Embryonic-chick tendon cells were incubated in suspension for 4h with (14)C-labelled amino acids, cell extracts were subjected to gel filtration, and the effluent was examined by rocket immunoelectrophoresis by using antibodies specific for the beta-subunit of chick prolyl hydroxylase. Two peaks of immunoreactive protein were found. The first peak contained 40% of the immunoreactive protein eluted from the column and 100% of the enzyme activity. Polyacrylamide-slab-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate of an immunoprecipitate of this peak demonstrated that it consisted of the tetrameric form of prolyl hydroxylase, subunit composition alpha(2)beta(2) where alpha and beta are non-identical subunits. Only the alpha-subunits were labelled, indicating that they were synthesized during the 4h labelling period. The beta-subunits were unlabelled, indicating that they had been synthesized before the labelling period. The second peak eluted from the gel-filtration column contained 60% of the immunoreactive protein eluted from the column and was enzymically inactive. Polyacrylamide-slab-gel electrophoresis of an immunoprecipitate of this peak indicated that it consisted of a single labelled polypeptide chain, identified as cross-reacting protein, which was related to, but not identical with, the beta-subunit of prolyl hydroxylase. Pulse-chase experiments were performed on cultured chick tendon cells to demonstrate that alpha-subunits and cross-reacting protein had half-lives of about 60h. The half-life of beta-subunits was considerably longer, and the kinetic pattern was consistent with their being derived from a labelled precursor such as cross-reacting protein. The data presented here indicate that the active tetrameric form of prolyl hydroxylase in cells is assembled from alpha-subunits which are newly synthesized, and from beta-subunits which are derived from cross-reacting protein.
