The initial proteolytic events in the hydrolysis of rat tendon type I collagen by the class I and II collagenases from Clostridium histolyticum have been investigated at 15 degrees C. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis has been used to detect the initial cleavage fragments of both the alpha 1(I) and alpha 2 chains, which migrate at different rates in the buffer system employed. Experiments with the class I collagenases indicate that the first cleavage occurs across all three chains of the triple helix close to the C-terminus to produce fragments whose alpha chains have molecular weights of approximately 88,000. The second cleavage occurs near the N-terminus to reduce the molecular weight of the alpha chains to 80,000. Initial proteolysis by the class II collagenases occurs across all three chains at a site in the interior of the collagen triple helix to give N- and C-terminal fragments with alpha-chain molecular weights of 35,000 and 62,000, respectively. The C-terminal fragment is subsequently cleaved to give fragments with alpha-chain molecular weights of 59,000. These results indicate that type I collagen is degraded at several hyperreactive sites by these enzymes. Thus, initial proteolysis by these bacterial collagenases occurs at specific sites, much like the mammalian collagenases. These results with the individual clostridial collagenases provide an explanation for earlier data which indicated that collagen is degraded sequentially from the ends by a crude clostridial collagenase preparation.
