ADAMTS9, a member of the ADAMTS family, in Xenopus development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling by metalloproteinases is crucial during development. The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin type I motifs) enzymes are secreted, multi-domain matrix-associated zinc metalloendopeptidases ...

Gelatinases, Neurofilaments and N-Acetyl aspartic Acid as Biomarkers in Different Pathologies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) are zinc and calcium dependent endopeptidases that degrade several components of the extracellular matrix.The role of gelatinases in inflammation seems to be opposite.

Molecular characterization of a family of metalloendopeptidases from the intestinal brush border of Haemonchus contortus

open access: yes
Substantial protection against the economically important parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus has been achieved by immunizing sheep with a glycoprotein fraction isolated from the intestinal membranes of the worm (H-gal-GP).

Characterisation of components and mechanisms involved in redox-regulation of protein import into chloroplasts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The vast majority of chloroplast proteins is encoded in the nucleus and thus has to be posttranslationally imported into the organelle, a process that is facilitated by two multimeric protein machineries, the Toc and Tic complexes (translocon at the ...

Structure of astacin and the discovery of metzincins

open access: yes
The X-ray crystal structure of astacin from the freshwater crayfish Astacus astacus published in 1992 was the second structural prototype of a zinc metalloendopeptidase solved after thermolysin from

Influence of cofactor change on the biochemical characteristics of a metalloendopeptidase isolated from Trametes coccinea (Tc-LysN) and expressed in Pichia pastoris

open access: yes
Metalloendopeptidases belong to a class of enzymes that digest proteins dependently on a divalent metal ion as a cofactor, which is usually zinc. Metalloendopeptidases can be specific for the N-terminus or C-terminus of different amino acids.
