ADAMTS-9 in Mouse Cartilage Has Aggrecanase Activity That Is Distinct from ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-4 and ADAMTS-5 are the principal aggrecanases in mice and humans; however, mice lacking the catalytic domain of both enzymes (TS-4/5∆cat) have no skeletal phenotype, suggesting there is an alternative aggrecanase for modulating normal growth and development in these mice.

ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5: Key enzymes in osteoarthritis

Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, 2011
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive disease of the joints characterized by degradation of articular cartilage. Although disease initiation may be multi-factorial, the cartilage destruction appears to be a result of uncontrolled proteolytic extracellular matrix destruction.

Insights on ADAMTS proteases and ADAMTS-like proteins from mammalian genetics

open access: yesMatrix Biology, 2015
The mammalian ADAMTS superfamily comprises 19 secreted metalloproteinases and 7 ADAMTS-like proteins, each the product of a distinct gene. Thus far, all appear to be relevant to extracellular matrix function or to cell-matrix interactions. Most ADAMTS functions first emerged from analysis of spontaneous human and animal mutations and genetically ...

ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5

2006
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by articular cartilage erosion as a consequence of proteolytic cleavage of its two major functional macromolecules, type II collagen and aggrecan. Aggrecan degradation in OA and rheumatoid arthritis is attributed to cleavage at the Glu373-Ala374 bond by the aggrecanases.

Negative effects of ADAMTS‐7 and ADAMTS‐12 on endplate cartilage differentiation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, 2012
AbstractThe roles of ADAMTS‐7 and ADAMTS‐12 in disc degeneration have not been previously examined. The purpose of this study was to examine the expression of ADAMTS‐7 and ADAMTS‐12 in the endplate cells isolated from patients with degenerative disc disease and to see whether they are associated with the pathological change of endplate.

Overview of ADAMTS Proteinases and ADAMTS 2

2006
Dermatosparaxis and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC (EDS VIIC) are recessive, heritable disorders of domestic animals and humans, respectively. These phenotypes are primarily characterized by extreme fragility of the skin, and are marked by accumulation in skin of processing intermediates in the conversion of procollagen precursors into mature type I ...

Advances in ADAMTS biomarkers

2022
A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) are major mediators in extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and have gained increasing interest over the last years as major players in ECM remodeling during tissue homeostasis and the development of diseases. Although, ADAMTSs are recognized in playing important roles during tissue

Differential gene expression of ADAMTS-1, ADAMTS-9 and TIMP-3 in periodontitis

Biotechnic & Histochemistry, 2022
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) are metalloproteinases that bind to components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to regulate tissue remodeling and homeostasis. ADAMTS can be inhibited by tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). Expression of ADAMTS increases under inflammatory conditions.

Assays of ADAMTS-13 activity

Seminars in Hematology, 2004
Various assays for determination of ADAMTS-13 activity in plasma have been developed, all comprising two steps. The first step consists of proteolyzing a substrate by ADAMTS-13. Substrates were either exogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF) (purified from human plasma concentrates or recombinant VWF [rVWF]), purified VWF fragments, or endogenous VWF ...
