A metalloprotease-disintegrin participating in myoblast fusion
Nature, 1995Skeletal muscle development involves the formation of multi-nucleated myotubes. This is thought to proceed by the induction of differentiation (acquisition of fusion competence) of myoblast cells, their aggregation, and union of their plasma membranes.

Disintegrin is a potent platelet aggregation inhibitor isolated from various snake venoms. The cDNA of the snake venom disintegrin family precursor is well-known to encode pre-peptide, metalloprotease, spacer, and disintegrin domains. Recently, new types of disintegrins, dimeric disintegrins, have been isolated, and their amino acid sequences were ...

The continuing saga of snake venom disintegrins
Toxicon, 2013Disintegrins, a family of polypeptides released in the venoms of viperid snakes (vipers and rattlesnakes) by the proteolytic processing of multidomain metalloproteinases, selectively block the function of β(1) and β(3) integrin receptors. Few of the proteins isolated and characterized from snake venoms have proven to be more structural and functional ...

The homodimeric disintegrin contortrostatin was compared directly to the monomeric disintegrins echistatin and flavoridin for the ability to affect protein tyrosine phosphorylation in tumor cells. It was observed that contortrostatin had a dramatic effect on the tyrosine phosphorylation status of several proteins in T24 human bladder cancer cells ...

Inhibition of tumor formation by snake venom disintegrin
Toxicon, 2005The metastasis of tumor cells to bone involves migration, invasion and adhesion to bone. Breast and prostate cancer cells have predilection for spreading to bone. Snake venom-derived arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-containing disintegrins (e.g. rhodostomin) have been demonstrated to inhibit cell adhesion.

A team player: the disintegrin domain of ADAMTS13
Blood, 2009In this issue of Blood, de Groot and colleagues identify novel interactions between the disintegrin domain of ADAMTS13 and the A2 domain of VWF. This provides another piece in the puzzle of how this domain of ADAMTS13 works in concert with other domains to bind and process VWF.

Regulation of the proteolytic disintegrin metalloproteinases, the ‘Sheddases’
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2009The proteolytically functional ADAMs, of which there are 13 in the human, play key roles in the way that many different types of cells respond to their environment. They act as 'signalling scissors' within various membrane environments, including at the cell surface, orchestrating rapid changes in the status of their transmembrane protein substrates ...
