Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) mutants are susceptible to matrix metalloproteinase proteolysis: potential role in human MBL deficiency 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays a critical role in innate immunity. Point mutations in the collagen-like domain (R32C, G34D, or G37E) of MBL cause a serum deficiency, predisposing patients to infections and diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. We examined whether MBL mutants show enhanced susceptibility to proteolysis by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are important mediators in inflammatory tissue destruction. Human and rat MBL were resistant to proteolysis in the native state but were cleaved selectively within the collagen-like domain by multiple MMPs after heat denaturation. In contrast, rat MBL with mutations homologous to those of the human variants (R23C, G25D, or G28E) was cleaved efficiently without denaturation in the collagen-like domain by MMP-2 and MMP-9 (gelatinases A and B) and MMP-14 (membrane type-1 MMP), as well as by MMP-1 (collagenase-1), MMP-8 (neutrophil collagenase), MMP-3 (stromelysin-1), neutrophil elastase, and bacterial collagenase. Sites and order of cleavage of the rat MBL mutants for MMP-2 and MMP-9 were: Gly(45)-Lys(46) --> Gly(51)-Ser(52) --> Gly(63)-Gln(64) --> Asn(80)-Met(81) which differed from that of MMP-14, Gly(39)-Leu(40) --> Asn(80)-Met(81), revealing that the MMPs were not functionally interchangeable. These sites were homologous to those cleaved in denatured human MBL. Hence, perturbation of the collagen-like structure of MBL by natural mutations or by denaturation renders MBL susceptible to MMP cleavage. MMPs are likely to contribute to MBL deficiency in individuals with variant alleles and may also be involved in clearance of MBL and modulation of the host response in normal individuals. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) participate in physiological remodeling of the extracellular matrix. Recently we determined that both fibrinogen (Fg) and cross-linked fibrin (XL-Fb) are substrates for selected MMPs. Specifically, XL-Fb clots were solubilized by MMP-3 (stromelysin 1) by cleavage at gamma Gly 404-Ala 405, resulting in a D-like monomer fragment. Similarly, MMP-7 (matrilysin) and MT1-MMP (membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase) solubilized XL-Fb clots. However, the molecular mass of fragment D-dimer, obtained after MMP-7 and MT1-MMP degradation of XL-Fb, is similar to that of fragment D-dimer from plasmin degradation ( approximately 186 kDa). In contrast, fragment D-like monomer, from MMP-3 degradation of both fibrinogen (Fg) and XL-Fb, is similar to fragment D from plasmin degradation of Fg ( approximately 94 kDa). Reduced chains from MMP-3, MMP-7, and MT1-MMP digests of Fg and XL-Fb were subjected to direct sequence analyses and D/D-dimer alpha-chain showed cleavage at both alpha Asp 97-Phe 98 and alpha Asn 102-Asn 103. Degradation of the beta-chain resulted in microheterogeneity of cleavage sites at beta Asp 123-Leu 124, beta Asn 137-Val 138, and beta Glu 141-Tyr 142, whereas all three enzymes cleaved the gamma-chain at gamma Thr 83-Leu 84. In both Fg and XL-Fb, several cleavage sites obtained by proteolysis with MMP-3, MMP-7, and MT1-MMP were found to be in very close proximity to those obtained by plasmin on these same substrates. That does not occur with other MMPs such as MMP-1, -2, and -9 and MT2-MMP. The degradation of XL-Fb by MMPs suggests both plasmin-dependent and independent mechanisms of fibrinolysis that might be relevant in inflammation, angiogenesis, arthritis, and atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Ovostatin: a novel proteinase inhibitor from chicken egg white. II. Mechanism of inhibition studied with collagenase and thermolysin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The inhibition mechanism of ovostatin was studied using rabbit synovial collagenase and thermolysin. When enzymes were complexed with ovostatin, only the proteolytic activity towards high molecular weight substrates was inhibited. Activity towards low molecular weight substrates was partially modified: the catalytic activity of collagenase bound to ovostatin was inhibited by only 40% towards 2,4-dinitrophenyl-Pro-Gln-Gly-Ile-Ala-Gly-Gln-D-Arg and that of thermolysin bound to ovostatin was activated about 2.6-fold towards benzyloxycarbonyl-Gly-Leu-NH2 and benzyloxycarbonyl-Gly-Phe-NH2. Collagenase-ovostatin complexes failed to react with anti-(collagenase) antibody. Saturation of ovostatin with thermolysin prevented the subsequent binding of collagenase. Ovostatin-proteinase complexes ran faster than free ovostatin on 5% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Complexing ovostatin with either collagenase or thermolysin resulted in the cleavage of the quarter-subunit of ovostatin (Mr = 165,000) into two fragments with Mr = 88,000 and 78,000. On the other hand, when the inhibitory capacity of ovostatin was tested with trypsin, chymotrypsin, and papain, only partial inhibition of their proteolytic activities was observed towards azocasein. Stronger inhibition was noted when Azocoll was a substrate, however. Analyses of ovostatin-enzyme complexes by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the quarter-subunit of ovostatin was cleaved into several fragments by those enzymes. These results led us to propose that ovostatin inhibits metalloproteinases in preference to proteinases of other classes in a manner similar to alpha 2-macroglobulin; hydrolysis of a peptide bond by a proteinase in the susceptible region of the ovostatin polypeptide chain triggers a conformational change in the ovostatin molecule and the enzyme becomes bound to ovostatin in such a way that the proteinase is sterically hindered from access to large protein substrates and yet is accessible to small synthetic substrates. A kinetic study of collagenase binding to ovostatin gave the value of k2/Ki = 6.3 X 10(5) M-1 min-1. The results indicate that ovostatin is equally as good a substrate for collagenase as type I collagens. 相似文献

Mechanisms of activation of tissue procollagenase by matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin) 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
The mechanism of activation of tissue procollagenase by matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3)/stromelysin was investigated by kinetic and sequence analyses. MMP-3 slowly activated procollagenase by cleavage of the Gln80-Phe81 bond to generate a fully active collagenase of Mr = 41,000. The specific collagenolytic activity of this species was 27,000 units/mg (1 unit = 1 microgram of collagen digested in 1 min at 37 degrees C). Treatment of procollagenase with plasmin or plasma kallikrein gave intermediates of Mr = 46,000. These intermediates underwent rapid autolytic activation, via cleaving the Thr64-Leu65 bond, to give a collagenase species of Mr = 43,000 that exhibited only about 15% of the maximal specific activity. Similarly, (4-aminophenyl)mercuric acetate (APMA) activated procollagenase by intramolecular cleavage of the Val67-Met68 bond to generate a collagenase species of Mr = 43,000, but with only about 25% of the maximal specific activity. Subsequent incubation of the 43,000-Mr species with MMP-3 resulted in rapid, full activation and generated the 41,000-Mr collagenase by cleaving the Gln80-Phe81 bond. In the case of the proteinase-generated 43,000-Mr species, the action of MMP-3 was approximately 24,000 times faster than that on the native procollagenase. This indicates that the removal of a portion of the propeptide of procollagenase induces conformational changes around the Gln80-Phe81 bond, rendering it readily susceptible to MMP-3 activation. Prolonged treatment of procollagenase with APMA in the absence of MMP-3 also generated a 41,000-Mr collagenase, but this species had only 40% of the full activity and contained Val82 and Leu83 as NH2 termini. Thus, cleavage of the Gln80-Phe81 bond by MMP-3 is crucial for the expression of full collagenase activity. These results suggest that the activation of procollagenase by MMP-3 is regulated by two pathways: one with direct, slow activation by MMP-3 and the other with rapid activation in conjunction with tissue and/or plasma proteinases. The latter event may explain an accelerated degradation of collagens under certain physiological and pathological conditions. 相似文献

Matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin) activates the precursor for the human matrix metalloproteinase 9. 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), also known as 92-kDa gelatinase/type IV collagenase, is secreted from neutrophils, macrophages, and a number of transformed cells in zymogen form. Here we report that matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3/stromelysin) is an activator of the precursor of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (proMMP-9). MMP-3 initially cleaves proMMP-9 at the Glu40-Met41 bond located in the middle of the propeptide to generate an 86-kDa intermediate. Cleavage of this bond triggers a change in proMMP-9 that renders the Arg87-Phe88 bond susceptible to the second cleavage by MMP-3, resulting in conversion to an 82-kDa form. alpha 2-Macroglobulin binding studies of partially activated MMP-9 demonstrate that the 82-kDa species is proteolytically active, but not the initial intermediate of 86 kDa. This stepwise activation mechanism of proMMP-9 is analogous to those of other members of the MMP family, but the action of MMP-3 on proMMP-9 is the first example of zymogen activation that can be triggered by another member of the MMP family. The results imply that MMP-3 may be an effective activator of proMMP-9 in vivo. 相似文献

Characterization of human aggrecanase 2 (ADAM-TS5): substrate specificity studies and comparison with aggrecanase 1 (ADAM-TS4). 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

ADAM-TS5 (aggrecanase 2), one of two cartilage aggrecanases is a member of the ADAM protein family. Like ADAM-TS4 (aggrecanase 1) the enzyme cleaves cartilage aggrecan at the Glu(373)-Ala(374) bond, a marker of aggrecanase activity. In this study we have characterized the substrate specificity of ADAM-TS5 and compared it with that of ADAM-TS4. The recombinant human ADAM-TS5, like ADAM-TS4 cleaves aggrecan at Glu(1480)-Gly(1481), Glu(1667)-Gly(1668), Glu(1771)-Ala(1772) and Glu(1871)-Leu(1872) bonds more readily than at the Glu(373)-Ala(374) bond. In addition, ADAM-TS5 exhibited an additional site of cleavage in the region spanning residues Gly(1481) and Glu(1667), representing a unique cleavage of ADAM-TS5. ADAM-TS5 cleaved aggrecan approximately 2-fold slower than ADAM-TS4. Neither ADAM-TS5 nor ADAM-TS4 was able to cleave the extracellular matrix proteins fibronectin, thrombospondin, type I collagen, type II collagen, gelatin or general protein substrates such as casein and transferrin. Finally, the zymogen of stromelysin (MMP-3) was not activated by either ADAM-TS4 or ADAM-TS5. 相似文献

Several N-carboxyalkyl peptides were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of pig synovial collagenase, 72-kDa gelatinase and stromelysin (matrix metalloproteinases MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3). The most potent of the series, CH3CH2CH2(R,S)CH(COOH)-NH-Leu-Phe-Ala-NH2, competitively inhibited cleavage of dinitrophenyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Trp-Ala-D-Arg-NH2 at the Gly-Leu bond by MMP-1 and MMP-2 (KI = 30 and 40 microM, respectively). A similar inhibitory potency was found for MMP-1 with soluble Type I collagen and MMP-3 with substance P as substrate. The inhibitor was coupled to EAH-Sepharose 4B through a C-terminal amide. In the presence of 2 M NaCl at pH 7.2, this matrix bound MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-3 from concentrated culture medium of pig synovial membranes. The enzymes coeluted at pH 4.1 and subsequently were resolved by chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel and heparin-Sepharose. Purified MMP-1 catalyzed the o-phenanthroline-sensitive cleavage of collagen into TCA and TCB fragments as well as slower hydrolysis of the alpha 2 chain. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of MMP-1 indicated a predominant polypeptide of approximately 44 kDa and minor species of approximately 24 and 21 kDa. The 44-kDa species and one of the smaller polypeptides reacted with an antiserum to residues 195-207 of human fibroblast MMP-1, indicating that porcine MMP-1 contains a similar sequence and that the smaller components were probably derived from MMP-1. Neither MMP-2 nor MMP-3 reacted with this antiserum. Purified porcine MMP-2 degraded gelatin but not collagen and exhibited an apparent Mr of approximately 71 kDa. Additional smaller polypeptides were present, one of which may correspond to tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases. MMP-3 showed doublets of approximately 47/46 and 26/25 kDa and cleaved substance P at the Gly6-Phe7 bond. This procedure provides a rapid means of obtaining all three MMPs from one source in approximately 15% yield each. 相似文献

alpha 2-Macroglobulin is cleaved by human immunodeficiency virus-1 protease. The cleavage site is the Phe684-Tyr685 bond in the "bait region", an exposed part of alpha 2-macroglobulin, creating the "F-form". The methylamine derivative of alpha 2-macroglobulin is also cleaved at the same bond. The homologous chicken ovomacroglobulin does not form an F-form structure with the protease, although, F-form generation by other enzymes is known. This is possibly due to the lack of a suitable cleavage sequence in the corresponding region of ovomacroglobulin. In human alpha 2-macroglobulin, the interdomain segment between the main part of the molecule and the receptor-binding C-terminal domain is not cleaved by the HIV protease although typical cleavage sequences occur. In AIDS, therefore, HIV protease from infected cells in unlikely to interfere with receptor-binding of alpha 2-macroglobulin. 相似文献

Osteopontin, a novel substrate for matrix metalloproteinase-3 (stromelysin-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-7 (matrilysin) 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

Osteopontin (OPN) is a secreted phosphoprotein shown to function in wound healing, inflammation, and tumor progression. Expression of OPN is often co-localized with members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. We report that OPN is a novel substrate for two MMPs, MMP-3 (stromelysin-1) and MMP-7 (matrilysin). Three cleavage sites were identified for MMP-3 in human OPN, and two of those sites were also cleaved by MMP-7. These include hydrolysis of the human Gly166-Leu167, Ala201-Tyr202 (MMP-3 only), and Asp210-Leu211 peptide bonds. Only the N-terminal Gly-Leu cleavage site is conserved in rat OPN (Gly151-Leu152). These sites are distinct from previously reported cleavage sites in OPN for the proteases thrombin or enterokinase. We found evidence for the predicted MMP cleavage fragments of OPN in vitro in tumor cell lines, and in vivo in remodeling tissues such as the postpartum uterus, where OPN and MMPs are co-expressed. Furthermore, cleavage of OPN by MMP-3 or MMP-7 potentiated the function of OPN as an adhesive and migratory stimulus in vitro through cell surface integrins. We predict that interaction of MMPs with OPN at tumor and wound healing sites in vivo may be a mechanism of regulation of OPN bioactivity. 相似文献

Human neutrophils use the H2O2-myeloperoxidase-chloride system to generate chlorinated oxidants capable of activating metalloproteinase zymogens that hydrolyze not only native and denatured collagens, but also the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor (alpha 1 PI). To identify the metalloenzyme that hydrolyzes and inactivates alpha 1 PI, neutrophil releasates were chromatographed over gelatin-Sepharose and divided into fractions containing either progelatinase or procollagenase. The gelatinase-containing fraction cleaved alpha 1 PI in a manner inhibitable by native type V, but not type I, collagen. Conversely, while the collagenase-containing fraction also cleaved alpha 1 PI, this activity was inhibited by type I, but not type V, collagen. Because type I and V collagens are competitive substrates for collagenase and gelatinase, respectively, each of the metalloproteinase zymogens were purified to apparent homogeneity and examined for alpha 1 PI-hydrolytic activities. Both purified gelatinase and collagenase inactivated alpha 1PI by hydrolyzing the serpin within its active-site loop at the Phe352-Leu353 and Pro357-Met358 bonds, albeit with distinct kinetic properties. Furthermore, purified collagenase, but not gelatinase, cleaved a second serpin, alpha 1-antichymotrypsin, by hydrolyzing the Ala362-Leu363 bond within its active-site loop. These data demonstrate that human neutrophils use chlorinated oxidants to activate collagenolytic metalloproteinases whose substrate specificities can be extended to members of the serpin superfamily. 相似文献

Degradation of type IX collagen by matrix metalloproteinase 3 (stromelysin) from human rheumatoid synovial cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The degradation of type IX collagen, a minor collagen in cartilage, was examined by treatment with three different types of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) purified from the culture medium of rheumatoid synovial cells. Neither MMP-1 (collagenase) nor MMP-2 (so-called 'gelatinase') could digest type IX collagen, but MMP-3 (stromelysin) readily degraded it into smaller fragments. This suggests that MMP-3 may be responsible for the pathological degradation and/or normal turnover of type IX collagen. 相似文献

Differential susceptibility of type X collagen to cleavage by two mammalian interstitial collagenases and 72-kDa type IV collagenase 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

We have studied the degradation of type X collagen by human skin fibroblast and rat uterus interstitial collagenases and human 72-kDa type IV collagenase. The interstitial collagenases attacked the native type X helix at two loci, cleaving residues Gly92-Leu93 and Gly420-Ile421, both scissions involving Gly-X bonds of Gly-X-Y-Z-A sequences. However, the human and rat interstitial enzymes displayed an opposite and substantial selectivity for each of these potential sites, with the uterine enzyme catalyzing the Gly420-Ile421 cleavage almost 20-fold faster than the Gly92-Leu93 locus. Values for enzyme-substrate affinity were approximately 1 microM indistinguishable from the corresponding Km values against type I collagen. Interestingly, in attacking type X collagen, both enzymes manifested kinetic properties intermediate between those characterizing the degradation of native and denatured collagen substrates. Thus, energy dependence of reaction velocity revealed a value of EA of 45 kcal, typical of native interstitial collagen substrates. However, the substitution of D2O for H2O in solvent buffer failed to slow type X collagenolysis significantly (kH/kD = 1.1), in contrast to the 50-70% slowing (kH/kD = 2-3) observed with native interstitial collagens. Since this lack of deuterium isotope effect is characteristic of interstitial collagenase cleavage of denatured collagens, we investigated the capacity of another metalloproteinase with substantial gelatinolytic activity, 72-kDa type IV collagenase, to degrade type X collagen. The 72-kDa type IV collagenase cleaved type X collagen at both 25 and 37 degrees C, and at loci in close proximity to those attacked by the interstitial enzymes. No further cleavages were observed at either temperature with type IV collagenase, and although values for kcat were not determined (due to associated tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2), catalytic rates appeared to be substantial in comparison to the interstitial enzymes. In contrast, type X collagen was completely resistant to proteolysis by stromelysin. Type X collagen thus appears to be highly unusual in its susceptibility to degradation by both interstitial collagenase and another member of the metalloproteinase gene family. 相似文献

The mechanism of human polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMNL) procollagenase activation by HgCl2 was investigated by kinetic and sequence analysis of the reaction products. HgCl2 activated PMNL procollagenase by intramolecular autoproteolytic cleavage of the Asn53-Val54 peptide bond to generate a collagenase species of Mr 65000, which was immediately converted into a second intermediate collagenase form by further autoproteolytic cleavage of the Asp64-Met65 peptide bond within the propeptide domain. This intermediate form (Met65 N-terminus) reached maximum concentrations after 45 min and displayed only about 40% of the maximum available enzymatic activity. Final activation was obtained after autoproteolytic cleavage of either Phe79-Met80 or Met80-Leu81 peptide bonds. Furthermore, activation in the presence of TIMP-1 did not suppress the intramolecular autoproteolytic cleavage of the Asn53-Val54 peptide bond. Complete inhibition of further autoproteolytic decay of the enzyme or generated peptides was observed, which was obviously due to complex formation between the intermediate collagenase form (Val54 N-terminus) and inhibitor, which was visualized using the Western blot technique. Thus PMNL procollagenase activation by HgCl2 followed a three-step activation mechanism which is entirely different from the known activation mechanisms of the fibroblast matrix metalloproteinases. 相似文献

The interaction between four Crotalus atrox hemorrhagic metalloproteinases and human alpha 2-macroglobulin was investigated. The proteolytic activity of the hemorrhagic toxins Ht-c, -d, and -e against the large molecular weight protein substrates, gelatin type I and collagen type IV, was completely inhibited by alpha 2-macroglobulin. The proteolytic activity of Ht-a against the same substrates was not significantly inhibited. Each mole of alpha 2-macroglobulin bound maximally 2 mol of Ht-e and 1.1 mol of Ht-c and Ht-d. These proteinases interacted with alpha 2-macroglobulin rapidly at 22 degrees C. Rate constants based on intrinsic fluorescence measurements were 0.62 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 for interaction of alpha 2-macroglobulin with Ht-c and -d and 2.3 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 for the interaction of alpha 2-macroglobulin with Ht-e. Ht-a interacted with alpha 2-macroglobulin very slowly at 22 degrees C. Increasing the temperature to 37 degrees C and prolonging the time of interaction with alpha 2-macroglobulin resulted in the formation of Mr 90,000 fragments and high molecular weight complexes (Mr greater than 180,000), in which Ht-a is covalently bound to the carboxy-terminal fragment of alpha 2-M. The identification of the sites of specific proteolysis of alpha 2-macroglobulin shows that the cleavage sites for the four metalloproteinases are within the bait region of alpha 2-macroglobulin. Ht-c and -d cleave only at one site, the Arg696-Leu697 peptide bond, which is also the site of cleavage for plasmin, thrombin, trypsin, and thermolysin. Ht-a cleaves alpha 2-macroglobulin primarily at the same site, but a secondary cleavage site at the His694-Ala695 peptide bond was also identified.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

TNF alpha converting enzyme (TACE) processes precursor TNF alpha between Ala76 and Val77, yielding a correctly processed bioactive 17 kDa protein. Genetic evidence indicates that TACE may also be involved in the shedding of other ectodomains. Here we show that native and recombinant forms of TACE efficiently processed a synthetic substrate corresponding to the TNF alpha cleavage site only. For all other substrates, conversion occurred only at high enzyme concentrations and prolonged reaction times. Often, cleavage under those conditions was accompanied by nonspecific reactions. We also compared TNF alpha cleavage by TACE to cleavage by those members of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family previously implied in TNF alpha release. The specificity constants for TNF alpha cleavage by the MMPs were approximately 100-1000-fold slower relative to TACE. MMP 7 also processed precursor TNF alpha at the correct cleavage site but did so with a 30-fold lower specificity constant relative to TACE. In contrast, MMP 1 processed precursor TNF alpha between Ala74 and Gln75, in addition to between Ala76 and Val77, while MMP 9 cleaved this natural substrate solely between Ala74 and Gln75. Additionally, the MMP substrate Dnp-PChaGC(Me)HK(NMA)-NH(2) was not cleaved at all by TACE, while collagenase (MMP 1), gelatinase (MMP 9), stromelysin 1 (MMP 3), and matrilysin (MMP 7) all processed this substrate efficiently. All of these results indicate that TACE is unique in terms of its specificity requirements for substrate cleavage. 相似文献

Covalent structure of collagen: amino acid sequence of alpha 1 (III)-CB5 from type III collagen of human liver 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Type III collagen was prepared from human liver by limited pepsin digestion, differential salt precipitation, and carboxymethylcellulose chromatography. Ten distinct peptides were obtained by cyanogen bromide digestion. The peptide alpha 1 (III)-CB5 was further purified by carboxymethylcellulose chromatography, and its amino acid sequence was determined. Automatic Edman degradation of intact alpha 1 (III)-CB5, tryptic and thermolytic peptides, and hydroxylamine-derived fragments was used to establish the total sequence. The mammalian collagenase site contained in the alpha 1 (III)-CB5 sequence was ascertained by digestion of native type III collagen with purified rheumatoid synovial collagenase. Collagenase cleavage occurred at a single Gly--Ile bond, one triplet before the corresponding specific cleavage site of type I collagen. The present work brings the known sequence of human liver type III collagen to include alpha 1 (III)-CB3-7-6-1-8-10-2-4-5. These correspond to the homologous region of alpha 1 (I)-CB0-1-2-4-5-8-3-7 residues 11--804. 相似文献

Preferential binding of collagenase to alpha 2-macroglobulin in the presence of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The binding of collagenase to both alpha 2-macroglobulin and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases was studied using purified materials. Collagenase bound preferentially to alpha 2-macroglobulin although no transfer of collagenase to alpha 2-macroglobulin occurred if the enzyme was first mixed with the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases. The sequences of amino acids in both inhibitors likely to be responsible for the binding of collagenase are discussed and compared to the cleavage site in the collagen molecule. 相似文献

To define the capacity of glucocorticoids to regulate tissue damage associated with inflammation more clearly, we have studied the effects of dexamethasone on human alveolar macrophage secretion of both a variety of metalloproteinases and also the counter-regulatory tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP). We found that dexamethasone selectively and coordinately inhibited expression of the following human metalloproteinases: interstitial collagenase, stromelysin, and the 92-kDa type IV collagenase, as well as TIMP. Both basal and LPS-stimulated cells exhibited similar degrees of inhibition, with greater than 50% decrease in secretion of all enzymes and TIMP observed at dexamethasone concentrations of greater than or equal to 10(-8) M in serum-containing medium. The effects of dexamethasone were mediated at a pretranslational level. In summary, our results indicate that glucocorticoids suppress the matrix-degrading phenotype that is characteristic of mature human mononuclear phagocytes, and block the effects of the most potent known signal for upregulation of metalloproteinase secretion. Similar actions in vivo would serve to limit tissue damage associated with the inflammatory response. 相似文献

Recent evidence indicates novel role for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), in particular gelatinase A (MMP-2), in the regulation
of vascular biology that are unrelated to their well-known proteolytic breakdown of matrix proteins. We have previously reported
that MMP-2 can modulate vascular reactivity by cleavage of the Gly32-Leu33 bound in big endothelin-1 (ET-1) yielding a novel
vasoactive peptide ET-1[1–32]. These studies were conducted to investigate whether gelatinolytic MMPs could affect neutrophil-endothelial
cell attachment. ET-1[1–32] produced by MMP-2 up-regulated CD11b/CD18 expression on human neutrophils, thereby promoted their
adhesion to cultured endothelial cells. ET-1[1–32] evoked release of gelatinase B (MMP-9), which in turn cleaved big ET-1
to yield ET-1[1–32], thus revealing a self-amplifying loop for ET-1[1–32] generation. ET-1[1–32] was rather resistant to cleavage
by neutrophil proteases and further metabolism of ET-1[1–32] was not a prerequisite for its biological actions on neutrophils.
The neutrophil responses to ET-1[1–32] were mediated via activation of ETA receptors through activation of the Ras/Raf-1/MEK/ERK
signaling pathway. These results suggest a novel role for gelatinase A and B in the regulation of neutrophil functions and
their interactions with endothelial cells. Here we describe the methods in detail as they relate to our previously published
work.

Collagenase cleavage of human Type II and III collagens has been studied using a highly purified preparation of rabbit tumor collagenase. Progress of the reactions in solution was followed by viscometry and the results indicated that under the conditions employed Type III collagen molecules were cleaved at approximately five times the rate of Type II molecules. Cleavage products of the reactions were isolated in denatured form by agarose molecular sieve chromatography. The molecular weights and amino acid compositions of the products demonstrated that Type II and III molecules had been cleaved at the characteristic three-quarter, one-quarter locus, giving rise to a large fragment derived from the NH2-terminal portion of the molecule and a smaller fragment representing the COOH-terminal region. The amino acid sequence at the NH2-terminal portion of the smaller fragment derived from Type II collagen was determined to be Ile-Ala-Gly-Gln-Arg, and the corresponding region from Type III collagen was found to have the sequence Leu-Ala Gly-Leu-Arg. These sequences for alpha1(II) and alpha1(III) chains adjacent to the site of collagenase cleavage along with previous data for alpha1(I) and alpha2 chains indicate that the minimum specific sequence required for collagenase cleavage is Gly-Ile-Ala or Gly-Leu-Ala. Inspection of the available sequence data for collagen alpha chains indicates that the latter sequences are found in at least three additional locations at which collagenase cleavage does not occur. Each of the sequences which are apparently not substrates for collagenase, however, are followed by a Gly-X-Hyp sequence. We suggest, then, that a minimum of five residues in collagen alpha chains COOH-terminal to the cleavage site comprise the substrate recognition site. 相似文献
