Rearranging exosites in noncatalytic domains can redirect the substrate specificity of ADAMTS proteases.
ADAMTS proteases typically employ some combination of ancillary C-terminal disintegrin-like, thrombospondin-1, cysteine-rich, and spacer domains to bind substrates and facilitate proteolysis by an N-terminal metalloprotease domain. We constructed chimeric proteases and substrates to examine the role of C-terminal domains of ADAMTS13 and ADAMTS5 in the recognition of their physiological cleavage...
متن کاملProgesterone acts via the progesterone receptor to induce adamts proteases in ovarian cancer cells
BACKGROUND Ovarian carcinomas, usually associated with sex hormones dysregulation, are the leading cause of gynecological neoplastic death. In normal ovaries, hormones play a central role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. On the other hand, hormonal alterations also play a variety of roles in cancer. Stimulation by sex hormones potentially affects gene expression...
متن کاملThe ADAMTS proteases, extracellular matrix, and vascular disease: waking the sleeping giant(s)!
The importance of proteases as mediators of extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and vascular cell phenotype in the pathogenesis of vascular disease is indisputable. In fact, excellent cases can be made for the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) (see review1), the serine proteases (see review2), and the cysteine and aspartic proteases (see review3) being involved in many of the events in vascul...
متن کاملThe periovulatory period in cattle: progesterone, prostaglandins, oxytocin and ADAMTS proteases.
Ovulation has long been recognized as one of the most dramatic reproductive processes. Decades of research on how the LH/FSH surge leads to ovulation have made it clear that the surge induces a very complex cascade of changes. Studies of genetically modified mice have pointed to progesterone (P4) and its receptor (PGR) and the prostaglandins (PGs) as critical components of the ovulatory cascade...
متن کاملProgesterone-regulated genes in the ovulation process: ADAMTS-1 and cathepsin L proteases.
Ovulation is a precisely timed process by which a mature oocyte is released from an ovarian follicle. This process is initiated by the pituitary surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), is temporally associated with transcriptional regulation of numerous genes, and is presumed to involve the synthesis and/or activation of specific proteases that degrade the follicle wall. The progesterone receptor (P...
