Abstract

Degradation of the large cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan in arthritis involves an unidentified enzyme aggrecanase, and at least one of the matrix metalloproteinases. Proteinase‐sensitive cleavage sites in the aggrecan interglobular domain (IGD) have been identified for many of the human MMPs, as well as for aggrecanase and other proteinases. The major MMP expressed by chondrocytes stimulated with retinoic acid to degrade their matrix is collagenase‐3 or MMP‐13. Because of its potential role in aggrecan degradation we examined the specificity of MMP‐13 for an aggrecan substrate. The results show that MMP‐13 cleaves aggrecan in the IGD at the same site (..PEN 341‐FFG..) identified for other members of the MMP family, and also at a novel site ..VKP 384‐VFE.. not previously observed for other proteinases.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
