Journal ArticleDOI

The c-proteinase that processes procollagens to fibrillar collagens is identical to the protein previously identified as bone morphogenic protein-1

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that procollagen C-proteinase is identical to BMP-1, a member of the "astacin families" of zinc-requiring endopeptidases that play critical roles in embryonic hatching, dorsal/ventral patterning, and early developmental decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Procollagen N-proteinase and procollagen C-proteinase: Two unusual metalloproteinases that are essential for procollagen processing probably have important roles in development and cell signaling

TL;DR: The data suggest that both the N- and C-proteinases have important biological functions in addition to the roles in the processing of procollagens.
Journal ArticleDOI

cDNA cloning and expression of bovine procollagen I N-proteinase: A new member of the superfamily of zinc-metalloproteinases with binding sites for cells and other matrix components

TL;DR: The enzyme may play a role in development that is independent of its role in collagen biosynthesis, supported by the observation that in some tissues the levels of mRNA for the enzyme are disproportionately high relative to the apparent rate of collagen biosynthetic.
