Fibrous Proteins
By
DR SHAMIM AKRAM
- Collagen and elastin, well-characterized fibrous
proteins of the extracellular matrix that serve structural
functions in connective tissues of the body and Keratine
in ectodermal tissues skin,nails,hair,horn,hoof of animals.
- Collagen and elastin, found as components of skin,
connective tissue, blood vessel walls, and sclera and
cornea of the eye.
- Fibrous protein exhibits special mechanical properties,
resulting from its unique structure, which are obtained by
combining specific amino acids into regular, secondary
structural elements.
- This is in contrast to globular proteins, whose shapes are
the result of complex interactions between secondary,
tertiary, and, sometimes, quaternary structural elements.
COLLAGEN
-Collagen is the most abundant protein in the
human body.
-A typical collagen molecule --- long, rigid
structure in which three polypeptides (referred to
as “α chains”) are wound around one another in
a rope-like triple helix
Although these molecules are found throughout
the body, their types and organization are
dictated by the structural role collagen plays in a
particular organ.
- Gel like structure: Vitreous humor
- Tight parallel structure: Tendon
- Stacked transparent structure: Cornea
- Arranged at an angle: Bone
Types of collagen
• The collagen superfamily of proteins includes more than
25 collagen types, as well as additional proteins that have
collagen-like domains.
• The three polypeptide α chains are held together by
hydrogen bonds between the chains.
• Variations in the amino acid sequence of the α chains result
in structural components that are about the same size
(approximately 1,000 amino acids long), but with slightly
different properties.
• These α chains are combined to form the various types of
collagen found in the tissues.
• most common collagen, type I, contains two chains called
α1 and one chain called α2 (α12α2), whereas type II
collagen contains three α1 chains (α13).
The collagens can be organized into three
groups, based on their location and
functions in the body
•
Most abundant type of Collagen
1. Fibril-forming collagens: Types I, II, and III are the fibrillar
collagens, and have the rope-like structure for a typical
collagen molecule.
In the electron microscope, these linear polymers of fibrils have
characteristic banding patterns, reflecting the regular staggered
packing of the individual collagen molecules in the fibril
.
- Type I collagen fibers are found in supporting
elements of high tensile strength (for example,
tendon and cornea), whereas fibers formed from
type II collagen molecules are restricted to
cartilaginous structures.
- The fibers derived from type III collagen are
prevalent in more distensible tissues, such as blood
vessels
2. Network-forming collagens: Types IV and VII
form a three-dimensional mesh, rather than distinct
fibrils. For example, type IV molecules assemble into a
sheet or meshwork that constitutes a major part of
basement membranes.

network formed by association of
collagen type IV monomers.
3. Fibril-associated collagens: Types IX and XII
bind to the surface of collagen fibrils, linking these
fibrils to one another and to other components in
the extracellular matrix
Structure of collagen
1. Amino acid sequence:
- Collagen is rich in proline and glycine, both of which are important in the
formation of the triple-stranded helix.
- Proline facilitates the formation of the helical conformation of each α chain
because its ring structure causes “kinks” in the peptidechain.
(The presence of proline dictates that the helical conformation of the α chain
cannot be an α helix.)
- Glycine, the smallest amino acid, is found in every third position of the
polypeptide chain.
- Glycine fits into the restricted spaces where the three chains of the helix
come together.
- The glycine residues are part of a repeating sequence, –Gly–X–Y–,
where X is frequently proline and Y is often hydroxyproline (but can be
hydroxylysine.
- Thus, most of the α chain can be regarded as a polytripeptide whose
sequence can be represented as (–Gly–Pro–Hyp–)333.
2. Triple-helical structure:
Unlike most globular proteins that are folded into
compact structures, collagen, a fibrous protein, has an
elongated, triple-helical structure that places many of
its amino acid side chains on the surface of the triple-
helical molecule.
Note: This allows bond formation between the exposed
R-groups of neighboring collagen monomers, resulting
in their aggregation into long fibers.
3. Hydroxyproline and
hydroxylysine: - Collagen contains
hydroxyproline (hyp) and
hydroxylysine (hyl), which are not
present in most other proteins.
- These residues result from the
hydroxylation of some of the proline
and lysine residues after their
incorporation into polypeptide
chains. - The hydroxylation is, thus,
an example of posttranslational
modification.
- Hydroxyproline is important in
stabilizing the triple-helical structure
of collagen because it maximizes
interchain hydrogen bond formation.
ELASTIN
In contrast to collagen, which forms fibers that are
tough and have high tensile strength, elastin is a
connective tissue protein with rubber-like
properties.
- Elastic fibers composed of elastin and glycoprotein
microfibrils are found in the lungs, the walls of large
arteries, and elastic ligaments.
- They can be stretched to several times their normal
length, but recoil to their original shape when the
stretching force is relaxed.
Structure of elastin
- Elastin, insoluble protein polymer synthesized from a precursor,
tropoelastin, a linear polypeptide composed of about 700 amino
acids that are primarily small and nonpolar (for example, glycine,
alanine, and valine).
- Elastin also rich in proline and lysine, but contains only a little
hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine.
- Tropoelastin secreted by the cell into the extracellular space.
- There it interacts with specific glycoprotein microfibrils, such as
fibrillin, which function as a scaffold onto which tropoelastin is
deposited.
- Some of the lysyl side chains of the tropoelastin polypeptides are
oxidatively deaminated by lysyl oxidase, forming allysine residues.
- Three of the allysyl side chains plus one unaltered lysyl side chain
from the same or neighboring polypeptides form a desmosine
cross-link
This produces elastin—an extensively interconnected, rubbery
network that can stretch and bend in any direction when
stressed, giving connective tissue elasticity
Biosynthesis of collagen
- The polypeptide precursors of the collagen
molecule are formed in fibroblasts (or in the
related osteoblasts of bone and chondroblasts
of cartilage), and are secreted into the
extracellular matrix.
- After enzymic modification, the mature
collagen monomers aggregate and become
cross-linked to form collagen fibers.
1. Formation of pro-α chains: Collagen is one of many proteins that
normally function outside of cells. Like most proteins produced for
export, the newly synthesized polypeptide precursors of α chains
(prepro-α chains) contain a special amino acid sequence at their
N-terminal ends. (signal sequence )
The signal sequence is rapidly cleaved in the
RER to yield a precursor of collagen called a pro-α chain.
2. Hydroxylation:
- The pro-α chains are processed by a
number of enzymic steps within the
lumen of the RER while the polypeptides
are still being synthesized .
- Proline and lysine residues found in the
Y-position of the –Gly–X–Y– sequence
can be hydroxylated to form
hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine
residues.
- These hydroxylation reactions require
molecular oxygen, Fe2+ and the reducing
agent vitamin C, without which the
hydroxylating enzymes, prolyl
hydroxylase and
lysyl hydroxylase, are unable to function
• 3. Glycosylation: Some hydroxylysine residues are modified
by glycosylation with glucose or glucosyl-galactose
• 4. Assembly and secretion:
- The formation of procollagen begins with formation of
interchain disulfide bonds between the C-terminal extensions
of the pro-α chains.
- This brings the three α chains into an alignment favorable
for helix formation.
- The procollagen molecules move through the Golgi
apparatus, where they are packaged in secretory vesicles.
- The vesicles fuse with the cell membrane, causing the release
of procollagen molecules into the extracellular space.
5. Extracellular cleavage of procollagen molecules:
- After their release, the procollagen molecules are
cleaved by N- and C-procollagen peptidases, which
remove the terminal propeptides, releasing triple-helical
tropocollagen molecules.
6. Formation of collagen fibrils:
- Individual tropocollagen molecules spontaneously
associate to form collagen fibrils.
- They form an ordered, overlapping, parallel array, with
adjacent collagen molecules arranged in a staggered
pattern, each overlapping its neighbor by a length
approximately three-quarters of a molecule
7. Cross-link formation:
- The fibrillar array of collagen molecules
serves as a substrate for lysyl oxidase.
- This Cu2+ containing extracellular enzyme oxidatively
deaminates some of the lysyl and hydroxylysyl
residues in collagen.
- The reactive aldehydes that result (allysine and
hydroxyallysine) can condense with lysyl or
hydroxylysyl residues in neighboring collagen
molecules to form covalent cross-links and, thus,
mature collagen fibers
Collagen diseases: Collagenopathies
Defects in any one of the many steps in collagen
fiber synthesis can result in a genetic disease
involving an inability of collagen to form fibers
properly and, thus, provide tissues with the needed
tensile strength normally provided by collagen.
- More than 1,000 mutations have been identified
in 22 genes coding for 12 of the collagen types.
1. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS):
- Heterogeneous group of generalized connective
tissue disorders, result from inheritable defects in
the metabolism of fibrillar collagen molecules.
- EDS can result from a deficiency of collagen-
processing enzymes (for example, lysyl hydroxylase
or procollagen peptidase), or from mutations in the
amino acid sequences of collagen types I, III, or V.
- The most clinically important mutations found in
the gene for type III collagen.
- Collagen containing mutant chains is not secreted,
and is either degraded or accumulated to high levels
in intracellular compartments. Because collagen type
III is an important component of the arteries,
potentially lethal vascular problems occur.
2. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI):
- Known as brittle bone syndrome, also a
heterogeneous group of inherited disorders
distinguished by bones that easily bend and fracture.
- Retarded wound healing and a rotated and twisted
spine leading to a “humped-back” (kyphotic)
appearance are common features of the disease.
- Type I OI called osteogenesis imperfecta tarda,
consequence of decreased production of α1 and α2
chains.
- Presents in early infancy with fractures secondary to
minor trauma, and may be suspected if prenatal
ultrasound detects bowing or fractures of long bones.
- Type II OI, called osteogenesis imperfecta congenita,
most severe. Patients die of pulmonary hypoplasia in
utero or during the neonatal period
- Most patients with severe OI have
mutations in the gene for either the
pro-α1 or pro-α2 chains of type I
collagen.
- The most common mutations cause
the replacement of glycine residues
(in –Gly–X–Y–) by amino acids with
bulky side chains. T
- The resultant structurally abnormal
pro-α chains prevent the formation
of the required triple-helical
conformation.

Lec.5 fibrous proteins. copy

  • 1.
  • 3. - Collagen and elastin, well-characterized fibrous proteins of the extracellular matrix that serve structural functions in connective tissues of the body and Keratine in ectodermal tissues skin,nails,hair,horn,hoof of animals. - Collagen and elastin, found as components of skin, connective tissue, blood vessel walls, and sclera and cornea of the eye. - Fibrous protein exhibits special mechanical properties, resulting from its unique structure, which are obtained by combining specific amino acids into regular, secondary structural elements. - This is in contrast to globular proteins, whose shapes are the result of complex interactions between secondary, tertiary, and, sometimes, quaternary structural elements.
  • 4. COLLAGEN -Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. -A typical collagen molecule --- long, rigid structure in which three polypeptides (referred to as “α chains”) are wound around one another in a rope-like triple helix
  • 5. Although these molecules are found throughout the body, their types and organization are dictated by the structural role collagen plays in a particular organ. - Gel like structure: Vitreous humor - Tight parallel structure: Tendon - Stacked transparent structure: Cornea - Arranged at an angle: Bone
  • 6. Types of collagen • The collagen superfamily of proteins includes more than 25 collagen types, as well as additional proteins that have collagen-like domains. • The three polypeptide α chains are held together by hydrogen bonds between the chains. • Variations in the amino acid sequence of the α chains result in structural components that are about the same size (approximately 1,000 amino acids long), but with slightly different properties. • These α chains are combined to form the various types of collagen found in the tissues. • most common collagen, type I, contains two chains called α1 and one chain called α2 (α12α2), whereas type II collagen contains three α1 chains (α13).
  • 7. The collagens can be organized into three groups, based on their location and functions in the body • Most abundant type of Collagen
  • 8. 1. Fibril-forming collagens: Types I, II, and III are the fibrillar collagens, and have the rope-like structure for a typical collagen molecule. In the electron microscope, these linear polymers of fibrils have characteristic banding patterns, reflecting the regular staggered packing of the individual collagen molecules in the fibril .
  • 9. - Type I collagen fibers are found in supporting elements of high tensile strength (for example, tendon and cornea), whereas fibers formed from type II collagen molecules are restricted to cartilaginous structures. - The fibers derived from type III collagen are prevalent in more distensible tissues, such as blood vessels
  • 10. 2. Network-forming collagens: Types IV and VII form a three-dimensional mesh, rather than distinct fibrils. For example, type IV molecules assemble into a sheet or meshwork that constitutes a major part of basement membranes. Electron micrograph of a polygonal network formed by association of collagen type IV monomers.
  • 11. 3. Fibril-associated collagens: Types IX and XII bind to the surface of collagen fibrils, linking these fibrils to one another and to other components in the extracellular matrix
  • 12. Structure of collagen 1. Amino acid sequence: - Collagen is rich in proline and glycine, both of which are important in the formation of the triple-stranded helix. - Proline facilitates the formation of the helical conformation of each α chain because its ring structure causes “kinks” in the peptidechain. (The presence of proline dictates that the helical conformation of the α chain cannot be an α helix.) - Glycine, the smallest amino acid, is found in every third position of the polypeptide chain. - Glycine fits into the restricted spaces where the three chains of the helix come together. - The glycine residues are part of a repeating sequence, –Gly–X–Y–, where X is frequently proline and Y is often hydroxyproline (but can be hydroxylysine. - Thus, most of the α chain can be regarded as a polytripeptide whose sequence can be represented as (–Gly–Pro–Hyp–)333.
  • 13. 2. Triple-helical structure: Unlike most globular proteins that are folded into compact structures, collagen, a fibrous protein, has an elongated, triple-helical structure that places many of its amino acid side chains on the surface of the triple- helical molecule. Note: This allows bond formation between the exposed R-groups of neighboring collagen monomers, resulting in their aggregation into long fibers.
  • 14. 3. Hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine: - Collagen contains hydroxyproline (hyp) and hydroxylysine (hyl), which are not present in most other proteins. - These residues result from the hydroxylation of some of the proline and lysine residues after their incorporation into polypeptide chains. - The hydroxylation is, thus, an example of posttranslational modification. - Hydroxyproline is important in stabilizing the triple-helical structure of collagen because it maximizes interchain hydrogen bond formation.
  • 15. ELASTIN In contrast to collagen, which forms fibers that are tough and have high tensile strength, elastin is a connective tissue protein with rubber-like properties. - Elastic fibers composed of elastin and glycoprotein microfibrils are found in the lungs, the walls of large arteries, and elastic ligaments. - They can be stretched to several times their normal length, but recoil to their original shape when the stretching force is relaxed.
  • 16. Structure of elastin - Elastin, insoluble protein polymer synthesized from a precursor, tropoelastin, a linear polypeptide composed of about 700 amino acids that are primarily small and nonpolar (for example, glycine, alanine, and valine). - Elastin also rich in proline and lysine, but contains only a little hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine. - Tropoelastin secreted by the cell into the extracellular space. - There it interacts with specific glycoprotein microfibrils, such as fibrillin, which function as a scaffold onto which tropoelastin is deposited. - Some of the lysyl side chains of the tropoelastin polypeptides are oxidatively deaminated by lysyl oxidase, forming allysine residues. - Three of the allysyl side chains plus one unaltered lysyl side chain from the same or neighboring polypeptides form a desmosine cross-link
  • 17. This produces elastin—an extensively interconnected, rubbery network that can stretch and bend in any direction when stressed, giving connective tissue elasticity
  • 18. Biosynthesis of collagen - The polypeptide precursors of the collagen molecule are formed in fibroblasts (or in the related osteoblasts of bone and chondroblasts of cartilage), and are secreted into the extracellular matrix. - After enzymic modification, the mature collagen monomers aggregate and become cross-linked to form collagen fibers.
  • 19. 1. Formation of pro-α chains: Collagen is one of many proteins that normally function outside of cells. Like most proteins produced for export, the newly synthesized polypeptide precursors of α chains (prepro-α chains) contain a special amino acid sequence at their N-terminal ends. (signal sequence ) The signal sequence is rapidly cleaved in the RER to yield a precursor of collagen called a pro-α chain.
  • 20. 2. Hydroxylation: - The pro-α chains are processed by a number of enzymic steps within the lumen of the RER while the polypeptides are still being synthesized . - Proline and lysine residues found in the Y-position of the –Gly–X–Y– sequence can be hydroxylated to form hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine residues. - These hydroxylation reactions require molecular oxygen, Fe2+ and the reducing agent vitamin C, without which the hydroxylating enzymes, prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, are unable to function
  • 21. • 3. Glycosylation: Some hydroxylysine residues are modified by glycosylation with glucose or glucosyl-galactose • 4. Assembly and secretion: - The formation of procollagen begins with formation of interchain disulfide bonds between the C-terminal extensions of the pro-α chains. - This brings the three α chains into an alignment favorable for helix formation. - The procollagen molecules move through the Golgi apparatus, where they are packaged in secretory vesicles. - The vesicles fuse with the cell membrane, causing the release of procollagen molecules into the extracellular space.
  • 22. 5. Extracellular cleavage of procollagen molecules: - After their release, the procollagen molecules are cleaved by N- and C-procollagen peptidases, which remove the terminal propeptides, releasing triple-helical tropocollagen molecules. 6. Formation of collagen fibrils: - Individual tropocollagen molecules spontaneously associate to form collagen fibrils. - They form an ordered, overlapping, parallel array, with adjacent collagen molecules arranged in a staggered pattern, each overlapping its neighbor by a length approximately three-quarters of a molecule
  • 23. 7. Cross-link formation: - The fibrillar array of collagen molecules serves as a substrate for lysyl oxidase. - This Cu2+ containing extracellular enzyme oxidatively deaminates some of the lysyl and hydroxylysyl residues in collagen. - The reactive aldehydes that result (allysine and hydroxyallysine) can condense with lysyl or hydroxylysyl residues in neighboring collagen molecules to form covalent cross-links and, thus, mature collagen fibers
  • 24.

  • 27. Collagen diseases: Collagenopathies Defects in any one of the many steps in collagen fiber synthesis can result in a genetic disease involving an inability of collagen to form fibers properly and, thus, provide tissues with the needed tensile strength normally provided by collagen. - More than 1,000 mutations have been identified in 22 genes coding for 12 of the collagen types.
  • 28. 1. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS): - Heterogeneous group of generalized connective tissue disorders, result from inheritable defects in the metabolism of fibrillar collagen molecules. - EDS can result from a deficiency of collagen- processing enzymes (for example, lysyl hydroxylase or procollagen peptidase), or from mutations in the amino acid sequences of collagen types I, III, or V. - The most clinically important mutations found in the gene for type III collagen. - Collagen containing mutant chains is not secreted, and is either degraded or accumulated to high levels in intracellular compartments. Because collagen type III is an important component of the arteries, potentially lethal vascular problems occur.
  • 29. 2. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI): - Known as brittle bone syndrome, also a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders distinguished by bones that easily bend and fracture. - Retarded wound healing and a rotated and twisted spine leading to a “humped-back” (kyphotic) appearance are common features of the disease. - Type I OI called osteogenesis imperfecta tarda, consequence of decreased production of α1 and α2 chains. - Presents in early infancy with fractures secondary to minor trauma, and may be suspected if prenatal ultrasound detects bowing or fractures of long bones.
  • 30. - Type II OI, called osteogenesis imperfecta congenita, most severe. Patients die of pulmonary hypoplasia in utero or during the neonatal period - Most patients with severe OI have mutations in the gene for either the pro-α1 or pro-α2 chains of type I collagen. - The most common mutations cause the replacement of glycine residues (in –Gly–X–Y–) by amino acids with bulky side chains. T - The resultant structurally abnormal pro-α chains prevent the formation of the required triple-helical conformation.
