Secreted and cell-surface proteases are major mediators of extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover, but their mechanisms and regulatory impact are poorly understood. We developed a mass spectrometry approach using a cell-free ECM produced <i>in vitro</i> to identify fibronectin (FN) as a novel substrate of the secreted metalloprotease ADAMTS16. ADAMTS16 cleaves FN between its (I)<sub>5</sub> and (I)<sub>6</sub> modules, releasing the N-terminal 30 kDa heparin-binding domain essential for FN self-ass ...[more]
