matrix metalloproteinase-9 (matrixin-9, 92 kD gelatinase, gelatinase-B, MMP9, CLG4B)
Function:
1) role in local proteolysis of the extracellular matrix & in leukocyte migration
2) monomer, disulfide-linked homodimer, & heterodimer with a 25 kD protein
3) substrates:
a) collagen-4 & collagen-5
b) gelatin types 1 & 5
c) elastin
d) laminin
e) pro-TNF-alpha
f) amyloid A4 peptide
g) TGF-beta
4) inhibited by histatin-3 1/24 (histatin-5)
5) processing of the precursor yields different active forms of 64, 67 & 82 kD
6) sequentially processing by MMP3 yields the 82 kD matrix metalloproteinase-9
7) S-nitrosylation activated MMP9 in vitro & induced neuronal apoptosis [5]
Cofactor:
- binds 2 Zn+2 per subunit
- binds 3 Ca+2 per subunit
Compartment: extracellular matrix
Expression:
- alveolar macrophages; macrophages & transformed cell lines produce only the monomeric form
- granulocytes
- activated by 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate & phorbol ester
Pathology:
- polymorphism in promoter region of gene associated with severity of atherosclerosis in patients with coronary artery disease & possibly development of pulmonary emphysema in smokers
- elevated in stroke
- elevated in CSF in multiple sclerosis
- elevated levels in synovial fluid of arthritis patients
a) may contribute to the pathogenesis of joint destruction
b) may be useful marker of disease status
- elevated in asthma
Laboratory:
- matrix metallopeptidase 9 in serum
- matrix metallopeptidase 9 in blood
