Synthesis of prolyl 4-hydroxylase by cultured chicken corneal cells. 1989

T Aida, and G Asano

Prolyl hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.2) synthesis was examined in the cultured corneas of 17-day-old chick embryos which were cultured in F-12 medium supplemented with fetal calf serum. The amount of prolyl hydroxylase in cells was measured by immunoelectrophoresis using antibodies directed against this enzyme. The results indicated that the amounts of prolyl hydroxylase depended on cell density. The cells were harvested at the early-log phase and plated at high cell density to mimic the culture condition of cells at the stationary phase (crowding). The amount of 35S-prolyl hydroxylase indicated a two-fold increase in the rate of prolyl hydroxylase synthesis after crowding. By use of 32P-labeled cDNA for the beta-subunit of prolyl hydroxylase a proportionate increase of the mRNA was noted in accordance with the increase in the rate of prolyl hydroxylase synthesis, suggesting that this enzyme synthesis is regulated at the transcriptional level.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
