Active Metalloproteases of the A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease (ADAM) Family: Biological Function and Structure

Klein, Theo, Bischoff, Rainer·2011·Journal of Proteome Research

Abstract

The "a disintegrin and metalloproteases" (ADAMs) are membrane-anchored metzincins of the adamalysin subfamily. This review gives an overview over the biological function and structure of ADAMs focusing on members of the family that display proteolytic activity. ADAMs are involved in a range of human diseases such as cancer metastasis, inflammatory disorders, neurological disease or asthma. It is, however, often difficult to assign a definitive role to a specific member of the ADAM family in a given disease mechanism due to overlapping activities and redundancy in function, as shown in various knock-out studies. The review discusses the structural domains that are not directly linked to protease activity followed by a more detailed overview over the role of the metalloprotease domain. Different family members are critically reviewed with respect to their role in biological processes with particular emphasis on disease-relevant functions.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Deficiencies in TANGO2 lead to metabolic disorders, and the protein plays an unknown role in Golgi membrane redistribution into the ER.

    “Deficiencies in TANGO2 (transport and Golgi organization protein 2) lead to metabolic disorders, and the protein plays an unknown role in Golgi membrane redistribution into the ER (16, 17).”

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.
