Collagen synthesis in normal BHK 21/cl 13 and chemically transformed temperature sensitive BHK 21/cl 13 cells (Me2N4) was assessed by examination of hydroxyproline formation and collagenase-susceptible protein. The Me2N4 cells lost their ability to synthesize collagen at both permissive and nonpermissive temperatures for transformation. These conclusions were confirmed by polyacrylamide-gel eletrophoresis and CM-cellulose chromatography. Prolyl hydroxylase activity was present in both normal and transformed cells even when no collagen could be demonstrated. The production of noncollagen protein, although decreased in the transformed cell, did not change as drastically as the collagen synthesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011392 Proline A non-essential amino acid that is synthesized from GLUTAMIC ACID. It is an essential component of COLLAGEN and is important for proper functioning of joints and tendons. L-Proline,L Proline
D011393 Procollagen-Proline Dioxygenase A mixed-function oxygenase that catalyzes the hydroxylation of a prolyl-glycyl containing peptide, usually in PROTOCOLLAGEN, to a hydroxyprolylglycyl-containing-peptide. The enzyme utilizes molecular OXYGEN with a concomitant oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate to SUCCINATE. The enzyme occurs as a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits. The beta subunit of procollagen-proline dioxygenase is identical to the enzyme PROTEIN DISULFIDE-ISOMERASES. Protocollagen Prolyl Hydroxylase,Procollagen Prolyl 4-Hydroxylase,4-Hydroxylase, Procollagen Prolyl,Dioxygenase, Procollagen-Proline,Hydroxylase, Protocollagen Prolyl,Procollagen Proline Dioxygenase,Procollagen Prolyl 4 Hydroxylase,Prolyl 4-Hydroxylase, Procollagen,Prolyl Hydroxylase, Protocollagen

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
