Matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in connective tissue remodeling

Open access
Woessner, J. Frederick·1991·The FASEB Journal

Abstract

Matrix metalloproteinases are an important group of zinc enzymes responsible for degradation of the extracellular matrix components such as collagen and proteoglycans in normal embryogenesis and remodeling and in many disease processes such as arthritis, cancer, periodontitis, and osteoporosis. A matrixin family is defined, comprising at least seven members that range in size from M r 28000 to 92000 and are related in gene sequence to collagenase. All family members are secreted as zymogens that lose peptides of about 10,000 daltons upon activition. Latency is due to a conserved cysteine that binds to zinc at the active center. Latency is overcome by physical (chaotropic agents), chemical (HOCl, mercurials), and enzymatic (trypsin, plasmin) treatments that separate the cysteine residue from the zinc Expression of the metalloproteinases is switched on by a variety of agents acting through regulatory elements of the gene, particularly the AP‐1 binding site. A family of protein inhibitors of M r 28,500 or less binds strongly and stoichiometrically in noncovalent fashion to inhibit members of the family. The serum protein α 2 ‐macroglobulin and relatives are also strongly inhibitory.—Woessner, J. F., Jr. Matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors in connective tissue remodeling.

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.
