Why study tissue proteins?
To understand normal body functions . In development In inflammatory states Aging process.
To identify the cause of various genetic and metabolic disorders related to tissue proteins In the spread of cancer cells. Several diseases (eg: Osteogenesis imperfecta and a number of
types of the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) are due to genetic disturbances of the synthesis of collagen.
Components of proteoglycans are affected in the group of genetic disorders known as the mucopolysaccharidoses.
To use and apply them in the medical, industrial, commercial fields. In food products, cosmetic surgery. The gelatin used in food and industry is derived from the partial
hydrolysis of collagen.

The Extracellular Matrix The space outside the cells of a tissue is filled with a composite material
called extracellular matrix(ECM). This ECM is also known as the connective tissue. It is composed of -
a) Gel with interstitial fluid.
b) 3 major classes of biomolecules: Structural proteins: collagen, elastin and Keratin (epidermal tissues) Specialized proteins: e.g. fibrillin, fibronectin, and laminin. Proteoglycans(Mucoproteins) : Conjugated proteins consisting of
Protein + Carbohydrate(5%-95%) Carbohydrate part is in the form of Glycosaminoglycans [GAGs].
Thus, the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex structural entity surrounding and supporting cells that are found within mammalian tissues.

Most abundant insoluble fibrous protein in the connective tissue of mammals. Makes up about 25% to 35% of the whole-body protein content. Scleroprotein secreted from the cells called fibroblasts. In greek ‘kolla’ means ‘glue’.Collagen is also called as glue-producer. Distribution of collagen varies in different tissues.
Also found in mucous membranes, nerves, blood vessels, and organs.

PROTEINS OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Collagen
![Page 9: CONNECTIVE TISSUE](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102519/56815161550346895dbf886c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Functions Of Collagen
It imparts strength, support, shape and elasicity to the tissues. It accounts for 6% of the weight
of strong, tendinous muscles It provides flexibility, support, and
movement to cartilage. It encases and protects delicate
organs like kidneys and spleen. It fills the sclera of the eye in
crystalline form. Teeth (dentin) are made by adding
mineral crystals to collagen. Collagen contributes to proper
alignment of cells for cell proliferation and differentiation.
When exposed in damaged blood vessels, it initiates thrombus formation
![Page 10: CONNECTIVE TISSUE](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102519/56815161550346895dbf886c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types Of Collagen In humans, there are at least 19
distinct types of collagen made up of 30 distinct polypeptide chains (each encoded by a separate gene).
They are subdivided into a number of classes based primarily on the structures they form
However, 90% of the collagen in the body are of type I, II, III, and IV.
These types determine the physical properties of specific tissues and perform their specialized function.

•It serves to hold together the cells in the tissues.
•It is the major fibrous element of tissues like bone, teeth, tendons, cartilage and blood vessels. •When a solution of collagen is boiled, the viscosity of the solution decreases, which indicates that the native rod like structure is altered and a protein, with random coil structure results. It is then called gelatin.

Structure of Collagen
•There are 6 types of collagen, out of which type I is the most abundant form; it contains 2 chains of alpha-1 and one chain of alpha-2. •Each polypeptide chain of collagen has about 1000 amino acid residues.
•The amino acid composition of collagen is quite unique.

Biosynthesis of Collagen Collagen synthesis occurs in the fibroblasts, osteoblasts in bone,
chondroblasts in cartilage and odontoblasts in teeth. First synthesized in precursor form of preprocollagen polypeptide chain
in the ribosomes during translation The leader sequence of amino acids[signal peptide] in the
preprocollagen directs it to enter the lumen of E.R In the lumen of E.R, the Signal peptide is cleaved to form procollagen. The proline and lysine amino acids in the procollagen chain undergo
hydroxylation and glycosylation known as post translational modifications.
Disulfide bonds are formed between three procollagen chains which twist around each other to form a triple helix molecule.This step is called registration.
This Procollagen molecule is secreted into the extracellular matrix from the golgi compartment of the E.R.
Here, the procollagen aminoproteinase and carboxy proteinase enzymes remove extra terminal amino acids from the procollagen molecule to form collagen .
The collagen molecules assemble into fibrils and inturn fibers being stabilized by the covalent cross-links.

Ehler Danlos Syndrome Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders. CAUSE
abnormalities in the synthesis and metabolism of collagen Mutations in the collagen genes: COL1A1, COL1A2, COL3A1, COL5A1, COL5A2 a deficiency of enzyme lysyl hydroxylase. A deficiency of procollagenN-proteinase, causing formation of abnormal thin,
irregular collagen fibrils
EFFECT Mutations alter the structure, production, or
processing of collagen or proteins that interact with collagen
WeakenS connective tissue in the skin, bones, blood vessels, and organs causing-
Skin hyperextensibility Joint dislocations Tissue fragility Poor wound healing.

Alport Syndrome Alport syndrome is a genetic disorder
characterized by glomerulonephritis, endstage kidney disease, and hearing loss. It also affects the eyes. The presence of blood in the urine
[hematuria] is almost always found in this condition.
CAUSE Mutations in COL4A3,COL4A4,COL4A5
collagen biosynthesis genes. These prevent the production or
assembly of the type IV collagen network in the basement membranes.
kidneys are scarred and unable to filter waste products resulting in hematuria and renal disease.

Epidermolysis Bullosa• Epidermolysis bullosa refers to a group of
inherited disorders that involve the formation of blisters following trivial trauma.
• CAUSE mutations in COL7A1, affecting the
structure of type VII collagen. Type VII collagen forms delicate fibrils that
anchor the basal lamina to collagen fibrils in the dermis.
These anchoring fibrils are reduced in this form of the disease, causing friction and blistering.
• EFFECT Blistering and painful sores like third degree
burns
Blister formation

Osteogenesis Imperfecta Osteogenesis imperfecta or Brittle Bone
Disease is a genetic bone disorder due to decrease dcollagen formation.
CAUSE Mutations in the COL1A1 andCOL1A2
genes coding for procollagen chains. Replacement of glycine by another
bulkier amino acid resulting in decreased collagen or improper procollagen structure forming abnormal fibers.
Mutations also cause ‘procollagen suicide ‘
All these cause brittleness. EFFECT
Thin,t ransclucent, blue scleras. Affected infants may be born with
multiple fractures and not survive. weak muscles, brittle teeth, a curved
spine and hearing loss.

Chondrodysplasias Chondrodysplasias are a mixed
group of hereditary disorders affecting cartilage.
One example is Stickler syndrome, manifested by degeneration of joint cartilage and of the vitreous body of the eye.
CAUSE Mutations in the COL2A1
gene, leading to abnormal forms of type II collagen.
EFFECT shortlimbed dwarfism skeletal deformities.

Osteolathyrism Osteolathyrism is a collagen cross-linking
deficiency caused by dietary over-reliance on the seeds of Lathyrus sativus (kesari dal) in some parts of India.
CAUSE Osteolathyrogenic compounds like Beta-
aminopropionitrile(BAPN) and Beta-oxalyl aminoalanine [BOAA] found in Kesari dhal inhibit enzyme lysyl oxidase required for the formation of cross links in the triple helices
EFFECT weakness and fragility of skin, bones,
and blood vessels Paralysis of the lower extremities
associated with neurolathyrism

Scurvy Scurvy is a disease due to deficiency of
vitamin C It is not a genetic disease. It is related to improper collagen
formation CAUSE
Vitamin C [ascorbic acid ]is required as a cofactor for hydroxylase enzymes during the hydroxylation of proline and lysine in the synthesis of collagen.
Deficiency causes impaired collagen synthesis due to deficiency of hydroxylases.
EFFECT Bleeding of gums Poor wound healing Subcutaneous hemorrhages
