The collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs, EC1.14.11.2) play a critical role in the synthesis of the extracellular matrix. The enzymes characterized from vertebrates andDrosophila are α2β2 tetramers, in which protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) serves as the β subunit. Two conserved α subunit isoforms, PHY-1 and PHY-2, have been identified in Caenorhabditis elegans. We report here that three unique P4H forms are assembled from these polypeptides and the single β subunit PDI-2, both in a recombinant expression system andin vivo, namely a PHY-1/PHY-2/(PDI-2)2 mixed tetramer and PHY-1/PDI-2 and PHY-2/PDI-2 dimers. The mixed tetramer is the main P4H form in wild-type C. elegans butphy-2−/− andphy-1−/− (dpy-18) mutant nematodes can compensate for its absence by increasing the assembly of the PHY-1/PDI-2 and PHY-2/PDI-2 dimers, respectively. All three of the mixed tetramer-forming polypeptides PHY-1, PHY-2, and PDI-2 are coexpressed in the cuticle collagen-synthesizing hypodermal cells. The catalytic properties of the mixed tetramer are similar to those of other P4Hs, and analogues of 2-oxoglutarate were found to produce severe temperature-dependent effects on P4H mutant strains. Formation of the novel mixed tetramer was species-specific, and studies with hybrid recombinant PHY polypeptides showed that residues Gln121–Ala271 and Asp1–Leu122 in PHY-1 and PHY-2, respectively, are critical for its assembly.
