S100A4 is a multiple-function protein highly expressed in tumor or stem cells. We found S100A4 was a novel protein partner for heat shock protein 47 (HSP47) in deer antlerogenic periosteum cells (AP cells), indicating that S100A4 could bind with HSP47. S100A4 had both calcium-dependent and calcium-independent patterns (labeled as SCd and SCi, respectively) to execute different biological activities. Homology models of HSP47, SCd and SCi were constructed. HSP47:collagen model, HSP47:collagen I-V, HSP47:SCd and HSP47:SCi complexes were built using ZDOCK software. Together with free SCd and SCi, 200 ns molecular dynamic (MD) simulations were performed to analyze binding free energies and SCi/SCd conformational changes. The energetic results showed that SCi had the strongest affinity to HSP47, and followed by collagens. SCd had little interaction with HSP47. Decomposition energy results showed that collagen model interacted with HSP47 mainly though neutral amino acids. When SCi bound with HSP47, the majority of mediated amino acids were charged. These results indicated that SCi could compete with collagen on the binding site of HSP47. Root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) values and cross-correlation matrices of principal component analysis (PCA) were calculated to evaluate the SCi/SCd structural variation during MD simulation. Both HSP47 and Ca could stabilize the conformation of SCi/SCd. The loops interacting with Cas and linking the two EF-hand motifs were impacted particularly. The relative moving directions of α-helices in EF-hands were distinct by the binding effect of HSP47 and Ca. We found that SCi may regulate the differentiation of AP cells by disturbing the interaction between HSP47 and collagen. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
