The Heparin Binding Domain of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP)-3 Increases Susceptibility of IGFBP-3 to Proteolysis

Abstract: IGFBP-3 proteolysis clears IGFBP-3 from body fluids and increases IGF bioavailability. As shown here, native human IGFBP-3 was cleaved by proteases in media conditioned by hamster and insect cells. This proteolysis was less pronounced for IGFBP-3 containing a mutated heparin binding domain, and was prevented by purifying IGFBP-3 on an IGF-I affinity column in the presence of 2 M sodium chloride, suggesting that the responsible protease(s) binds the IGFBP-3 heparin binding domain. To determine if any human prot… Show more

“…The simultaneous loss of ELISA reactivity to anti-IGFBP-3 sera during this process may reflect enhanced proteolytic degradation in the new conformation. Proteolytic degradation of IGFBP-3 is influenced by the presence of high salt, heparin, and other agents, which suggests a conformation-dependent susceptibility to proteolysis (9). The exquisite specificity of action exhibited by ferrous (versus ferric) ions on IGFBP-3 suggests a possible physiological role for IGFBP-3 in oxidative metabolism.…”

“…-2 antiplasmin complexing with plasmin) or by the association of IGFBP-3 with a distinct inhibitor, or whether IGFBP-3 is conformationally protected from proteolysis is under investigation. It is increasingly evident that IGFBP-3 is able to associate with molecules outside the IGF system (Campbell et al 1998), and this may regulate IGFBP-3 protection from, or susceptibility to, proteolysis (Durham et al 1999). Inhibition of IGFBP-3 proteolysis by 150 kDa column fractions from RASynF and normal adult serum could suggest that there is an inhibitor that is associated with the IGFBP-3 in the 150 kDa complex.…”

“…Their data suggest that the accessibility of the C-terminal basic heparin-binding domain of IGFBP-3 is necessary for proteolysis or for binding of an inhibitor. Plasminogen, prekallikrein, or transferrin, all co-purified with IGFBP-3, might be candidates to bind to the C-terminal basic domain (13,16,22) and protect IGFBP-3 from proteolysis. It is not known whether the IGFBP protease binds to the IGF-II affinity matrix through its interaction with IGFBP-3, IGFBP-associating proteins, or inhibitor complexes.…”
