Snake venom metalloproteinases and disintegrins: interactions with cells

Abstract: Metalloproteinases and disintegrins are important components of most viperid and crotalid venoms. Large metalloproteinases referred to as MDC enzymes are composed of an N-terminal Metalloproteinase domain, a Disintegrin-like domain and a Cys-rich C-terminus. In contrast, disintegrins are small non-enzymatic RGD-containing cysteine-rich polypeptides. However, the disintegrin region of MDC enzymes bears a high degree of structural homology to that of the disintegrins, although it lacks the RGD motif. Despite the… Show more

“…Total RNA from Karpas 299 cells was extracted with Trizol reagent (Life Technologies, Karlsruhe, Germany), digested with RNase-free DNase I (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), and cDNA synthesis was performed using a SuperScript Preamplification System and oligo(dT) [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] primers (Life Technologies). For an amplification of the cDNA fragment encoding the catalytic, disintegrin, and cysteine-rich domain of TACE, total cDNA was subjected to 30 cycles of PCR using proofreading polymerase (Elongase Enzyme mix; Life Technologies).…”

“…Due to their x-ray crystal structure, metalloproteinase-disintegrins are closely related to snake venom metalloproteinases (reprolysins) and are therefore regarded as members of the reprolysin family of metalloproteinases (13). Both snake venom proteinases and metalloproteinase-disintegrins exhibit membrane protein sheddase activity through their catalytic domain (11,12,14) and binding to cellular disintegrin receptors mediated by the disintegrin domain (15)(16)(17). Besides pro-TNF-␣, TACE cleaves the amyloid precursor protein (18) and mediates the shedding of L-selectin, the p75 TNFR, and TGF-␣ (16).…”

“…These domains are involved in binding to integrins, the heterodimeric cell surface receptors involved not only in the interactions of cells with the surrounding matrix but also with neighboring cells (3). Most of the known ADAMs contain the integrin-binding amino acid sequence RGD (4) or instead ECD or DCD, which can compete with integrin-ligand interactions (4,5). ADAM-2 and ADAM-9 bind to -2 integrin through their disintegrin-like sequence ECD (6 -8), whereas ADAM-15 can interact with integrins on adjacent cells as observed with ␣␤3 and ␣5␤1 integrins on hematopoietic cells (9).…”
