The membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is a membrane-anchored protease that its entire ectodomain is shed from the cell surface. Here we show that in HT1080 cells MT1-MMP is shed as two soluble forms of approximately 52 and approximately 50kDa. Analyses in purified HT1080 plasma membranes show that release of these species is a two-step time-dependent process that is mediated by integral membrane metalloprotease(s). Differential sensitivity to TIMP-3 inhibition of the shedding process suggests that the second cleavage step leading to the formation of the 50-kDa soluble species is mediated by an ADAM. We also show that shedding of MT1-MMP is independent of its partition into lipid rafts because both wild type and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored MT1-MMP are shed. These studies provide new insights into the process of MT1-MMP ectodomain shedding, which may regulate pericellular proteolysis.
膜型1基质金属蛋白酶(MT1-MMP)是一种膜锚定蛋白酶,其整个胞外结构域会从细胞表面脱落。在此我们表明,在HT1080细胞中,MT1-MMP以两种可溶性形式脱落,分子量分别约为52 kDa和约50 kDa。对纯化的HT1080质膜的分析表明,这些形式的释放是一个两步的时间依赖性过程,由整合膜金属蛋白酶介导。对脱落过程中TIMP-3抑制的不同敏感性表明,导致形成50 kDa可溶性形式的第二步切割是由一种ADAM介导的。我们还表明,MT1-MMP的脱落与其在脂筏中的分配无关,因为野生型和糖基磷脂酰肌醇(GPI)锚定的MT1-MMP都会脱落。这些研究为MT1-MMP胞外结构域脱落过程提供了新的见解,该过程可能调节细胞周围的蛋白水解。
