| + | An acidic environment in bone is essential for bone metabolism and the production of decarboxylated osteocalcin, which functions as a regulatory hormone of glucose metabolism. Here, we describe the high-resolution X-ray crystal structure of decarboxylated osteocalcin under acidic conditions. Decarboxylated osteocalcin at pH 2.0 retains the alpha-helix structure of native osteocalcin with three gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues at neutral pH. This implies that decarboxylated osteocalcin is stable under an acidic environment in bone. In addition, site-directed mutagenesis revealed that Glu17 and Glu21 are important for the adiponectin-inducing activity of decarboxylated osteocalcin. These findings suggest that the receptor of decarboxylated osteocalcin responds to the negative charge in helix 1 of osteocalcin. | ||
