Induction of prolyl hydroxylase activity in a nonadherent population of human leukocytes. 1987

W J Lindblad, and J A French, and K S Redford, and S K Buenaventura, and I K Cohen

A nonadherent population of human monocytes has been shown to express the collagen hydroxylating enzyme prolyl hydroxylase in vitro. Enzyme levels present in freshly isolated nonadherent cells were induced 300% during the first 72 hours of culturing, which could be suppressed by cycloheximide. Maximum induction required both a feeder layer of adherent leukocytes, and 10-15% autologous plasma. Biosynthesis of Clq, a protein which also is hydroxylated by prolyl hydroxylase, by the nonadherent cells was significantly less than the adherent monocytes. Therefore, this collagen biosynthetic marker enzyme was not associated with Clq synthesis, which suggests that the enzyme is present for collagen biosynthesis.

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.

D003166 Complement Activating Enzymes Enzymes that activate one or more COMPLEMENT PROTEINS in the complement system leading to the formation of the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX, an important response in host defense. They are enzymes in the various COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION pathways. Activating Enzymes, Complement,Enzymes, Complement Activating
D003172 Complement C1 The first complement component to act in the activation of CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY. It is a calcium-dependent trimolecular complex made up of three subcomponents: COMPLEMENT C1Q; COMPLEMENT C1R; and COMPLEMENT C1S at 1:2:2 ratios. When the intact C1 binds to at least two antibodies (involving C1q), C1r and C1s are sequentially activated, leading to subsequent steps in the cascade of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION.

D015922 Complement C1q A subcomponent of complement C1, composed of six copies of three polypeptide chains (A, B, and C), each encoded by a separate gene (C1QA; C1QB; C1QC). This complex is arranged in nine subunits (six disulfide-linked dimers of A and B, and three disulfide-linked homodimers of C). C1q has binding sites for antibodies (the heavy chain of IMMUNOGLOBULIN G or IMMUNOGLOBULIN M). The interaction of C1q and immunoglobulin activates the two proenzymes COMPLEMENT C1R and COMPLEMENT C1S, thus initiating the cascade of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION via the CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY.
