Structure of von Willebrand Factor-cleaving Protease (ADAMTS13), a Metalloprotease Involved in Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Abstract: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is associated with acquired or congenital deficiency of a plasma von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (VWFCP). Based on partial amino acid sequence, VWFCP was identified recently as a new member of the ADAMTS family of metalloproteases and designated ADAMTS13. The 4.6-kilobase pair cDNA sequence for VWFCP has now been determined. By Northern blotting, full-length VWFCP mRNA was detected only in liver. VWFCP consists of 1427 amino acid residues and has a signal peptide, a … Show more

“…The ADAMTS13 gene contains 29 exons spanning approximately 37 kb on chromosome 9q34 [6][7][8]. ADAMTS13 encodes a 4.7-kb transcript that is detectable in the liver, and a 2.4-kb transcript detectable in placenta, skeletal muscle, and certain tumor cell lines.…”

“…ADAMTS‐13 is a multi‐domain glycoprotein that proteolyses the A2 domain of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and regulates its hemostatic function 1, 2, 3, 4. Multiple VWF‐binding exosites have been identified across a number of ADAMTS‐13 domains 5, which have informed the development of a so‐called ‘molecular zipper’ model of interaction and proteolysis 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.…”

“…The ADAMTS genes have varying functions, including inhibition of angiogenesis (-TS-1, -TS-8) (Vazquez et al, 1999), cleavage of the matrix proteoglycans aggrecan, versican and brevican (-TS-1, -4, -5, -8 and -15)(AKA the 'aggrecanases') (Matthews et al, 2000;Collins-Racie et al, 2004;Porter et al, 2005), collagen processing (TS-2, -3 and -14) (Colige et al, 1995;Colige et al, 1997;Fernandes et al, 2001;Wang et al, 2004) and blood coagulation homeostasis (TS-13) (Zheng et al, 2001). The ADAMTS proteins are secreted proteases, some of which bind to the extracellular matrix (ECM), unlike the ADAMs proteases that are mostly transmembrane proteins.…”
