Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of human stromelysin and collagenase by cloning and sequence analysis

TL;DR: A comparison of the cDNA-derived amino acid sequences of human stromelysin and collagenase with the N-terminal sequences of purified enzymes reveals that these metalloproteinases are highly conserved and that they are secreted as proenzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification of rabbit bone inhibitor of collagenase.

TL;DR: Rabbit bones in tissue culture synthesize an inhibitor of collagenase during the first 4 days of culture, which blocked the activity of the metalloproteinases collagenase, gelatinase, neutral proteinase III (proteoglycanase), human leucocyte collagenase and gelatinases, but not thermolysin or bacterial collagenase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Binding of gelatinases A and B to type-I collagen and other matrix components.

TL;DR: It is concluded that gelatinases have different binding specificities from those previously documented for stromelysin and collagenase, which bind through their C-terminal domains to collagen fibrils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of gelatinase from pig polymorphonuclear leucocytes. A metalloproteinase resembling tumour type IV collagenase.

TL;DR: Data suggest that there are two distinct major forms of gelatinolytic activity that also cause specific cleavage of type IV collagen, which are associated with a wide variety of normal connective tissue and haemopoietic cells, as well as many tumour cells.
