Title: | Meprins process matrix metalloproteinase-9 ( MMP-9)/gelatinase B and enhance the activation kinetics by MMP-3 | Authors: | GEURTS, Nathalie Becker-Pauly, Christoph Martens, Erik Proost, Paul Van den Steen, Philippe E. Stöcker, Walter OPDENAKKER, Ghislain |
Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV | Source: | FEBS LETTERS, 586 (24), p. 4264-4269 | Abstract: | Meprin alpha and beta, members of the astacin family of zinc metalloproteinases, are unique plasma membrane and secreted proteases known to cleave a wide range of biological substrates involved in inflammation, cancer and fibrosis. In this study, we identified proMMP-9 as a novel substrate and show that aminoterminal meprin-mediated clipping improves the activation kinetics of proMMP-9 by MMP-3, an efficient activator of proMMP-9. Interestingly, the NH2-terminus LVLFPGDL, generated by incubation with meprin alpha, is identical to the form produced in conditioned media from human neutrophils and monocytes. Hence, this meprin-mediated processing and enhancement of MMP-9 activation kinetics may have biological relevance in the context of in vivo inflammatory processes.
