Structural comparison of cuticle and interstitial collagens from annelids living in shallow sea-water and at deep-sea hydrothermal vents.

Abstract:

:Two types of annelid collagens of different sizes were purified, one from acetic acid extracts of the cuticle (length 2.5 microns) and the other, after pepsin digestion, from interstitial spaces of the body wall (0.3 micron). They were obtained from Alvinella pompejana, Alvinella caudata and Paralvinella grasslei collected at 2600 m depth around anoxic hydrothermal vents and from Arenicola marina and Nereis diversicolor living in shallow sea-water habitats. The length of the corresponding collagens from different species and their amino acid compositions including the hydroxylation of proline were remarkably similar. The melting point of the triple helix, however, differed between the Alvinella species (approximately 45 degrees C), Paralvinella (approximately 35 degrees C) and the shallow sea-water annelids (approximately 28 degrees C), indicating adaption to habitats with different temperatures. The cuticle collagens of the annelids possess a globular domain, which is apparently involved in oligomer formation, and show similar fragment pattern. Almost identical cross-striation patterns of segment-long-spacing segments of the interstitial collagens indicated sequence similarity, which was confirmed by partial Edman degradation of alpha-chains. These data showed almost complete identity between the two Alvinella species and a lower sequence identity with Paralvinella (approximately 95%), Arenicola (67 to 72%) and the vent vestimentiferan Riftia pachyptila (64 to 71%). The data suggest a close evolutionary relationship between these worms, despite a clear separation of habitat preference and thermal stability of the collagens.
