Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The multidomain metalloprotease ADAMTS13 regulates the size of von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimers upon their release from endothelial cells. How the different domains in ADAMTS13 control VWF proteolysis in vivo remains largely unidentified. METHODS: Seven C-terminally truncated murine ADAMTS13 (mADAMTS13) mutants were constructed and characterized in vitro. Their ability to cleave VWF strings in...
