Abstract

Collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase (C-P4H), an α2β2 heterotetramer, is a crucial enzyme for collagen synthesis. The α-subunit consists of an N-terminal dimerization domain, a central peptide substrate-binding (PSB) domain, and a C-terminal catalytic (CAT) domain. The β-subunit [also known as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)] acts as a chaperone, stabilizing the functional conformation of C-P4H. C-P4H has been studied for decades, but its structure has remained elusive. Here, we present a three-dimensional small-angle X-ray scattering model of the entire human C-P4H-I heterotetramer. C-P4H is an elongated, bilobal, symmetric molecule with a length of 290 Å. The dimerization domains from the two α-subunits form a protein–protein dimer interface, assembled around the central antiparallel coiled-coil interface of their N-terminal α-helices. This region forms a thin waist in the bilobal tetramer. The two PSB/CAT units, each complexed with a PDI/β-subunit, form two bulky lobes pointing outward from this waist region, such that the PDI/β-subunits locate at the far ends of the βααβ complex. The PDI/β-subunit interacts extensively with the CAT domain. The asymmetric shape of two truncated C-P4H-I variants, also characterized in the present study, agrees with this assembly. Furthermore, data from these truncated variants show that dimerization between the α-subunits has an important role in achieving the correct PSB–CAT assembly competent for catalytic activity. Kinetic assays with various proline-rich peptide substrates and inhibitors suggest that, in the competent assembly, the PSB domain binds to the procollagen substrate downstream from the CAT domain.
