Metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 1998
Because the proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix is required for invasion and metastasis, it would appear that the important family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs) might be prognostic indicators of the invasive potential of a breast tumor.

Handling Metalloproteinases

Current Protocols in Protein Science, 2016
AbstractSubstrate cleavage by metalloproteinases involves nucleophilic attack on the scissile peptide bond by a water molecule that is polarized by a catalytic metal, usually a zinc ion, and a general base, usually the carboxyl group of a glutamic acid side chain.

Matrix Metalloproteinases

Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2003
AbstractMatrix metalloproteinases are a class of enzymes that play an important role in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in development and cancer metastasis. This unit describes a set of methods‐cell‐mediated dissolution of type I collagen fibrils, direct and reverse zymography, enzyme capture based on a‐2 macroglubulin and TIMP‐1 and ‐2 ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases

Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2008
AbstractMatrix metalloproteinases are a class of enzymes that play an important role in the remodeling of the extracellular matrix in development and cancer metastasis. This unit describes a set of methods—cell‐mediated dissolution of type‐1 collagen fibrils, direct and reverse zymography, enzyme capture based on α2‐macroglobulin and TIMP‐1 and ‐2, and

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases and metalloproteinases in atherosclerosis

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1998
The ability of the metalloproteinases to degrade extracellular matrix proteins is essential for the matrix remodelling that occurs during infiltration of inflammatory cells, intimal thickening, angiogenesis and plaque rupture which are a result of atherosclerosis.

Matrix metalloproteinases

Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 1998
Matrix metalloproteinases are a family of highly regulated peptidases that are collectively responsible for the degradation of extracellular matrix during tissue remodeling. Dysregulated activity has long been implicated in the pathologies of cancer and arthritis, and the number of diseases more recently associated with these enzymes has been ...

Agavain: A metalloproteinase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology and Biological Oxidation, 1965
Summary 1. Crystalline agavain has been shown to be inhibited by metal binding agents and DFP, but not by sulfhydryl reagents. 2. The activity of agavain is sensitive to the nature of the buffer solution used in the assay medium, this inhibitory effect being a function of the buffer anions. 3.
