Structural, functional and evolutionary studies on prolyl-hydroxylases
- Abstract:
-
This thesis studies the prolyl-hydroxylase family of 2-oxoglutarate dependent oxygenases from structural, functional and evolutionary perspectives.
The role of prolyl-hydroxylation was first identified in collagen, wherein hydroxyproline was found to stabilise the collagen triple helix. In the 1960s, the presence of hydroxyproline in collagen was found to be a result of enzyme catalysed protein modification. An enzyme, now known as collagen prolyl-4-hydroxylase (CP4H), was found to...
