The Hemopexin-like Domain (C Domain) of Human Gelatinase A (Matrix Metalloproteinase-2) Requires Ca for Fibronectin and Heparin Binding BINDING PROPERTIES OF RECOMBINANT GELATINASE A C DOMAIN TO EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX AND BASEMENT MEMBRANE COMPONENTS*
The binding properties of the COOH-terminal hemopexin-like domain (C domain) of human gelatinase A (matrix metalloproteinase-2, 72-kDa gelatinase) were investigated to determine whether the C domain has binding affinity for extracellular matrix and basement membrane components. Recombinant C domain (rC domain) (Gly-Cys) was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified protein, identified usi...
متن کاملPrimary structure of a DNA- and heparin-binding domain (Domain III) in human plasma fibronectin.
The complete amino acid sequence of a DNA- and heparin-binding domain isolated by limited thermolysin digestion of human plasma fibronectin has been obtained. The domain contains 90 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 10,225. The apparent molecular mass of this domain is 14 kDa when analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis. The anomalously high molecular size estimat...
متن کاملThe hemopexin-like C-terminal domain of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase regulates proteolysis of a multifunctional protein, gC1qR.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) including membrane type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP) can degrade extracellular matrix and cell surface receptor molecules and have an essential function in malignancy. Recently, we established a functional link between MT1-MMP and the receptor of complement component 1q (gC1qR). The gC1qR is known as a compartment-specific regulator of diverse cellular and viral proteins. On...

متن کاملSmall-molecule anticancer compounds selectively target the hemopexin domain of matrix metalloproteinase-9.
Lack of target specificity by existing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors has hindered antimetastatic cancer drug discovery. Inhibitors that bind to noncatalytic sites of MMPs and disrupt protease signaling function have the potential to be more specific and selective. In this work, compounds that target the hemopexin (PEX) domain of MMP-9 were identified using an in silico docking appro...
