Bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1)/tolloid proteinases are fundamental to regulating dorsal ventral patterning and extracellular matrix deposition. In mammals there are four proteinases, the splice variants BMP-1 and mammalian tolloid (mTLD), and tolloid like-1 and -2 (TLL-1/2). BMP-1 has the highest catalytic activity and lacks three non-catalytic domains. We demonstrate that TLL-1, which has intermediate activity, forms a calcium-ion dependent dimer with monomers stacked side-by-side. In con ...[more]
