Pregnancy‐associated plasma protein‐A (PAPP‐A) cleaves insulin‐like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)‐5 independent of IGF: implications for the mechanism of IGFBP‐4 proteolysis by PAPP‐A
Open accessAbstract
Pregnancy‐associated plasma protein‐A (PAPP‐A) has recently been identified as the proteinase responsible for cleavage of insulin‐like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)‐4, an inhibitor of IGF action, in several biological fluids. Cleavage of IGFBP‐4 by PAPP‐A is believed to occur only in the presence of IGF. We here report that in addition to IGFBP‐4, PAPP‐A also cleaves IGFBP‐5. Cleavage occurs at one site, between Ser‐143 and Lys‐144 of IGFBP‐5. In the presence of IGF, IGFBP‐4 and ‐5 are cleaved with similar rates by PAPP‐A. Interestingly, cleavage of IGFBP‐5 by PAPP‐A does not require the presence of IGF, but is slightly inhibited by IGF. These findings have implications for the mechanism of proteolysis of IGFBP‐4 by PAPP‐A, suggesting that IGFBP‐4 binds IGF, which then becomes a PAPP‐A substrate. Using highly purified, recombinant proteins, we establish that (1) PAPP‐A cleavage of IGFBP‐4 can occur in the absence of IGF, although the rate of hydrolysis is very slow, and (2) IGF is unable to bind to PAPP‐A. We thus conclude that IGF enhances proteolysis by binding to IGFBP‐4, not by interaction with PAPP‐A, which could not previously be ruled out.

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.
