Journal ArticleDOI
The collagenolytic activity of cathepsin K is unique among mammalian proteinases.
P. Garnero,O. Borel,Inger Byrjalsen,Mercedes Ferreras,F. Drake,Michael S. McQueney,Niels T. Foged,Pierre D. Delmas,Jean-Marie Delaissé +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the activity of cathepsin K alone is sufficient to dissolve completely insoluble collagen of adult human cortical bone and is likely to be responsible for the key role of cat hepsIn K in bone resorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autocatalytic Activation of Human Cathepsin K
Michael S. McQueney,Bernard Y. Amegadzie,Karla J. D'Alessio,Charles R. Hanning,Megan M. McLaughlin,Dean E. McNulty,Steven A. Carr,Carl F. Ijames,Jeff Kurdyla,Christopher Jones +9 more
TL;DR: The in vitro activation of the recombinant purified human cathepsin K was an autocatalytic process and could be fully processed to mature enzyme by including one equivalent of wild-type procathepsIn K in the activation mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the C-terminally truncated human ProMMP9, a gelatin-binding matrix metalloproteinase
Patricia A. Elkins,Yen Sen Ho,Ward W. Smith,Cheryl A. Janson,Karla J. D'Alessio,Michael S. McQueney,Maxwell D. Cummings,Anne M. Romanic +7 more
TL;DR: Comparison with the crystal structure of the most closely related MMP, MMP2, indicates that the conformations of residues in the active-site cleft and in the cysteine-switch peptide of the prodomain are highly conserved and that design of MMP9-specific inhibitors will be challenging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of potent and selective human cathepsin K inhibitors that span the active site
Scott K. Thompson,S. M. Halbert,Mary J. Bossard,Thaddeus A. Tomaszek,Mark Alan Levy,Baoguang Zhao,Ward W. Smith,Sherin S. Abdel-Meguid,Cheryl A. Janson,Karla J. D'Alessio,Michael S. McQueney,Bernard Y. Amegadzie,Charles R. Hanning,Renee L. DesJarlais,J. Briand,S K Sarkar,Michael J. Huddleston,Carl F. Ijames,Steven A. Carr,K T Garnes,A Shu,J R Heys,J Bradbeer,D Zembryki,L. Lee-Rykaczewski,I. E. James,Michael W. Lark,F. H. Drake,Maxine Gowen,John G. Gleason,Daniel F. Veber +30 more
TL;DR: Initial kinetic studies suggest the possibility of irreversible and reversible active-site modification in cathepsin K, a cysteine protease unique to osteoclasts, and promising leads for therapeutic agents for the treatment of osteoporosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal structure of human osteoclast cathepsin K complex with E-64.
Baoguang Zhao,Cheryl A. Janson,Bernard Y. Amegadzie,Karla J. D'Alessio,Charles Griffin,Charles R. Hanning,Christopher K. R. T. Jones,Jeff Kurdyla,Michael S. McQueney,Xiayang Qiu,Ward W. Smith,Sherin S. Abdel-Meguid +11 more
TL;DR: The structure of human cathepsin K, a potential target for treatment of osteoporosis, reveals active site differences with homologous cysteine proteinases that should enable the design of cathePSin K selective inhibitors.
