A Novel Proteolytic Processing of Prolysyl Oxidase

Abstract: Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is an amine oxidase that is critical for the stability of connective tissues. The secreted proLOX is enzymatically quiescent and is activated through proteolytic cleavage between residue Gly162 and Asp163 (residue numbers according to the mouse LOX) by bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-1 gene products. Here we report a novel processing of proLOX identified in vitro and in vivo. Two forms of mature LOX were identified and characterized by their immunoreactivity to specific antibodies, amine o… Show more

“…The human LOX precursor is synthesized as a 48-kDa pro-protein, and following extensive intracellular and extracellular processing, procollagen C-protease, which is also known as bone morphogenic protein 1 (BMP1), proteolytically cleaves the LOX precursor into an enzymatically active 32-kDa protein in the extracellular matrix (25)(26)(27). As previously demonstrated, BMP1 is an astacin metalloprotease that plays an important role in extracellular matrix remodeling and osteogenesis (28,29).…”

“…Tyrosine O-sulfation is one of the PTMs known to add extra negative charges and has been increasingly recognized as an important regulator of protein-protein interactions in the extracellular space (18,19). In fact, tyrosine sulfation of LOX in this particular location has been previously suggested but, to our knowledge, not thoroughly investigated (20). Analysis of LOX sequence using Sulfinator, a software used to predict tyrosine sulfation sites, revealed candidate tyrosines for this modification in a cluster within this region ( Fig.…”

“…ProLOX is processed extracellularly by BMP1/Tolloid-like proteinases, the same proteinases that cleave the C-propeptide of type I procollagen, to produce an active mature ~30 kDa LOX. Recently, an additional processing of proLOX has been reported, resulting in a truncated form of active LOX, although its biological function is not clear at present [68]. The N-terminal propeptide of LOX has been implicated in regulating the localization of the enzyme, suppressing tumours and inhibiting cell proliferation [6971].…”
