Journal ArticleDOI

Biochemical Characterization of Human Collagenase-3

TL;DR: Analysis of the substrate specificity of collagenase-3 revealed that soluble type II collagen was preferentially hydrolyzed, while the enzyme was 5 or 6 times less efficient at cleaving type I or III collagen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular Mechanisms for Human Procollagenase-3 (MMP-13) Activation EVIDENCE THAT MT1-MMP (MMP-14) AND GELATINASE A (MMP-2) ARE ABLE TO GENERATE ACTIVE ENZYME

TL;DR: It is established that progelatinase A can considerably potentiate the activation rate of procollagenase-3 by crude plasma membrane preparations from concanavalin A-stimulated fibroblasts, thus confirming the results using purified progelasinase A and MT1-MMP.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Soluble Catalytic Domain of Membrane Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase Cleaves the Propeptide of Progelatinase A and Initiates Autoproteolytic Activation REGULATION BY TIMP-2 AND TIMP-3

TL;DR: The basic mechanism of MT1-MMP action on progelatinase A is demonstrated and the reason for the lack of inhibition by TIMP-1 previously demonstrated in cell-based activation studies is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane‐Type Matrix Metalloproteinases 1 and 2 Exhibit Broad‐Spectrum Proteolytic Capacities Comparable to Many Matrix Metalloproteinases

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that, in addition to their ability to activate other MMP, MT-MMP degrade a number of extracellular matrix macromolecules, and their location at the surface of cells implies that they could play a significant role in the modulation of cell-matrix interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of the C-terminal domain of human collagenase-3 (MMP-13) in the activation of procollagenase-3, substrate specificity, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase interaction.

TL;DR: Kinetic analysis of the mechanism of inhibition of wild-type and Δ249-451 collagenase-3 by wild- type and mutant tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMPs) revealed that the association rates for complex formation were influenced by both N- and C-terminal domain interactions.
