Opis:
Procollagen C-endopeptidase (BMP-1) and N-endopeptidase (ADAMTS-2) are key enzymes for correct and efficient conversion of fibrillar procollagens to their self assembling monomers. Thus, they have an essential role in building and controlling the quality of extracellular matrices (ECMs). Here, we tested inhibition of activity of the largest variant of BMP-1, a recombinant mammalian tolloid (mTld), in vitro by three synthetic peptides with conservative amino-acid sequences found in chordin using procollagen type I as a substrate. We also verified the specific action of best inhibitory 16 amino-acid peptide in the procollagen type I cleavage assay with the use of ADAMTS-2 (procollagen N-endopeptidase). Subsequently, we determined the critical residues and minimal sequence of six amino acids in the original 16 amino-acid peptide required to maintain the inhibitory potential. Studies on the interactions of 6 and 16 amino acid long peptides with the enzyme revealed their binding to non-catalytic, regulatory domains of mTld; the inhibitory activity was not due to the competition of peptides with the substrate for the enzyme active center, because mTld did not cleave the peptides. However, in the presence of mTld both peptides underwent cyclization by disulfide bond formation. Concluding, we have shown that procollagen C-endopeptidase may be specifically blocked via its non-catalytic domains by synthetic peptide consisting of 6 amino acids in the sequence found in highly conservative region of chordin. Thus, we hypothesize that the 6 amino-acid peptide could be a good candidate for anti-fibrotic drug development.

Opis:
Although over 85% of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) cases are associated with mutations in the procollagen type I genes (COL1A1 or COL1A2), no hot spots for the mutations were associated with particular clinical phenotypes. Eight patients that were studied here, diagnosed with OI by clinical standards, are from the Polish population with no ethnic background indicated. Previously unpublished mutations were found in six out of those eight patients. Genotypes for polymorphisms (Sp1 - rs1800012 and PvuII - rs412777), linked to bone formation and metabolism were determined. Mutations were found in exons 2, 22, 50 and in introns 13 and 51 of the COL1A1 gene. In COL1A2, one mutation was identified in exon 22. Deletion type mutations in COL1A1 that resulted in OI type I had no effect on collagen type I secretion, nor on its intracellular accumulation. Also, a single base substitution in I13 (c.904-9 G>T) was associated with the OI type I. The OI type III was associated with a single base change in I51 of COL1A1, possibly causing an exon skipping. Also, a missense mutation in COL1A2 changing Gly→Cys in the central part of the triple helical domain of the collagen type I molecule caused OI type III. It affected secretion of the heterotrimeric form of procollagen type I. However, no intracellular accumulation of procollagen chains could be detected. Mutation in COL1A2 affected its incorporation into procollagen type I. The results obtained shall help in genetic counseling of OI patients and provide a rational support for making informed, life important decisions by them and their families.
