Abstract

Products generated by the digestion of human aggrecan with recombinant human stromelysin have been purified and analyzed by N-terminal sequencing and C-terminal peptide isolation. N-terminal analysis of chondroitin sulfate-bearing fragments revealed a clearly identifiable sequence initiating at residue Phe342 of human aggrecan, providing evidence for a cleavage site at the Asn341-Phe342 bond located within the interglobular domain. This cleavage site, which separates the G1 domain from the remainder of the molecule, was confirmed by isolation from the liberated G1 domain of a C-terminal tryptic peptide with the sequence YDAICYTGEDFVDIPEN (in which the C-terminal residue is Asn341). This peptide was also isolated from tryptic digests of hyaluronan-binding proteins (A1D4 samples) prepared by CsCl gradient centrifugation of extracts of mature human articular cartilages. Since these A1D4 samples contain G1 domain which accumulates as a result of aggrecan catabolism in vivo, these results clearly indicate that stromelysin cleaves the Asn341-Phe342 bond of human aggrecan in situ.

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.
