key post-translational modifications and evaluate cancer cell behaviors on those matrices. We utilized genetic and biochemical approaches to inhibit lysine hydroxylation and glucosylation on collagen produced by MC-3T3-E1 murine osteoblasts (MC cells). Seeded onto MC cell-derived matrix surface, multicellular aggregates containing lung adenocarcinoma cells alone or in combination with cancer-associated fibroblasts dissociated with temporal and spatial patterns that were influenced by collagen modifications. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of generating defined collagen matrices that are suitable for cell culture studies. Feasibility of culturing multicellular aggregates on matrices with defined collagen modifications. Collagen modifications influence cancer cell behavior. This methodology is a useful tool for cancer researchers.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix component collagen is widely expressed in human tissues and participates in various cellular biological processes. The collagen amount generally remains stable due to intricate regulatory networks, but abnormalities can lead to several diseases. During the development of renal fibrosis and vascular calcification, the expression of collagen is significantly increased, which promotes phenotypic changes in intrinsic renal cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, thereby exacerbating disease progression. Reversing the overexpression of collagen substantially prevents or slows renal fibrosis and vascular calcification in a wide range of animal models, suggesting a novel target for treating patients with these diseases. Stem cell therapy seems to be an effective strategy to alleviate these two conditions. However, recent findings indicate that the natural pore structure of collagen fibers is sufficient to induce the inappropriate differentiation of stem cells and thereby exacerbate renal fibrosis and vascular calcification. A comprehensive understanding of the role of collagen in these diseases and its effect on stem cell biology will assist in improving the unmet requirements for treating patients with kidney disease.

Abstract
Collagens are the most abundant proteins in the extracellular matrix. They provide a framework to build organs and tissues and give structural support to make them resistant to mechanical load and forces. Several intra- and extracellular modifications are needed to make functional collagen molecules, intracellular post-translational modifications of proline and lysine residues having key roles in this. In this article, we provide a review on the enzymes responsible for the proline and lysine modifications, that is collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylases, 3-hydroxylases and lysyl hydroxylases, and discuss their biological functions and involvement in diseases.

Abstract
Collagen undergoes many types of post-translational modifications (PTMs), including intracellular modifications and extracellular modifications. Among these PTMs, glycosylation of hydroxylysine (Hyl) is the most complicated. Experimental studies demonstrated that this PTM ceases once the collagen triple helix is formed and that Hyl-O-glycosylation modulates collagen fibrillogenesis. However, the underlying atomic-level mechanisms of these phenomena remain unclear. In this study, we first adapted the force field parameters for O-linkages between Hyl and carbohydrates and then investigated the influence of Hyl-O-glycosylation on the structure of type I collagen molecule, by performing comprehensive molecular dynamic simulations in explicit solvent of collagen molecule segment with and without the glycosylation of Hyl. Data analysis demonstrated that (i) collagen triple helices remain in a triple-helical structure upon glycosylation of Hyl; (ii) glycosylation of Hyl modulates the peptide backbone conformation and their solvation environment in the vicinity and (iii) the attached sugars are arranged such that their hydrophilic faces are well exposed to the solvent, while their hydrophobic faces point towards the hydrophobic portions of collagen. The adapted force field parameters for O-linkages between Hyl and carbohydrates will aid future computational studies on proteins with Hyl-O-glycosylation. In addition, this work, for the first time, presents the detailed effect of Hyl-O-glycosylation on the structure of human type I collagen at the atomic level, which may provide insights into the design and manufacture of collagenous biomaterials and the development of biomedical therapies for collagen-related diseases.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in osteoblasts plays critical roles in skeletal development and bone homeostasis. Our previous studies showed loss of function of BMPR1A, one of the type 1 receptors for BMPs, in osteoblasts results in increased trabecular bone mass in long bones due to an imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption. Decreased bone resorption was associated with an increased mature-to-immature collagen cross-link ratio and mineral-matrix ratios in the trabecular compartments, and increased tissue-level biomechanical properties. Here, we investigated the bone mass, bone composition and biomechanical properties of ribs and spines in the same genetically altered mouse line to compare outcomes by loss of BMPR1A functions in bones from different anatomic sites and developmental origins. Bone mass was significantly increased in both cortical and trabecular compartments of ribs with minimal to modest changes in compositions. While tissue-levels of biomechanical properties were not changed between control and mutant animals, whole bone levels of biomechanical properties were significantly increased in association with increased bone mass in the mutant ribs. For spines, mutant bones showed increased bone mass in both cortical and trabecular compartments with an increase of mineral content. These results emphasize the differential role of BMP signaling in osteoblasts in bones depending on their anatomical locations, functional loading requirements and developmental origin.

Abstract
Collagen is a structural protein whose internal cross-linking critically determines the properties and functions of connective tissue. Knowing how the cross-linking of collagen changes with age is key to understanding why the mechanical properties of tissues change over a lifetime. The current scientific consensus is that collagen cross-linking increases with age and that this increase leads to tendon stiffening. Here, we show that this view should be reconsidered. Using MS-based analyses, we demonstrated that during aging of healthy C57BL/6 mice, the overall levels of collagen cross-linking in tail tendon decreased with age. However, the levels of lysine glycation in collagen, which is not considered a cross-link, increased dramatically with age. We found that in 16-week-old diabetic db/db mice, glycation reaches levels similar to those observed in 98-week-old C57BL/6 mice, while the other cross-links typical of tendon collagen either decreased or remained the same as those observed in 20-week-old WT mice. These results, combined with findings from mechanical testing of tendons from these mice, indicate that overall collagen cross-linking in mouse tendon decreases with age. Our findings also reveal that lysine glycation appears to be an important factor that contributes to tendon stiffening with age and in diabetes.

Abstract
Tumor progression is marked by dense collagenous matrix accumulations that dynamically reorganize to accommodate a growing and invasive tumor mass. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an essential role in matrix remodeling and influence other processes in the tumor microenvironment, including angiogenesis, immunosuppression, and invasion. These findings have spawned efforts to elucidate CAF functionality at the single-cell level. Here, we will discuss how those efforts have impacted our understanding of the ways in which CAFs govern matrix remodeling and the influence of matrix remodeling on the development of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
The creation of the 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group by the Carpino laboratory facilitated the synthesis of peptides containing acid-sensitive groups, such as O-linked glycosides. To fully investigative collagen biochemistry, one needs to assemble peptides that possess glycosylated 5-hydroxylysine (Hyl). A convenient method for the synthesis of Fmoc-Hyl(ε-tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc),O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS)) and efficient methods for the synthesis of Fmoc-Hyl[ε-Boc,O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)] have been developed. Glycosylated Fmoc-Hyl derivatives were used to construct a series of types I-IV collagen-model triple-helical peptides (THPs) that incorporated known or proposed receptor binding sites. Glycosylation of Hyl was found to strongly down-regulate the binding of CD44 and the α3β1 integrin to collagen, while the impact on α2β1 integrin binding was more modest. Molecular modeling of integrin binding indicated that Hyl glycosylation directly impacted the association between the α3β1 integrin metal ion-dependent adhesion site (MIDAS) and the receptor binding site within type IV collagen. The Fmoc solid-phase strategy ultimately allowed for chemical biology approaches to be utilized to study tumor cell interactions with glycosylated collagen sequences and document the modulation of receptor interactions by Hyl posttranslational modification.

Abstract
Glycosylation in type I collagen occurs as O-linked galactosyl- (G-) lesser and glucosylgalactosyl-hydroxylysine (GG-Hyl); however, its biological significance is still not well understood. To investigate the function of this modification in bone, we have generated preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 (MC)-derived clones, short hairpin (Sh) clones, in which Glt25d1 gene expression was stably suppressed. In Sh clones, the GLT25D1 protein levels were markedly diminished in comparison to controls (MC and those transfected with the empty vector). In Sh collagen, levels of both G- and GG-Hyl were significantly diminished with a concomitant increase in the level of free-Hyl. In addition, the level of immature divalent cross-links significantly diminished while the level of the mature trivalent cross-link increased. As determined by mass spectrometric analysis, seven glycosylation sites were identified in type I collagen and the most predominant site was at the helical cross-linking site, α1-87. At all of the glycosylation sites, the relative levels of G- and GG-Hyl were markedly diminished, i.e., by ∼50-75%, in Sh collagen, and at five of these sites, the level of Lys hydroxylation was significantly increased. The collagen fibrils in Sh clones were larger, and mineralization was impaired. These results indicate that GLT25D1 catalyzes galactosylation of Hyl throughout the type I collagen molecule and that this modification may regulate maturation of collagen cross-linking, fibrillogenesis, and mineralization.

Abstract
Milk remains one of the most frequently recommended solutions for storage of avulsed teeth because it can maintain cell viability and is easily accessible. However, some negative effects of milk on avulsed teeth have been reported, just as the effects of milk on the long-term functions of cells are not clear. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different types of milk on the viability, proliferation, and functions of periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLF)s in vitro. Human PDLFs were culture-medium depleted for 5 min and stored in Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS), whole cow's milk, low-fat cow's milk, or almond milk for 1 h at 25°C. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed using MTT assays. Expression of the genes encoding type I collagen and its modifying enzymes were analyzed using real-time PCR. Collagen matrix production was evaluated using Picrosirius red polarization. Our results showed the overall efficiency of low-fat cow's milk in maintaining the viability and proliferation of PDLFs, and in enhancing the process of collagen production. Almond milk storage resulted in the highest rate of PDLF proliferation, and comparable collagen biosynthesis ability to the control. Therefore, besides low-fat cow's milk, almond milk may potentially be an alternative tooth-storage medium for PDLF preservation and PDL tissue regeneration.

Cyclophilin B control of lysine post-translational modifications of skin type I collagen. PLoS Genet 2019; 15:e1008196.

Abstract
Covalent intermolecular cross-linking of collagen is essential for tissue stability. Recent studies have demonstrated that cyclophilin B (CypB), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, modulates lysine (Lys) hydroxylation of type I collagen impacting cross-linking chemistry. However, the extent of modulation, the molecular mechanism and the functional outcome in tissues are not well understood. Here, we report that, in CypB null (KO) mouse skin, two unusual collagen cross-links lacking Lys hydroxylation are formed while neither was detected in wild type (WT) or heterozygous (Het) mice. Mass spectrometric analysis of type I collagen showed that none of the telopeptidyl Lys was hydroxylated in KO or WT/Het mice. Hydroxylation of the helical cross-linking Lys residues was almost complete in WT/Het but was markedly diminished in KO. Lys hydroxylation at other sites was also lower in KO but to a lesser extent. A key glycosylation site, α1(I) Lys-87, was underglycosylated while other sites were mostly overglycosylated in KO. Despite these findings, lysyl hydroxylases and glycosyltransferase 25 domain 1 levels were significantly higher in KO than WT/Het. However, the components of ER chaperone complex that positively or negatively regulates lysyl hydroxylase activities were severely reduced or slightly increased, respectively, in KO. The atomic force microscopy-based nanoindentation modulus were significantly lower in KO skin than WT. These data demonstrate that CypB deficiency profoundly affects Lys post-translational modifications of collagen likely by modulating LH chaperone complexes. Together, our study underscores the critical role of CypB in Lys modifications of collagen, cross-linking and mechanical properties of skin. Deficiency of cyclophilin B (CypB), an endoplasmic reticulum-resident peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, causes recessive osteogenesis imperfecta type IX, resulting in defective connective tissues. Recent studies using CypB null mice revealed that CypB modulates lysine hydroxylation of type I collagen impacting collagen cross-linking. However, the extent of modulation, the molecular mechanism and the effect on tissue properties are not well understood. In the present study, we show that CypB deficiency in mouse skin results in the formation of unusual collagen cross-links, aberrant tissue formation, altered levels of lysine modifying enzymes and their chaperones, and impaired mechanical property. These findings highlight an essential role of CypB in collagen post-translational modifications which are critical in maintaining the structure and function of connective tissues.

Quantitative proteomic profiling of extracellular matrix and site-specific collagen post-translational modifications in an in vitro model of lung fibrosis. Matrix Biol Plus 2019; 1:100005.

Abstract
Lung fibrosis is characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM), in particular collagens, by fibroblasts in the interstitium. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) alters the expression of many extracellular matrix (ECM) components produced by fibroblasts, but such changes in ECM composition as well as modulation of collagen post-translational modification (PTM) levels have not been comprehensively investigated. Here, we performed mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics analyses to assess changes in the ECM deposited by cultured lung fibroblasts from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients upon stimulation with transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1). In addition to the ECM changes commonly associated with lung fibrosis, MS-based label-free quantification revealed profound effects on enzymes involved in ECM crosslinking and turnover as well as multiple positive and negative feedback mechanisms of TGF-β1 signaling. Notably, the ECM changes observed in this in vitro model correlated significantly with ECM changes observed in patient samples. Because collagens are subject to multiple PTMs with major implications in disease, we implemented a new bioinformatic platform to analyze MS data that allows for the comprehensive mapping and site-specific quantitation of collagen PTMs in crude ECM preparations. These analyses yielded a comprehensive map of prolyl and lysyl hydroxylations as well as lysyl glycosylations for 15 collagen chains. In addition, site-specific PTM analysis revealed novel sites of prolyl-3-hydroxylation and lysyl glycosylation in type I collagen. Interestingly, the results show, for the first time, that TGF-β1 can modulate prolyl-3-hydroxylation and glycosylation in a site-specific manner. Taken together, this proof of concept study not only reveals unanticipated TGF-β1 mediated regulation of collagen PTMs and other ECM components but also lays the foundation for dissecting their key roles in health and disease. The proteomic data has been deposited to the ProteomeXchange Consortium via the MassIVE partner repository with the data set identifier MSV000082958. Quantitative proteomics of TGF-β-induced changes in ECM composition and collagen PTM in pulmonary fibroblasts TGF-β promotes crosslinking and turnover as well as complex feedback mechanisms that alter fibroblast ECM homeostasis. A novel bioinformatic workflow for MS data analysis enabled global mapping and quantitation of known and novel collagen PTMs Quantitative assessment of prolyl-3-hydroxylation site occupancy and lysine-O-glycosylation microheterogeneity TGF-β1 modulates collagen PTMs in a site-specific manner that may favor collagen accumulation in lung fibrosis

Abstract
Collagen is the oldest and most abundant extracellular matrix protein that has found many applications in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries. First, an overview of the family of collagens and their respective structures, conformation, and biosynthesis is provided. The advances and shortfalls of various collagen preparations (e.g., mammalian/marine extracted collagen, cell-produced collagens, recombinant collagens, and collagen-like peptides) and crosslinking technologies (e.g., chemical, physical, and biological) are then critically discussed. Subsequently, an array of structural, thermal, mechanical, biochemical, and biological assays is examined, which are developed to analyze and characterize collagenous structures. Lastly, a comprehensive review is provided on how advances in engineering, chemistry, and biology have enabled the development of bioactive, 3D structures (e.g., tissue grafts, biomaterials, cell-assembled tissue equivalents) that closely imitate native supramolecular assemblies and have the capacity to deliver in a localized and sustained manner viable cell populations and/or bioactive/therapeutic molecules. Clearly, collagens have a long history in both evolution and biotechnology and continue to offer both challenges and exciting opportunities in regenerative medicine as nature's biomaterial of choice.

Abstract
Fibrillar type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein in most tissues and organs. One of the unique and functionally important characteristics of collagen is sequential posttranslational modifications of lysine (Lys) residues. In the endoplasmic reticulum, hydroxylation of specific Lys occurs producing 5-hydroxylysine (Hyl). Then, to the 5-hydroxyl group of Hyl, a single galactose unit can be attached to form galactosyl-Hyl (Gal-Hyl) and further glucose can be added to Gal-Hyl to form glucosylgalactosyl-Hyl (GlcGal-Hyl). These are the only two O-linked glycosides found in mature type I collagen. It has been shown that this modification is critically involved in a number of biological and pathological processes likely through its regulatory roles in collagen fibrillogenesis, intermolecular cross-linking, and collagen-cell interaction. Recently, with the advances in molecular/cell biology and analytical chemistry, the molecular mechanisms of collagen glycosylation have been gradually deciphered, and the type and extent of glycosylation at the specific molecular loci can now be quantitatively analyzed. In this chapter, we describe quantitative analysis of collagen glycosylation by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and semiquantitative, site-specific analysis by HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Collagens represent a large family of structurally related proteins containing a unique triple-helical structure. Among them, the fibril-forming collagens are the most abundant in vertebrates providing tissues with form and stability. One of the characteristics of the fibrillar collagens is its sequential posttranslational modifications of specific lysine residues that have major effects on molecular assembly and stability of the fibrils in the extracellular space. Hydroxylation of lysine residues is the first modification catalyzed by lysyl hydroxylases, and is critical for the following glycosylation and in determining the fate of covalent cross-linking. This chapter presents an overview of lysine hydroxylation and cross-linking of collagen, and the analytical methods we have developed.

Abstract
The sparse but functionally essential post-translational collagen modification 5-hydroxylysine can undergo further transformations, including crosslinking, O-glycosylation, and glycation. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and stable isotope enriched lysine incorporation provide sufficient solid-state NMR sensitivity to identify these adducts directly in skin and vascular smooth muscle cell extracellular matrix (ECM), without extraction procedures, by comparison with chemical shifts of model compounds. Thus, DNP provides access to the elucidation of structural consequences of collagen modifications in intact tissue.

Abstract
Collagen lysyl hydroxylases (LH1-3) are Fe2+- and 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG)-dependent oxygenases that maintain extracellular matrix homeostasis. High LH2 levels cause stable collagen cross-link accumulations that promote fibrosis and cancer progression. However, developing LH antagonists will require structural insights. Here, we report a 2 Å crystal structure and X-ray scattering on dimer assemblies for the LH domain of L230 in Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus. Loop residues in the double-stranded β-helix core generate a tail-to-tail dimer. A stabilizing hydrophobic leucine locks into an aromatic tyrosine-pocket on the opposite subunit. An active site triad coordinates Fe2+. The two active sites flank a deep surface cleft that suggest dimerization creates a collagen-binding site. Loss of Fe2+-binding disrupts the dimer. Dimer disruption and charge reversal in the cleft increase Km and reduce LH activity. Ectopic L230 expression in tumors promotes collagen cross-linking and metastasis. These insights suggest inhibitor targets for fibrosis and cancer. Collagen lysyl hydroxylases promote cancer progression. Here the authors present the crystal structure of the lysyl hydroxylase domain of L230 from Acanthamoeba polyphagamimivirus, which is of interest for LH inhibitor development, and show that ectopic expression of L230 in tumors promotes collagen cross-linking and metastasis.

Abstract
Intratumoral fibrosis results from the deposition of a cross-linked collagen matrix by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). This type of fibrosis has been shown to exert mechanical forces and create a biochemical milieu that, together, shape intratumoral immunity and influence tumor cell metastatic behavior. In this Review, we present recent evidence that CAFs and tumor cells are regulated by provisional matrix molecules, that metastasis results from a change in the type of stromal collagen cross-link, and that fibrosis and inflammation perpetuate each other through proteolytic and chemotactic mediators released into the tumor stroma. We also discuss aspects of the emerging biology that have potential therapeutic value.

Abstract
Fibrillar collagens represent the most abundant extracellular matrix proteins in vertebrates providing tissues and organs with form, stability, and connectivity. For such mechanical functions, the formation of covalent intermolecular cross-linking between molecules is essential. This process, the final posttranslational modification during collagen biosynthesis, is initiated by conversion of specific lysine and hydroxylysine residues to the respective aldehydes by the action of lysyl oxidases. This conversion triggers a series of condensation reactions with the juxtaposed lysine-aldehyde, lysine, hydroxylysine, and histidine residues within the same and neighboring molecules resulting in di-, tri-, and tetravalent cross-links. Elastin, another class of extracellular matrix protein, is also stabilized by the lysyl oxidase-mediated mechanism but involving only lysine residues leading to the formation of unique tetravalent cross-links. This chapter presents an overview of fibrillar collagen cross-linking, and the analytical methods for collagen and elastin cross-links we have developed.

Abstract
Cyclophilin B (CypB) is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident protein that regulates collagen folding, and also contributes to prolyl 3-hydroxylation (P3H) and lysine (Lys) hydroxylation of collagen. In this study, we characterized dentin type I collagen in CypB null (KO) mice, a model of recessive osteogenesis imperfecta type IX, and compared to those of wild-type (WT) and heterozygous (Het) mice. Mass spectrometric analysis demonstrated that the extent of P3H in KO collagen was significantly diminished compared to WT/Het. Lys hydroxylation in KO was significantly diminished at the helical cross-linking sites, α1/α2(I) Lys-87 and α1(I) Lys-930, leading to a significant increase in the under-hydroxylated cross-links and a decrease in fully hydroxylated cross-links. The extent of glycosylation of hydroxylysine residues was, except α1(I) Lys-87, generally higher in KO than WT/Het. Some of these molecular phenotypes were distinct from other KO tissues reported previously, indicating the dentin-specific control mechanism through CypB. Histological analysis revealed that the width of predentin was greater and irregular, and collagen fibrils were sparse and significantly smaller in KO than WT/Het. These results indicate a critical role of CypB in dentin matrix formation, suggesting a possible association between recessive osteogenesis imperfecta and dentin defects that have not been clinically detected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Specifics of the biochemical pathways that modulate collagen cross-links in the periodontal ligament (PDL) are not fully defined. Better knowledge of the collagen post-translational modifications that give PDL its distinct tissue properties is needed to understand the pathogenic mechanisms of human PDL destruction in periodontal disease. In this study, the post-translational phenotypes of human and mouse PDL type I collagen were surveyed using mass spectrometry. PDL is a highly specialized connective tissue that joins tooth cementum to alveolar bone. The main function of the PDL is to support the tooth within the alveolar bone while under occlusal load after tooth eruption. Almost half of the adult population in the USA has periodontal disease resulting from inflammatory destruction of the PDL, leading to tooth loss. Interestingly, PDL is unique from other ligamentous connective tissues as it has a high rate of turnover. Rapid turnover is believed to be an important characteristic for this specialized ligament to function within the oral-microbial environment. Like other ligaments, PDL is composed predominantly of type I collagen. Collagen synthesis is a complex process with multiple steps and numerous post-translational modifications including hydroxylation, glycosylation and cross-linking. The chemistry, placement and quantity of intermolecular cross-links are believed to be important regulators of tissue-specific structural and mechanical properties of collagens. MATERIAL AND METHODS Type I collagen was isolated from several mouse and human tissues, including PDL, and analyzed by mass spectrometry for post-translational variances. RESULTS The collagen telopeptide cross-linking lysines of PDL were found to be partially hydroxylated in human and mouse, as well as in other types of ligament. However, the degree of hydroxylation and glycosylation at the helical Lys87 cross-linking residue varied across species and between ligaments. These data suggest that different types of ligament collagen, notably PDL, appear to have evolved distinctive lysine/hydroxylysine cross-linking variations. Another distinguishing feature of PDL collagen is that, unlike other ligaments, it lacks any of the known prolyl 3-hydroxylase 2-catalyzed 3-hydroxyproline site modifications that characterize tendon and ligament collagens. This gives PDL a novel modification profile, with hybrid features of both ligament and skin collagens. CONCLUSION This distinctive post-translational phenotype may be relevant for understanding why some individuals are at risk of rapid PDL destruction in periodontal disease and warrants further investigation. In addition, developing a murine model for studying PDL collagen may be useful for exploring potential clinical strategies for promoting PDL regeneration.

Abstract
In this paper, we report three patients with severe palmoplantar keratoderma associated with ichthyosis and sensorineural deafness. Biallelic mutations were found in VPS33B, encoding VPS33B, a Sec1/Munc18 family protein that interacts with Rab11a and Rab25 proteins and is involved in trafficking of the collagen-modifying enzyme LH3. Two patients were homozygous for the missense variant p.Gly131Glu, whereas one patient was compound heterozygous for p.Gly131Glu and the splice site mutation c.240-1G>C, previously reported in patients with arthrogryposis renal dysfunction and cholestasis syndrome. We demonstrated the pathogenicity of variant p.Gly131Glu by assessing the interactions of the mutant VPS33B construct and its ability to traffic LH3. Compared with wild-type VPS33B, the p.Gly131Glu mutant VPS33B had reduced coimmunoprecipitation and colocalization with Rab11a and Rab25 and did not rescue LH3 trafficking. Confirming the cell-based experiments, we found deficient LH3-specific collagen lysine modifications in patients' urine and skin fibroblasts. Additionally, the epidermal ultrastructure of the p.Gly131Glu patients mirrored defects in tamoxifen-inducible VPS33B-deficient Vps33bfl/fl-ERT2 mice. Both patients and murine models revealed an impaired epidermal structure, ascribed to aberrant secretion of lamellar bodies, which are essential for epidermal barrier formation. Our results demonstrate that p.Gly131Glu mutant VPS33B causes an autosomal recessive keratoderma-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome.

Abstract
Collagen is a macromolecule that has versatile roles in physiology, ranging from structural support to mediating cell signaling. Formation of mature collagen fibrils out of procollagen α-chains requires a variety of enzymes and chaperones in a complex process spanning both intracellular and extracellular post-translational modifications. These processes include modifications of amino acids, folding of procollagen α-chains into a triple-helical configuration and subsequent stabilization, facilitation of transportation out of the cell, cleavage of propeptides, aggregation, cross-link formation, and finally the formation of mature fibrils. Disruption of any of the proteins involved in these biosynthesis steps potentially result in a variety of connective tissue diseases because of a destabilized extracellular matrix. In this review, we give a revised overview of the enzymes and chaperones currently known to be relevant to the conversion of lysine and proline into hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, respectively, and the O-glycosylation of hydroxylysine and give insights into the consequences when these steps are disrupted.

Abstract
Post-translational modifications are necessary for collagen precursor molecules (procollagens) to acquire final shape and function. However, the mechanism and contribution of collagen modifications that occur outside the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi are not understood. We discovered that VIPAR, with its partner proteins, regulate sorting of lysyl hydroxylase 3 (LH3, also known as PLOD3) into newly identified post-Golgi collagen IV carriers and that VIPAR-dependent sorting is essential for modification of lysines in multiple collagen types. Identification of structural and functional collagen abnormalities in cells and tissues from patients and murine models of the autosomal recessive multisystem disorder Arthrogryposis, Renal dysfunction and Cholestasis syndrome caused by VIPAR and VPS33B deficiencies confirmed our findings. Thus, regulation of post-Golgi LH3 trafficking is essential for collagen homeostasis and for the development and function of multiple organs and tissues.

Loss of BMP signaling through BMPR1A in osteoblasts leads to greater collagen cross-link maturation and material-level mechanical properties in mouse femoral trabecular compartments. Bone 2016; 88:74-84. [PMID: 27113526 PMCID: PMC4899267 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2016.04.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2014] [Revised: 03/26/2016] [Accepted: 04/22/2016] [Indexed: 01/23/2023]
Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways play critical roles in skeletal development and new bone formation. Our previous study, however, showed a negative impact of BMP signaling on bone mass because of the osteoblast-specific loss of a BMP receptor (i.e. BMPR1A) showing increased trabecular bone volume and mineral density in mice. Here, we investigated the bone quality and biomechanical properties of the higher bone mass associated with BMPR1A deficiency using the osteoblast-specific Bmpr1a conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model. Collagen biochemical analysis revealed greater levels of the mature cross-link pyridinoline in the cKO bones, in parallel with upregulation of collagen modifying enzymes. Raman spectroscopy distinguished increases in the mature to immature cross-link ratio and mineral to matrix ratio in the trabecular compartments of cKO femora, but not in the cortical compartments. The mineral crystallinity was unchanged in the cKO in either the trabecular or cortical compartments. Further, we tested the intrinsic material properties by nanoindentation and found significantly higher hardness and elastic modulus in the cKO trabecular compartments, but not in the cortical compartments. Four point bending tests of cortical compartments showed lower structural biomechanical properties (i.e. strength and stiffness) in the cKO bones due to the smaller cortical areas. However, there were no significant differences in biomechanical performance at the material level, which was consistent with the nanoindentation test results on the cortical compartment. These studies emphasize the pivotal role of BMPR1A in the determination of bone quality and mechanical integrity under physiological conditions, with different impact on femoral cortical and trabecular compartments.

Cyclophilin-B Modulates Collagen Cross-linking by Differentially Affecting Lysine Hydroxylation in the Helical and Telopeptidyl Domains of Tendon Type I Collagen. J Biol Chem 2016; 291:9501-12. [PMID: 26934917 DOI: 10.1074/jbc.m115.699470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2015] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Covalent intermolecular cross-linking provides collagen fibrils with stability. The cross-linking chemistry is tissue-specific and determined primarily by the state of lysine hydroxylation at specific sites. A recent study on cyclophilin B (CypB) null mice, a model of recessive osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrated that lysine hydroxylation at the helical cross-linking site of bone type I collagen was diminished in these animals (Cabral, W. A., Perdivara, I., Weis, M., Terajima, M., Blissett, A. R., Chang, W., Perosky, J. E., Makareeva, E. N., Mertz, E. L., Leikin, S., Tomer, K. B., Kozloff, K. M., Eyre, D. R., Yamauchi, M., and Marini, J. C. (2014) PLoS Genet 10, e1004465). However, the extent of decrease appears to be tissue- and molecular site-specific, the mechanism of which is unknown. Here we report that although CypB deficiency resulted in lower lysine hydroxylation in the helical cross-linking sites, it was increased in the telopeptide cross-linking sites in tendon type I collagen. This resulted in a decrease in the lysine aldehyde-derived cross-links but generation of hydroxylysine aldehyde-derived cross-links. The latter were absent from the wild type and heterozygous mice. Glycosylation of hydroxylysine residues was moderately increased in the CypB null tendon. We found that CypB interacted with all lysyl hydroxylase isoforms (isoforms 1-3) and a putative lysyl hydroxylase-2 chaperone, 65-kDa FK506-binding protein. Tendon collagen in CypB null mice showed severe size and organizational abnormalities. The data indicate that CypB modulates collagen cross-linking by differentially affecting lysine hydroxylation in a site-specific manner, possibly via its interaction with lysyl hydroxylases and associated molecules. This study underscores the critical importance of collagen post-translational modifications in connective tissue formation.

Abstract
Tryptic peptide mapping analysis of a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-expressed, recombinant IgG1 monoclonal antibody revealed a previously unreported +16 Da modification. Through a combination of MS(n) experiments, and preparation and analysis of known synthetic peptides, the possibility of a sequence variant (Ala to Ser) was ruled out and the presence of hydroxylysine was confirmed. Post-translational hydroxylation of lysine was found in a consensus sequence (XKG) known to be the site of modification in other proteins such as collagen, and was therefore presumed to result from the activity of the CHO homolog of the lysyl hydroxylase complex. Although this consensus sequence was present in several locations in the antibody sequence, only a single site on the heavy-chain Fab was found to be modified.

Abstract
Collagen IV is the main structural protein that provides a scaffold for assembly of basement membrane proteins. Posttranslational modifications such as hydroxylation of proline and lysine and glycosylation of lysine are essential for the functioning of collagen IV triple-helical molecules. These modifications are highly abundant posing a difficult challenge for in-depth characterization of collagen IV using conventional proteomics approaches. Herein, we implemented an integrated pipeline combining high-resolution mass spectrometry with different fragmentation techniques and an optimized bioinformatics workflow to study posttranslational modifications in mouse collagen IV. We achieved 82% sequence coverage for the α1 chain, mapping 39 glycosylated hydroxylysine, 148 4-hydroxyproline, and seven 3-hydroxyproline residues. Further, we employed our pipeline to map the modifications on human collagen IV and achieved 85% sequence coverage for the α1 chain, mapping 35 glycosylated hydroxylysine, 163 4-hydroxyproline, and 14 3-hydroxyproline residues. Although lysine glycosylation heterogeneity was observed in both mouse and human, 21 conserved sites were identified. Likewise, five 3-hydroxyproline residues were conserved between mouse and human, suggesting that these modification sites are important for collagen IV function. Collectively, these are the first comprehensive maps of hydroxylation and glycosylation sites in collagen IV, which lay the foundation for dissecting the key role of these modifications in health and disease.
