A truncated form of the membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-1 [(Ala21-Ile318)proMT1-MMP] lacking the hemopexin-like and trans-membrane domain was produced in E. coli. We demonstrate that the recombinant proenzyme was autoproteolytically processed to a fully active catalytic domain with N-terminal Ile114. The catalytic domain of MT1-MMP initiated the activation of progelatinase A and progelatinase A complexed with tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2). As a typical soluble metalloproteinase it was able to cleave physiologic as well as synthetic substrates. Our kinetic data demonstrate that TIMP-2 is a potent inhibitor for the recombinant enzyme.
在大肠杆菌中产生了一种截短形式的膜型基质金属蛋白酶-1[(Ala21-Ile318)proMT1-MMP],其缺乏类血红素结合蛋白样结构域和跨膜结构域。我们证明重组酶原可通过自身蛋白水解加工成具有N端Ile114的完全活性催化结构域。MT1-MMP的催化结构域启动了明胶酶原A以及与金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂-2(TIMP-2)复合的明胶酶原A的激活。作为一种典型的可溶性金属蛋白酶,它能够切割生理底物以及合成底物。我们的动力学数据表明TIMP-2是该重组酶的有效抑制剂。
