1. collagen 2. elastin 3. glycoproteins 4. proteoglycans |
list the 4 components of extra-cellular matrix |
collagen |

repeating structures that are non-covalenly linked |

in cells |
where is ECM made? |
glycoproteins |
mostly protein, modified with carbs, no repeated structures, component of ECM |
collagen |
25% of all protein in the boy, 74% of protein in skin |
proteoglycans |
component of ECM, mostly carbs modified by proteins (less protein that others) |
tropocollagen |
basic structural unit of collagen |
tropocollagen |
more easily extractable from tissues of young animals, because older animals have more cross-linking |

prolyl hydroxylase |
what enzyme forms Hyp? |
must be on amino side of glycyl residue |
where must the prolyl residue be to undergo 4-hydroxylation to form Hyp? |
no, only the ones on the amino side of glycyl |
is free proline a substrate for prolyl hydroxylase? |
iron in Fe2+ ferrous, reduced state (need vitamin C for this -ascorbate) |
what is present at the enzyme active site of prolyl hydroxylase and what is needed to keep it in the reduced state? |
Scurvy, the integrity of blood vessels are compromised due to improper/insufficient collagen formation causing bloody gums |
what is hypovitaminosis C, and how does it present? |
what does the equation for Hyp formation look like? |
galactosyl transferase and glucosyl transferase |
what enzyme is required for hydroxylysine glycosylation? |
before helix formatin |
when does glycosylation of Hyl residues occur relative to helix formation? |
alpha1 |
most common type of constituent peptide in tropocollagen |
dehydroascorbate, it is a non-specific antioxidant that removes oxygen. it is peed out |
what does ascorbate become after oxidation, and what happens if it builds up? |
collagen is more tightly wound(d= 3.3 coll vs 3.61 aplha), and more extended (pitch)9.5 vs 5.4 alpha |
compare collagen to a right handed aplha helix |
steric repulsion of pyrrolidone rings of proline residues (no intra chain hydrogen bonds like alpha helix) |
what are the stabilizing forces of tropocollagen? |
1. interstrand hydrogen bonds 2. hydrogen bonds between water and Hyp |
what are the stabilizing forces of mature collagen? |
donor: backbone NH groups of Gly acceptor: backbone CO groups direction = transverse |
what is the donor/acceptor of inter-strand hydrogen bonds of mature collagen and what direction? |
ppg has lower melting point(24) due to less H bonds phg has higher melting point(58) due to more H bonds |
compare pro-pro-gly chains to pro-hyp-gly(like in tropocollagen) chains |
n: intrachain disulfide bonds, collagen domain C: inter + intra chain disulfide bonds (sulfide bonds from cysteine S residues) |
what structures exist at n terminal peptides of tropocollagen and at c terminal? |
extracellular space |
where is the conversion of procollagen to tropocollagen? |
hypermobile joints, stretchable skin, short stature, due to deficiency of procollagen N-protease which cuts of n terminal peptide |
what is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Type VII |
quarter staggered |
tropocollagen fibrils associate and form collagen fibrils, how are they arranged? |
cross linking in mature collagen |
what is the difference between mature collagen and collagen fibrils? |
draw the aldol cross-link reaction, what does it require? |
aldol cross links 2 lysyl residues by making them into 2 allysine (1 allysine link to 1 lysine) dependent on copper, b6 and oxygen |
what is lysyl oxidase and what is it dependent on? |
lysine + allysine -> shiff base (aldimine) -> (reduced) lysinorleucine double bond is lost between nitrogen and carbon |
what are the steps in the schiff base and lysinorleucine cross-link reactions? |
extremely fragile collagen in animals caused by ingestion of the seeds of sweet pea (Lathyris odoratus). the toxic agent = beta aminopropionitrile which inhibits lysyl oxidase (the cross linking enzyme) |
what is lathyrism? |
1. transcription(nucleus) 2. polypeptide synthesis (in cyto with ER) 3. hydroxylation/glycosylation (in ER) 4. procollagen(triple helix formatin in ER) |
what are the first 4 steps of collagen formation? |
5. secretion (golgi) 6. tropocollagen formation (extracellular) 7. collagen fibril formation (extracellular) 8. formation of cross-links to yield mature collagen fibrils (extracellular |
what are the last 4 steps of collagen formation? |
aka brittle bone disease/lobstein syndrome. bone fragility stemming from abnormalities in collagen molecule forming the bone matrix. disorder of type 1 collagen. mostly autosomal dominant molecular defect: mutations confined to structural genes for constituent peptides of collagen |
