Structural Basis of Extracellular Matrix Interactions with Matrix Metalloproteinases

Abstract

Interactions of the extracellular matrix (ECM) with domains of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) increase their proteolytic action upon matrix components. This occurs by multiple structural means. The activating interactions of a partner protein with pro-MMP-9 and of GAGs with pro-MMP-7 were reported. The interactions of fibrillar proteins with catalytic domains can traverse the breadth of the active site cleft and overflow into a neighboring exosite and perhaps beyond. Exosite interactions bear some resemblance to precedents in thrombin complexes. Basket-shaped surfaces on fibronectin II-like modules (inserted into the catalytic domains of MMP-2 and -9) appear to bind protein fibrils, may bend them, and certainly unwind triple helices. C-terminal hemopexin domains are joined loosely to the catalytic domain, which might facilitate positioning and movement across collagen triple helices. At least the first blade of the β-propeller of the hemopexin domain of MMP-1 seems to interact with the triple helix. Unifying themes among diverse interactions of MMPs with ECM polymers are (1) that two domains of the MMP often participate and (2) that the interaction guides the MMP to the site for proteolytic action.
