A collagen glucosyltransferase drives lung adenocarcinoma progression in mice

Abstract: Cancer cells are a major source of enzymes that modify collagen to create a stiff, fibrotic tumor stroma. High collagen lysyl hydroxylase 2 (LH2) expression promotes metastasis and is correlated with shorter survival in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and other tumor types. LH2 hydroxylates lysine (Lys) residues on fibrillar collagen’s amino- and carboxy-terminal telopeptides to create stable collagen cross-links. Here, we show that electrostatic interactions between the LH domain active site and collagen determine… Show more

“…The largest 14-residue deletion ( Fig. 4E brown shallow) happens in the accessory domain that is not required for LH3’s GGT activity but modulates LH2’s GGT activity (12,46). This largest deletion shortens 2 alpha helices and 1 beta strand, resulting in a major conformation change (curved arrow in Fig.…”
