Abstract excerpt
The propeptide domain of secreted matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is responsible for maintaining the latency of these proteinases. Recently, the propeptide domain of the prototype membrane type matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) was demonstrated to act as an intramolecular chaperone (Cao, J., Hymowitz, M., Conner, C., Bahou, W. F., and Zucker, S. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 29648-29653). In the current study, the...
