Learning objective :
After reading this topic you should be able to describe:
* The composition, structure, components,
including collagen, noncollagenous proteins,
proteoglycans of the ECM.
* The functional roles of the ECM in tissues
* The pathway of biosynthesis and further of
proteoglycans.
* The pathology of genetic diseases resulting from
error in the synthesis or turnover of ECM
components.
The ECM is a complex network of secreted macromolecules located
in the extracellular space.
* proteoglycans (GAGs)
- mucopolysaccharidosis
* a family of proteins
* the mayor component of most connective tissues,
* constitutes: 25% -30% total protein mass in the body
* have an important role in tissue - architecture and
- integrity,
in mediating a wide variety of
- cell-cell and
- cell-matrix interactions.
* > 25 distinct types of collagens have been identified.
* all collagen types have a triple helical structure
* mature collagen type I,
- containing 1000 amino acids
- each polypeptide sub unit = α-chain into is twisted a left-handed
polyproline helix of three residues per turn.
Three of these α-chain are then wound into
a right-handed super helix forming a rodlike molecule
1.4 nm diameter
300 nm long.
* a striking of collagen is characteristic the occurrence of glycine residues
at every third position of the triple helical portion of the α-chain. This is
necessary because glycine is the only amino acid small enough to be
accomodated in helix.
The repeating structure, represented as (Gly-X-Y)n, is an absolute
requirement for the formation of the triple helix.
While X and Y can be another amino acids, about
- 100 of X positions are proline
- 100 of the positions are hydroxyproline.
Proline and hydroxyproline confered the rigidity on the collagen molecule.
Hydroxyproline is formed by the posttranslational hydroxylation of
peptide- bound proline residues catalyzed by the enzyme prolyl
hydroxylase, whose cofactors are vitamin C and α-ketoglutarate.
Lysine in the Y position may also be posttranslationally modified to
hydroxyliysine through the action of lysyl hydroxylase, an enzyme with
similar cofactors. Some of these hydroxy-lysine may be further
modified by the addition of galactose or galactosyl-glucose through an
O-glycosidic linkage, a glycosylation site that is unique to collagen.
Collagen fibers are further stabilized by the formation of covalent
cross-links, both within and between the triple helical units.
These cross-links form through the action of lysyl oxidase, a copper-
dependent enzyme that oxidatively deaminates the ε-amino groups of
certain lysine and hydroxylysine residues, yielding reactive aldehydes.
Such aldehydes can form aldol condensation products with other
lysine- or hydroxylysine-derived aldehydes or form Schiff bases with
the ε-amino groups of unoxidized lysines or hydroxylisines.
• These reactions, after further chemical rearrangement,
result in the stable covalent cross-links that are important
for the tensile strength of fibers. Histidine may also be
involved in certain cross-links.

FIBRILLIN
MARFAN SYNDROME
- is due to mutations in the gene for fibrillin-1, a protein present in microfibrils
- Fibrillin-1 is a large glycoprotein (350kDa).
- It is secreted into the ECM by fibroblasts and becomes incorporated into the
insoluble microfibrils, which appear to provide a scaffold for deposition of
elastin.
- Fibrillin-2 (chromosome 5),
- mutation in this gene are linked to causation of congenital contractural
arahnodactyly, but not to Marfan syndrome
- may be important in deposition of microfibrils early in development
