The Role of Membrane-Type 1 Matrix Metalloproteinase-Substrate Interactions in Pathogenesis.


ABSTRACT: A protease is an enzyme with a proteolytic activity that facilitates the digestion of its substrates. Membrane-type I matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), a member of the broader matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) family, is involved in the regulation of diverse cellular activities. MT1-MMP is a very well-known enzyme as an activator of pro-MMP-2 and two collagenases, MMP-8 and MMP-13, all of which are essential for cell migration. As an anchored membrane enzyme, MT1-MMP has the ability to interact with a diverse group of molecules, including proteins that are not part of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Therefore, MT1-MMP can regulate various cellular activities not only by changing the extra-cellular environment but also by regulating cell signaling. The presence of both intracellular and extra-cellular portions of MT1-MMP can allow it to interact with proteins on both sides of the cell membrane. Here, we reviewed the MT1-MMP substrates involved in disease pathogenesis.
