PROSITE documentation PDOC01028

Lysyl hydroxylase signature

Description:

Lysyl hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.4) [1] catalyzes the hydroxylation of lysine residues in X-Lys-Gly sequences in collagens. The resulting hydroxylysines serve as sites of attachment for carbohydrate units and are essential for the stability of the intermolecular collagen crosslinks.

At least three isoforms of the enzyme are known in vertebrates.

The enzyme requires iron, 2-oxoglutarate, oxygen and ascorbate for its activity. Three residues, two histidine and an aspartate, are inolved in the binding of the iron ion [2]. As a signature pattern we selected a conserved region that contains two of these iron-binding ligands.
