Identification and characterization of Lutheran blood group glycoprotein as a new substrate of membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP): a systemic whole cell analysis of MT1-MMP-associating proteins in A431 cells.

ABSTRACT: Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MT1-MMP) is a potent modulator of the pericellular microenvironment and regulates cellular functions in physiological and pathological settings in mammals. MT1-MMP mediates its biological effects through cleavage of specific substrate proteins. However, our knowledge of MT1-MMP substrates remains limited. To identify new substrates of MT1-MMP, we purified proteins associating with MT1-MMP in human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells and analyzed them by mass spectrometry. We identified 163 proteins, including membrane proteins, cytoplasmic proteins, and functionally unknown proteins. Sixty-four membrane proteins were identified, and they included known MT1-MMP substrates. Of these, eighteen membrane proteins were selected, and we confirmed their association with MT1-MMP using an immunoprecipitation assay. Co-expression of each protein together with MT1-MMP revealed that nine proteins were cleaved by MT1-MMP. Lutheran blood group glycoprotein (Lu) is one of the proteins cleaved by MT1-MMP, and we confirmed the cleavage of the endogenous Lu protein by endogenous MT1-MMP in A431 cells. Mutation of the cleavage site of Lu abrogated processing by MT1-MMP. Lu protein expressed in A431 cells bound to laminin-511, and knockdown of MT1-MMP in these cells increased both their binding to laminin-511 and the amount of Lu protein on the cell surface. Thus, the identified membrane proteins associated with MT1-MMP are an enriched source of physiological MT1-MMP substrates.

Project description:The recent detection of membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) expression in human articular cartilage [Büttner, Chubinskaya, Margerie, Huch, Flechtenmacher, Cole, Kuettner, and Bartnik (1997) Arthritis Rheum. 40, 704-709] prompted our investigation of MT1-MMP's catabolic activity within the interglobular domain of aggrecan. For these studies we used rAgg1mut, a mutated form of the recombinant fusion protein (rAgg1) that has been used as a substrate to monitor 'aggrecanase' catabolism in vitro [Hughes, Büttner, Eidenmüller, Caterson and Bartnik (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 20269-20274]. The rAgg1 was mutated (G332 to A) to avoid the generation of a splice variant seen with the original genetic construct, which gave rise to heterogeneous glycoprotein products. This mutation yielded a homogeneous recombinant product. Studies in vitro with retinoic acid-stimulated rat chondrosarcoma cells indicated that the rAgg1mut substrate was cleaved at the 'aggrecanase' site equivalent to Glu373-Ala374 (human aggrecan sequence enumeration) in its interglobular domain sequence segment. The differential catabolic activities of the recombinant catalytic domain (cd) of MT1-MMP and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 3 and 8 were then compared by using this rAgg1mut as a substrate. Coomassie staining of rAgg1mut catabolites separated by SDS/PAGE showed similar patterns of degradation with all three recombinant enzymes. However, comparative immunodetection analysis, with neoepitope antibodies BC-3 (anti-ARGS...) and BC-14 (anti-FFGV...) to distinguish between 'aggrecanase' and MMP-generated catabolites, indicated that the catalytic domain of MT1-MMP exhibited strong 'aggrecanase' activity, cdMMP-8 weak activity and cdMMP-3 no activity. In contrast, cdMMP-3 and cdMMP-8 led to strongly BC-14-reactive catabolic fragments, whereas cdMT1-MMP resulted in weak BC-14 reactivity. N-terminal sequence analyses of the catabolites confirmed these results and also identified other potential minor cleavage sites within the interglobular domain of aggrecan. These results indicate that MT1-MMP is yet another candidate for 'aggrecanase' activity in vivo.
