Article Title: | Catalytic properties of ADAM19 |
Abstract: | ADAMs are membrane-anchored glycoproteins with functions in fertilization, heart development, neurogenesis, and protein ectodomain shedding. Here we report an evaluation of the catalytic activity of recombinantly expressed soluble forms of ADAM19, a protein that is essential for cardiovascular morphogenesis. Proteolytic activity of soluble forms of ADAM19 was first demonstrated by their autocatalytic removal of a purification tag (Myc-His) and their ability to cleave myelin basic protein and the insulin B chain. The metalloprotease activity of ADAM19 is sensitive to the hydroxamic acid-type metalloprotease inhibitor BB94 (batimastat) but not to tissue inhibitors of metalloproteases (TIMPs) 1-3. Moreover, ADAM19 cleaves peptides corresponding to the known cleavage sites of tumor necrosis factor-(TNF-α), TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE, also referred to as osteoprotegerin ligand), and kit ligand-1 (KL-1) in vitro. Although ADAM19 is not required for shedding of TNFα and TRANCE in mouse embryonic fibroblasts, its overexpression in COS-7 cells results in strongly increased TRANCE shedding. This suggests a potential role for ADAM19 in shedding TRANCE in cells where both molecules are highly expressed, such as in osteoblasts. Interestingly, our results also indicate that ADAM19 can function as a negative regulator of KL-1 shedding in both COS-7 cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts, instead of acting directly on KL-1. The identification of potential in vitro substrates offers the basis for further functional studies of ADAM19 in cells and in mice. |
