Cartilage proteoglycans.

T E Hardingham, M Beardmore-Gray, D G Dunham

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Investigating the protein core of aggregating proteoglycans reveals a structure with globular domains, including the hyaluronate-binding region. Normal proteoglycan turnover involves cleavage near this binding region, releasing glycosaminoglycan domains.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Structural Biology
    • Cartilage Biology

    Background:

    • Proteoglycans are key components of cartilage extracellular matrix.
    • The protein core structure and turnover mechanisms are crucial for cartilage integrity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the structure of the aggregating proteoglycan protein core from pig laryngeal cartilage.
    • To understand the mechanisms of proteoglycan turnover in articular cartilage.

    Main Methods:

    • Mild trypsin digestion of proteoglycan aggregates.
    • Rotary-shadowing electron microscopy.
    • Interaction studies and immunochemical analysis.
    • Proteoglycan turnover studies in pig articular cartilage explants.

    Main Results:

    • Identified a protein-rich fragment containing the hyaluronate-binding region with 'double globe' structures.
    • Discovered a second, functionally unknown globular domain and suggested a third C-terminal globular domain.
    • Observed continuous release of proteoglycan fragments during normal cartilage culture, with increased digestion in the presence of interleukin 1.

    Conclusions:

    • The proteoglycan protein core possesses folded globular regions and extended glycosaminoglycan-bearing regions.
    • Normal proteoglycan turnover is a conservative process involving cleavage near the hyaluronate-binding region, facilitating matrix component release.
    • The N-terminal globular domains are likely sites of initial proteolytic cleavage during normal turnover.
