“…Their molecular weights vary from 30 to 150 kDa. These enzymes have been widely studied from various mammalian tissues (Sellers and Murphy, 1981;Harris and Vater, 1982), as well as from bacteria (Bond and Van Wart, 1984;Matsuhita et al, 1994) and snake venom (Bjarnason and Fox, 1994).…”

“…Metallo-collagenases, first discovered in tadpole tissue explants (Gross and Lapiere, 1962), are zinc-containing enzymes that also generally require calcium for their optimum activity and stability, and cleave the collagen helix at a specific locus under physiological conditions (Gawston and Murphy, 1981;Harris and Vater, 1982;Sellers and Murphy, 1981;Stricklin et al, 1977). These enzymes have been widely studied from various mammalian tissues (Harris and Vater, 1982;Sellers and Murphy, 1981) as well as from bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus (Makinen and Makinen, 1987), Clostridium histolyticum (Bond and Van Wart, 1984a, b;Peterkofsky, 1982), Achromobacter (Nguyen et al, 1988), Vibrio alginolyticus (Takeuchi et al, 1992) and Clostridium perfringens (Matsuhita et al, 1994), and snake venom (Bjarnason and Fox, 1994). These metallo-collagenases, extracellular enzymes, are involved in remodeling the extracellular matrix.…”

“…These enzymes are usually found in a latent form and require activation before they can digest their substrates. Collagenase, the most widely studied mammalian metalloproteinase, can be activated by trypsin, mercurials aid chaotropic ions (Sellers & Murphy, 1981), but the processes by which activation is achieved in,vivo are unclear. A specific metalloproteinase inhibitor (TIMP) is found in the culture media of many tis$ues , and in the case of rabbit bone medium it was reported to combine with crude mercurial-activated collagenase to form a complex of similar size to latent collagenase .…”
