Abstract

type:text

Collagen-derived dipeptide prolyl hydroxyproline (Pro-Hyp) is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of various types of cultured cells. To elucidate the mechanism underlying Pro-Hyp actions during osteoblast differentiation, we hypothesized that proteins binding to Pro-Hyp serve to mediate cellular signaling, affecting Runx2 expression. Recently, we performed the characterization of Foxg1, that it enhances Runx2 expression in the presence of Pro-Hyp. Our findings indicate that Pro-Hyp directly binds to the Foxg1 recombinant protein, which leads to the structural alteration of the Foxg1 protein. In addition, Foxg1 appears to interact with Runx2 in the absence of Pro-Hyp, with Pro-Hyp disrupting the interaction between Foxg1 and Runx2. Collectively, our results indicate that the Pro-Hyp bound Foxg1 alters the structured conformation of Foxg1, resulting in conformational changes that lead to dissociation from Runx2. These novel findings suggest that during osteoblast differentiation, Pro-Hyp mediates Runx2 activity though directly binding to Foxg1 and increases Runx2 expression.
