Abstract excerpt
The formation of multimeric complexes by membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) may facilitate its autocatalytic inactivation or proMMP-2 activation on the cell surface. To characterize these processes, we expressed various glutathione S-transferase/MT1-MMP fusion proteins in human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells and SV40-transformed lung fibroblasts and analyzed their effects on MT1-MMP activity and...
