  • COLLAGEN HYDROXYLASES
    Publication number: 20140073575
    Abstract: Prolyl and lysyl hydroxylases isolated from Mimivirus are described. These are able to hydroxylate collagen. Isolated nucleic acids coding for the mentioned hydroxylases are incorporated into suitable vectors and used to express these hydroxylases in host cells, e.g. E. coli. Furthermore a method of manufacturing hydroxylated collagen in a host cell is described. The hydroxylases and the recombinantly expressed hydroxylated collagen are useful in clinical settings and biotechnology applications.
