Function
COLG_HATHI Clostridial collagenases are among the most efficient degraders of eukaryotic collagen known; saprophytes use collagen as a carbon source while pathogens additionally digest collagen to aid in host colonization. Has both tripeptidylcarboxypeptidase on Gly-X-Y and endopeptidase activities; the endopeptidase cuts within the triple helix region of collagen while tripeptidylcarboxypeptidase successively digests the exposed ends, thus clostridial collagenases can digest large sections of collagen (PubMed:3002446). Active on soluble type I collagen, insoluble collagen, azocoll, soluble PZ-peptide (all collagenase substrates) and gelatin (PubMed:9922257). The full-length protein has collagenase activity, while the in vivo derived C-terminally truncated shorter versions only act on gelatin (PubMed:9922257). In vitro digestion of soluble calf skin collagen fibrils requires both ColG and ColH; ColG forms missing the second collagen-binding domain are also synergistic with ColH, although their overall efficiency is decreased (PubMed:18374061, PubMed:22099748). The activator domain (residues 119-388) and catalytic subdomain (389-670) open and close around substrate using a Gly-rich hinge (387-397), allowing digestion when the protein is closed (PubMed:21947205, PubMed:23703618). Binding of collagen requires Ca(2+) and is inhibited by EGTA; the collagen-binding domain (CBD, S3a plus S3b) specifically recognizes the triple-helical conformation made by 3 collagen protein chains in the triple-helical region (PubMed:11121400). Isolated CBD (S3a plus S3b) binds collagen fibrils and sheets of many tissues (PubMed:11913772).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
In view of the worldwide antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threat, new bacterial targets and anti-infective agents are needed. Since important roles in bacterial pathogenesis have been demonstrated for the collagenase H and G (ColH and ColG) from Clostridium histolyticum, collagenase Q1 and A (ColQ1 and ColA) from Bacillus cereus represent attractive antivirulence targets. Furthermore, repurposing FDA-approved drugs may assist to tackle the AMR crisis and was addressed in this work. Here, we report on the discovery of two potent and chemically stable bacterial collagenase inhibitors: synthesized and FDA-approved diphosphonates and hydroxamates. Both classes showed high in vitro activity against the clostridial and bacillary collagenases. The potent diphosphonates reduced B. cereus-mediated detachment and death of cells and Galleria mellonella larvae. The hydroxamates were also tested in a similar manner; they did not have an effect in infection models. This might be due to their fast binding kinetics to bacterial collagenases.
