Prolyl 4-hydroxylase (proline hydroxylase, EC 1.14.11.2) catalyzes the hydroxylation of proline in -Xaa-Pro-Gly- triplets in collagens and other proteins with collagen-like sequences. The enzyme plays a central role in the synthesis of all collagens, as the 4-hydroxyproline residues formed in the reaction are essential for the folding of the newly synthesized collagen polypeptide chains into triple helical molecules. |
