Urinary excretion of free hydroxylysine, peptide-bound hydroxylysine and hydroxylysyl glycosides in physiological conditions.

The amount of urinary hydroxylysine is an index of collagen metabolism. Of the total hydroxylysine measured in normal urine 80 percent is associated with sugars in two glycosidic compounds, glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine and galactosyl-hydroxylysine, ten percent is free and unglycosylated and the remainder is bound to urinary peptides. The excretion of hydroxylysyl glycosides follow the same physiological variations as urinary hydroxyproline, but it is not influenced by a collagen-free diet. The urinary excretion of hydroxylysyl glycosides, free hydroxylysine and peptide-bound hydroxylysine increases from 6 months of age to puberty. When corrected for urinary creatinine excretion, the largest amounts are found before one year of age. The glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine/galactosyl-hydroxylysine ratio is lower in the urine of children. After correction of the values to either the body surface area or to the creatinine excretion, no significant differences can be found between the sexes. The different forms of hydroxylysine are discussed.

A method for measuring hydroxylysine and glycosylated hydroxylysines in urine and protein hydrolysates.

A method for measuring hydroxylysine and glycosylated hydroxylysines is described, based on the separation of the 3 compounds by ion-exchange chromatography, followed by spectrophotometric analysis of the hydroxylysine present as glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine, galactosylhydroxylysine and free hydroxylysine. The method does not require prior preparation of the urine sample nor the use of high-resolution ion-exchange systems. The method is applicable to the determination of the glycosylated hydroxylysine and hydroxylysine content of urine or alkaline hydrolysates of proteins.

Urinary excretion of hydroxyproline, hydroxylysine and hydroxylysine glycosides by patients with Paget's disease of bone and carcinoma with metastases in bone.

Patient's with carcinoma metastases in bone and Pagent's disease of bone have different patterns of collagen metabolite excretion. Both forms of bone disease resulted in an increased excretion of total hydroxyproline and the ratio of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylsine to galactosylhydroxylysine was below normal. The excretion of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine was increased in all patients with carcinoma metastases in bone while the excretion of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine in patients with Paget's disease. The ratio of total hydroxylysine (free hydroxylysine + glycosylated hydroxylysines) to total hydroxyproline was normal in patients with carcinoma metastases in bone and below normal in patients with Paget's disease bosne. The pattern of urinary collagen metabolite excretion is a more specific indicator of the presence of bone disease than is the measurement of the excretion rate of any individual collagen metabolite. Bone diseases of different etiologies may result in different patterns of urinary collagen metabolite excretion.

Estimation of hydroxylysine in urine and serum of patients with chronic uremia.

Free hydroxylysine and hydroxylysing glycosides were separated from urine and serum extracts on cation exchange resin and assayed spectrophotometrically. The method in conjunction with gel filtration in Bio-Gel P2 allowed to separate from urine also polypeptide hydroxylysine and hydroxylysine bound in small molecules of neutral or acidic character. Glycosylgalactosylhydroxylysineand galactosylhydroxylysine were separated by partition and/or ion exchange chromatography. Patients with chronic renal insufficiency had elevated serum levels and urinary excretion of hydroxylysine glycosides with increased excretion of hydroxylysine bound in polypeptides and in small molecules of neutral or acidic character. The excretion of free hydroxylysine was often within normal limits. When compared to values found in normal growing subjects and in adult patients with increased bone turnover and normal renin function the urinary excretion of hydroxylysine glycosides in chronic uremia was more markedly increased than excretion of hydroxyproline polypeptides and total hydroxyproline.

Urinary hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine excretions in relation to hepatic hydroxyproline content in chronic liver disease.

In patients with or without various chronic liver diseases, the total urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine and the hepatic content of hydroxyproline were examined. In 7 patients without liver disease, the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine were 10.3 +/- 1.5 and 1.31 +/- 0.21 mmol/mol creatinine, respectively, and the hepatic content of hydroxyproline was 4.9 +/- 0.6 mumol/g of wet liver. In 33 patients with liver disease, the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine and the hepatic content of hydroxyproline were increased in proportion to the severity of liver disease. The hepatic content of hydroxyproline showed a significant correlation with the urinary excretion of hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine (r = +0.406 and r = +0.531, respectively). These results suggest that the study of urinary hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine excretion may yield useful information on the metabolism of hepatic collagen in chronic liver disease. Moreover, urinary hydroxylysine excretion seemed to be a better index of hepatic collagen metabolism than urinary hydroxyproline excretion; perhaps urinary hydroxylysine excretion is not much affected by dietary collagen intake.

Hydroxylysine-linked glycosides of human complement subcomponent C1q and various collagens.

1. Human C1q, a subcomponent of the first component of complement, contains 67 disaccharides (glucosylgalactose) and 2.4 monosaccharides (galactose) linked to hydroxylysine in one molecule. It was found that 82.6% of the hydroxylsine residues were glycosylated. The suggestion of the possible existence of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine reported previously [Yonemasu, Stroud, Niedermeir & Butler (1971) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 43, 1388--1394] was confirmed. 2. The hydroxylysine-glycosides are not detected in the C-terminal, non-collagen-like, globular regions, but only in the collagen-like regions in the subcomponent C1q molecule. 3. Alpha 1(I) and alpha 2 in pig skin, alpha 1(II) in bovine cartilage and alpha 1(III) in bovine skin collagens contain 2.0, 2.2, 13.2 and 2.0 residues of hydroxylysine-glycosides per molecule, respectively. The percentage of hydroxylysine residues glycosylated in each of these chains is relatively low (on average 38%). 4. Neither the high percentage of hydroxylysine residues glycosylated nor the high values for the ratios of disaccharides to monosaccharides in the subcomponent C1q resembles that in alpha 1(I), alpha 2, alpha 1(II) and alpha 1(III). 5. Similarities between the extent of glycosylation of hydroxylysine residues in collagen-like regions in the subcomponent C1q molecule and that of the collagenous constituents of human glomerular basement membranes, aortic intima, skin A- and B-chains and of bovine anterior lens capsule are discussed.

Peptide-bound hydroxylysine and large polypeptides related to collagen synthesis.

About 10% of the urinary hydroxylysine is linked to peptides. There is no significant difference between the excretion of peptide-bound hydroxylysine and hydroxylysine measured in the non-dialysable fraction of the urine. Non-dialysable hydroxylysine is highly glycosylated and contains mainly glucosyl-galactosyl-hydroxylysine. It is concluded that the urinary peptide-bound hydroxylysine is present in the non-dialysable collagen polypeptides. Their unusual carbohydrate composition is discussed.

Collagen synthesis by cultured skin fibroblasts from siblings with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen.

It has been previously shown that dermis from subjects with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen contains approximately 5% of normal levels of hydroxylysine and sonicates of skin fibroblasts contain less than 15% of normal levels of collagen lysyl hydroxylase activity. However, cultures of dermal fibroblasts from two siblings with hydroxylysine-deficient collagen (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type VI) compared to fibroblasts from normal subjects synthesize collagen containing approximately 50% of normal amounts of hydroxylysine. The lysyl hydroxylase deficient cultures synthesize both Type I and Type III collagen in the same proportion as control cultures. Both alpha 1(I) and alpha 2 chains are similarly reduced in hydroxylysine content. Collagen prolyl hydroxylation by normal collagen lysyl hydroxylation is the same with or without ascorbate supplementation. In mutant cells the rate of prolyl hydroxylation measured after release of inhibition by alpha, alpha'-dipyridyl is the same as in control cells. The rate of lysyl hydroxylation is reduced in mutant cells but only to approximately 50% of normal.

Subfractionation of the dansylated derivatives of glucosyl galactosyl hydroxylysine by liquid chromatography and its application to a specific alpha-1,2-glucosidase assay.

The dansyl derivative of glucosyl galactosyl hydroxylysine (GGH) was separated into two components, as GP-I (monodansyl GGH) and GP-II (didansyl GGH) by paper chromatography. GP-I was further fractionated into four peaks (a, b, c and d) by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. These peaks corresponded to the dansyl derivatives at the alpha-amino (a and b) and epsilon-amino (c and d) groups of their hydroxylysine residues. There is the possibility that the fractions for b and d are diastereoisomers of a and c, respectively, since the monodansyl derivative from human urine consists of a and c. GP-II was fractionated into two peaks, e and f, which may possibly be diastereoisomers of each other. Treatment of the a, b, c and d fractions with crude chicken liver enzyme resulted in the preferential cleavage of a and b and the production of monodansyl galactosyl hydroxylysine. Components c and d were also cleaved slowly, resulting in the production of monodansyl hydroxylysine by the successive action of beta-galactosidase on dansyl galactosyl hydroxylysine. The detected alpha-glucosidase activity was strongly inhibited by free mannosamine. The method developed using the monodansyl GGH fraction a (or b) and high-performance liquid chromatography facilitated the detection of alpha-1,2-glucosidase, which acts specifically toward GGH even in a crude enzyme preparation.

Determination of hydroxylysine in urine.

A new method for colorimetric determination of urinary hydroxylysine is described. Approximately one-hundredth of human urine collected for 24 hr was diluted to 25 ml and titrated to pH 2.0 with 2 hcl, and then subjected to column chromatography on Dowex 50 X 4 (H+ form). Amino acids were eluted from the column with 1.5 N NH4OH. Hydroxylysine in the elute with 1.5 N NH4OH was separated from the other amino acids, especially from serine and threonine, by preparative paper chromatography. The paper corresponding to hydroxylysine was cut and eluted with water. An aliquot of the eluate with water was oxidized by sodium metaperiodate, and formaldehyde liberated from hydroxylysine was assayed by chromotropic acid reagents, after removing periodate and iodate with Dowex 1 X 8 (formate form). Excretion rate of hydroxylysine in urine of adults was shown to be approximately 110 mumoles per day.

Further studies on the effect of the collagen triple-helix formation on the hydroxylation of lysine and the glycosylations of hydroxylysine in chick-embryo tendon and cartilage cells.

The hydroxylation of lysine and glycosylations of hydroxylysine were studied in isolated chick-embryo tendon and cartilage cells under conditions in which collagen triple-helix formation was either inhibited or accelerated. The former situation was obtained by incubating the tendon cells with 0.6mm-dithiothreitol, thus decreasing their proline hydroxylase activity by about 99%. After labelling with [(14)C]proline, the formation of hydroxy[(14)C]proline was found to have declined by about 95%. Since the hydroxylation of a relatively large number of proline residues is required for triple-helix formation at 37 degrees C, the pro-alpha-chains synthesized under these conditions apparently cannot form triple-helical molecules. Labelling experiments with [(14)C]lysine indicated that the degree of hydroxylation of the lysine residues in the collagen synthesized was slightly increased and the degree of the glycosylations of the hydroxylysine residues more than doubled, the largest increase being in the content of glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine. Recovery of chick-embryo cartilage cells from temporary anoxia was used to obtain accelerated triple-helix formation. A marked decrease was found in the extent of hydroxylation of the lysine residues in the collagen synthesized under these conditions, and an even larger decrease occurred in the glycosylations of the hydroxylysine residues. The results support the previous suggestion that the triple-helix formation of the pro-alpha-chains prevents further hydroxylation of lysine residues and glycosylations of hydroxylysine residues during collagen biosynthesis.

Comparative study of carbohydrate-protein complexes. II. Determination of hydroxylysine and its glycosides in human skin and scar collagens by an improved method.

A modification of the existing methods for measuring hydroxylysine, galactosylhydroxylysine, and glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine is described. The method is based on analysis with an automated amino acid analyzer using a conventional separation system for basic amino acids. The prior removal of acidic and neutral amino acids was necessary. This was achieved by passing an alkaline hydrolysate of collagen through a column of Amberlite CG-120, Type II (H+) and washing the column with 8% aqueous pyridine. A basic fraction containing the hydroxylysine compounds was then recovered from the column by elution with 3 M NH4OH. Model experiments showed that hydroxylysine and its glycosides could be analyzed with an hour and that recoveries exceeded 90%. This method was applied to human tissues to investigate whether the dermal scar is different in collagen composition from normal skin. With the limited number of samples analyzed, the data suggested that long-standing scar tissues reverted to a composition similar to that of normal skin. The composition of hydroxylysine-linked carbohydrate units is also discussed on the basis of the age-related change.

Pinpointing the sites of hydroxylysine glycosides in peptide alpha 1-CB7 of bovine corneal collagen, and their possible role in determining fibril diameter and thus transparency.

Two cyanogen bromide fragments (alpha 1-CB7 and alpha 1-CB8) of bovine corneal stromal collagen have been isolated and characterized. These added to those characterized in our previous work account for 95% of the amino acid sequence of the alpha 1(1)-chain. The hydroxylysine glycoside content of each fragment was determined and in this way the general distribution of glycoside over the entire molecule was deduced accounting for all the galactosylhydroxylysine and most of the glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine of this heavily glycosylated type I collagen. The characterization of fragments alpha 1-CB7 and alpha 1-CB8 has enabled us to resolve the controversy over the relative mobilities of these fragments on SDS gels. Fragment alpha 1-CB7 of bovine corneal collagen was digested by trypsin and by staphylococcal proteinase V8. The resultant peptides were isolated by gel and ion-exchange chromatography and identified in relation to the known amino acid sequence of type I collagen. The hydroxylysine glycosides were determined in the relevant peptides providing a complete account of their distribution along this part of the collagen molecule. Most of the glycoside was found in the gap region of collagen especially near the edges of the axial holes where it could act as a peg to facilitate fibre formation. In addition, some glycoside was found in the overlap region where, being unable to fit into axial holes, it might impede the growth of the fibre and, with other glycoside of the overlap region, might be responsible for the narrow fibres of corneal collagen that are essential for corneal transparency. This glycoside, with that previously found in the peptide alpha 1-CB3 is the only hydroxylysine glycoside identified in the overlap region of a type I collagen.

Age-dependent accumulation of N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine and N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)hydroxylysine in human skin collagen.

N epsilon-(Carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) is formed on oxidative cleavage of carbohydrate adducts to lysine residues in glycated proteins in vitro [Ahmed et al. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 8816-8821; Dunn et al. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 10964-10970]. We have shown that, in human lens proteins in vivo, the concentration of fructose-lysine (FL), the Amadori adduct of glucose to lysine, is constant with age, while the concentration of the oxidation product, CML, increases significantly with age [Dunn et al. (1989) Biochemistry 28, 9464-9468]. In this work we extend our studies to the analysis of human skin collagen. The extent of glycation of insoluble skin collagen was greater than that of lens proteins (4-6 mmol of FL/mol of lysine in collagen versus 1-2 mmol of FL/mol of lysine in lens proteins), consistent with the lower concentration of glucose in lens, compared to plasma. In contrast to lens, there was a slight but significant age-dependent increase in glycation of skin collagen, 33% between ages 20 and 80. As in lens protein, CML, present at only trace levels in neonatal collagen, increased significantly with age, although the amount of CML in collagen at 80 years of age, approximately 1.5 mmol of CML/mol of lysine, was less than that found in lens protein, approximately 7 mmol of CML/mol of lysine. The concentration of N epsilon-(carboxymethyl)hydroxylysine (CMhL), the product of oxidation of glycated hydroxylysine, also increased with age in collagen, in parallel with the increase in CML, from trace levels at infancy to approximately 5 mmol of CMhL/mol of hydroxylysine at age 80.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Processing of an anglerfish somatostatin precursor to a hydroxylysine-containing somatostatin 28.

A novel 28-residue somatostatin (SS) has been isolated from anglerfish pancreatic islets and characterized by complete Edman degradation, peptide mapping, and amino acid analysis. The primary structure of this anglerfish SS-28 (aSS-28) containing hydroxylysine (Hyl) was established to be H-Ser-Val-Asp-Ser-Thr-Asn-Asn-Leu-Pro-Pro-Arg-Glu-Arg-Lys-Ala-Gly-Cys- Lys-Asn-Phe-Tyr-Trp-Hyl-Gly-Phe-Thr-Ser-Cys-OH. This sequence (with the exception of hydroxylysine-23, which is replaced by lysine) is identical to the sequence of the COOH-terminal 28 residues of prepro-SS II predicted on the basis of cDNA analysis [Hobart, P., Crawford, R., Shen, L., Pictet, R. & Rutter, W. J. (1980) Nature (London) 288, 137-141]. This is the first instance in which hydroxylysine (to date characteristically observed in collagen or collagen-like structures) has been found in a potential regulatory peptide. Chromatographic characterization of peptides, radiolabeled in islet culture, revealed that aSS-28 contained 10-12% of the radioactivity incorporated into the 8000- to 1000-dalton SS-like polypeptides, whereas 88-90% of this radioactivity was detected in anglerfish SS-14. It appears probable that aSS-28 represents the predominant primary cleavage product derived from prepro-SS II by cleavage at the COOH-terminal side of a single arginine. Based on knowledge of the collagen biosynthesis, it is speculated that hydroxylation may take place as an early post-translational event.

Urinary excretion of hydroxylysine and its glycosides as an index of collagen degradation.

Urimary excretion of hydroxyprolin (Hyp) is one index of total collagen degradation, from all sources. Since some of the Hyp released from collagen may be further metabolized before it is excreted, other markers are necessary to measure collagen breakdown. Excretion of the glycosides of hydroxylysine (Hyl), glucosyl galactosyl hydroxylysine (Hy1[Gl)cGa1]), and galactosyl hydroxylysine (Hyl[Ga)]), more accurately reflects collagen metabolism since these products occur in specificratios in different tissue collagens and are themselves metabolized only to a minor degree. The ratios of total Hy1/Hyp and Hyl(GlcGal)/Hyl(Ga1) were measured in the urine of norma. subjects and of patients with Paget's disease of bone, hyperphosphatasia, and extensive thermal burns. In patients with extensive thermal burns the pattern of urinary Hy1 and its glycosides was consistent with degradation of collagen in dermis and fascia. When bone collagen degradation was dominant, the pattern of urinary metabolites reflected that source. Pagetic bone collagen has an amino acid composition similar to normal bone and Hy1(G1cGa1/Hyl(G1) of 0.396-0.743,vs. normal of 0.474+/-0.088. In untreated patients with severe Paget's disease of bone or hyperphosphatasia (urinary Hyp greater than 2.0 micronmol/mg creatinine) urinary Hyl/Hyp averaged 0.052+/-0.042 (0.042+/-0.009 in normal bone) and Hy1(G1cGa1)/Hy1(Ga1) 0.601+/-0.017 (0.47+/-0.009 in normal bone). When bone resorption was decreased sufficiently with calcitonin or disodium etidronate in these patients, both the urinary ratios of Hy1/Hyp and Hy1(G1cGa1)/Hyl(Gal) rose. In normal subjects treated with calcitonin and excreting relatively little Hyp, the ratio of Hy1/H)P approached 0.7 and Hy1(G1ycGa1)/Hy1(Ga1) approached 3.5. There increased ratios reveal the existence of a source of collagen breakdown other than skin or bone. The first subcompoent of complement, Clq, which has collagen-like sequences, relatively high amounts of Hy1, and most of the glycosylated Hy1 as Hy1(G1cGa1), could be the source of these metabolites.

Urinary excretion of hydroxylysine and its glycosides in normal persons of different ages--influence of maturation.

Basement membrane collagen is relatively rich in hydroxylysine and the glycosides of hydroxylysine, glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine. In this paper a modified procedure for analysis of these substances in urine is described, using a purification-step with the cation-exchange resin Amberlite CG-120 type II and a modified program for amino acid analysis. Values are obtained from 75 healthy persons of different ages ranging from prematurity to adulthood. The influence of maturation is studied. Prematures and young children have a high and rather variable excretion of all components, whereas adults have low and similar excretion rates. Neither the ratio glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine/galactosylhydroxylysine nor the percentage of glycosylated hydroxylysine can be shown to be age-dependent. These data are important for the study of collagen disorders, especially in childhood.
