Biosynthesis of Collagen Crosslinks: Increased Activity of Purified Lysyl Oxidase with Reconstituted Collagen Fibrils

Open access
Siegel, Robert C.·1974·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Lysyl oxidase catalyzes the formation of crosslinking aldehydes in collagen and elastin. This report demonstrates that the enzyme has high activity with collagen precipitated as native fibrils, an apparent K m of 0.95 μM, and low activity toward either soluble forms such as denatured collagen, isolated α chain, or isolated α1-CBl peptide, or precipitated collagen fibrils after pepsin treatment. These results indicate that the biosynthesis of the aldehyde crosslink intermediate probably occurs primarily after the onset of fibril formation in vivo . Biosynthesis of aldehydes and subsequent crosslinks may be related to the rate of fibril formation as well as to the concentration of lysyl oxidase in vivo .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
