Journal ArticleDOI

A metalloproteinase disintegrin that releases tumour-necrosis factor-α from cells

TL;DR: The results should facilitate the development of therapeutically useful inhibitors of TNF-α release, and they indicate that an important function of adamalysins may be to shed cell-surface proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel Proteolytic Cleavage Involved in Notch Signaling: The Role of the Disintegrin-Metalloprotease TACE

TL;DR: It is shown that an additional processing event occurs in the extracellular part of the receptor, preceding cleavage by the gamma-secretase-like activity, and experiments carried out on TACE-/- bone marrow-derived monocytic precursor cells suggest that this metalloprotease plays a prominent role in the activation of the Notch pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning of the interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme

TL;DR: A complementary DNA encoding a protease that carries out this cleavage has been cloned in this paper, and the gene encoding the protease was mapped to chromosomal band 11q23, a site frequently involved in rearrangement in human cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral inhibition of inflammation. Cowpox virus encodes an inhibitor of the interleukin 1β converting enzyme.

TL;DR: Cowpox virus encodes several cytokine response modifiers that act together to inhibit the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in response to infection, which may contribute significantly to the pathology associated with poxvirus infections.
