Disulphide bond assignment in human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP).

ABSTRACT: Disulphide bonds in human recombinant tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) were assigned by resolving proteolytic digests of TIMP on reverse-phase h.p.l.c. and sequencing those peaks judged to contain disulphide bonds by virtue of a change in retention time on reduction. This procedure allowed the direct assignment of Cys-145-Cys-166 and the isolation of two other peptides containing two disulphide bonds each. Further peptide cleavage in conjunction with fast-atom-bombardment m.s. analysis permitted the assignments Cys-1-Cys-70, Cys-3-Cys-99, Cys-13-Cys-124 and Cys-127-Cys-174 from these peptides. The sixth bond Cys-132-Cys-137 was assigned by inference, as the native protein has no detectable free thiol groups.

Large inhibitor of metalloproteinases (LIMP) contains tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-2 bound to 72,000-M(r) progelatinase.

Project description:Connective-tissue cells in culture produce a family of metalloproteinases which, once activated, can degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix. These potent enzymes are all inhibited by the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP), and it was thought that this inhibitor was solely responsible for the inhibition of these enzymes within connective tissue. However, other inhibitors have recently been described, including large inhibitor of metalloproteinases (LIMP) present in the culture medium of human foetal lung fibroblasts. Here we show that a large proportion of the inhibitory activity of LIMP consists of 72,000-M(r)-progelatinase bound to TIMP-2, a recently discovered low-M(r) metalloproteinase inhibitor closely related to TIMP. The physiological implications of the secretion of a complex of 72,000-M(r) progelatinase and TIMP-2 are discussed, and the separation of the complex in 6 M-urea is described.

Dissociation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) from enzyme complexes yields fully active inhibitor.

Project description:Recombinant human tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP) forms complexes with high-Mr active recombinant stromelysin that are stable over long periods under physiological conditions. TIMP-stromelysin complexes could be dissociated in the presence of EDTA at pH 3, releasing free TIMP and destroying stromelysin activity. The dissociated TIMP was apparently unmodified, in contrast with other known protein inhibitors of metalloproteinases and many classes of serine-proteinase inhibitor, which are slowly cleaved.

Mapping and characterization of the functional epitopes of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-3 using TIMP-1 as the scaffold: a new frontier in TIMP engineering.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM-17) is responsible for the release of TNF-alpha, a potent proinflammatory cytokine associated with many chronic debilitating diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Among the four variants of mammalian tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1 to -4), TACE is specifically inhibited by TIMP-3. We set out to delineate the basis for this specificity by examining the solvent accessibility of every epitope on the surface of a model of the truncated N-terminal domain form of TIMP-3 (N-TIMP-3) in a hypothetical complex with the crystal structure of TACE. The epitopes suspected of interacting with TACE were systematically transplanted onto N-TIMP-1. We succeeded in transforming N-TIMP-1 into an active inhibitor for TACE (K(i)(app) 15 nM) with the incorporation of Ser4, Leu67, Arg84, and the TIMP-3 AB-loop. The combined effects of these epitopes are additive. Unexpectedly, introduction of "super-N-TIMP-3" epitopes, defined in our previous work, only impaired the affinity of N-TIMP-1 for TACE. Our mutagenesis results indicate that TIMP-3-TACE interaction is a delicate process that requires highly refined surface topography and flexibility from both parties. Most importantly, our findings confirm that the individual characteristics of TIMP could be transplanted from one variant to another.

Characterization of the functional domain of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2).

Project description:Analysis of the functional domain of tissue inhibitor of metallo-proteinases-2 (TIMP-2) was performed using limited proteolytic degradation with trypsin. This treatment generated a 13.5 kDa fragment which was purified and shown to consist of an uncleaved N-terminal region extending from residue 1 to residue 132. The fragment retains the ability to inhibit activated interstitial collagenase and to block the autocatalytic activation of procollagenase.

Identification of invariant chain CD74 as a functional receptor of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1).

Project description:Multifunctionality of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) comprising antiproteolytic as well as cytokinic activity has been attributed to its N-terminal and C-terminal domains, respectively. The molecular basis of the emerging proinflammatory cytokinic activity of TIMP-1 is still not completely understood. The cytokine receptor invariant chain (CD74) is involved in many inflammation-associated diseases and is highly expressed by immune cells. CD74 triggers zeta chain-associated protein kinase-70 (ZAP-70) signaling-associated activation upon interaction with its only known ligand, the macrophage migration inhibitory factor. Here, we demonstrate TIMP-1-CD74 interaction by coimmunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy in cells engineered to overexpress CD74. In silico docking in HADDOCK predicted regions of the N-terminal domain of TIMP-1 (N-TIMP-1) to interact with CD74. This was experimentally confirmed by confocal microscopy demonstrating that recombinant N-TIMP-1 lacking the entire C-terminal domain was sufficient to bind CD74. Interaction of TIMP-1 with endogenously expressed CD74 was demonstrated in the Namalwa B lymphoma cell line by dot blot binding assays as well as confocal microscopy. Functionally, we demonstrated that TIMP-1-CD74 interaction triggered intracellular ZAP-70 activation. N-TIMP-1 was sufficient to induce ZAP-70 activation and interference with the cytokine-binding site of CD74 using a synthetic peptide-abrogated TIMP-1-mediated ZAP-70 activation. Altogether, we here identified CD74 as a receptor and mediator of cytokinic TIMP-1 activity and revealed TIMP-1 as moonlighting protein harboring both cytokinic and antiproteolytic activity within its N-terminal domain. Recognition of this functional TIMP-1-CD74 interaction may shed new light on clinical attempts to therapeutically target ligand-induced CD74 activity in cancer and other inflammatory diseases.

Disulphide bond inhibitors in 2 cancer cell lines

Project description:To elucidate which ER cargo maturation processes may be oxygen dependent, we first reasoned that the transcriptional response may be tailored specifically to counteract the mechanism of the imposed stress. Therefore, we compared the transcriptional regulation of the ERome during anoxic conditions to ER stress caused by lack of glycosylation (tunicamycin) or chaperone inactivation by calcium depletion (thapsigargin) In two cancer cell lines (colon carcinoma HCT116, and hepatocellular carcinoma Hep G2) cells were given one of 4 treatments. 24 hours of 0.0% O2 (Anoxia), 1.5 µg/ml tunicamycin or 0.3 µM thapsigargin with a control 21% O2 (Normoxia). Cells were exposed to hypoxia and anoxia in H35 and H85 HypOxystations (Don Whitley Scientific). 3 biological replicates of each experiment were carried out. Total of 24 samples.

Engineering of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases TIMP-1 for fine discrimination between closely related stromelysins MMP-3 and MMP-10.

Project description:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have long been known as key drivers in the development and progression of diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and many other inflammatory and degenerative diseases, making them attractive potential drug targets. Engineering selective inhibitors based upon tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), endogenous human proteins that tightly yet nonspecifically bind to the family of MMPs, represents a promising new avenue for therapeutic development. Here, we used a counter-selective screening strategy for directed evolution of yeast-displayed human TIMP-1 to obtain TIMP-1 variants highly selective for the inhibition of MMP-3 in preference over MMP-10. As MMP-3 and MMP-10 are the most similar MMPs in sequence, structure, and function, our results thus clearly demonstrate the capability for engineering full-length TIMP proteins to be highly selective MMP inhibitors. We show using protein crystal structures and models of MMP-3-selective TIMP-1 variants bound to MMP-3 and counter-target MMP-10 how structural alterations within the N-terminal and C-terminal TIMP-1 domains create new favorable and selective interactions with MMP-3 and disrupt unique interactions with MMP-10. While our MMP-3-selective inhibitors may be of interest for future investigation in diseases where this enzyme drives pathology, our platform and screening strategy can be employed for developing selective inhibitors of additional MMPs implicated as therapeutic targets in disease.

PEGylation extends circulation half-life while preserving in vitro and in vivo activity of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1).

Project description:Excess proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) contributes to the development of arthritis, cardiovascular diseases and cancer progression, implicating these enzymes as therapeutic targets. While many small molecule inhibitors of MMPs have been developed, clinical uses have been limited, in part by toxicity and off-target effects. Development of the endogenous tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) as recombinant biopharmaceuticals represents an alternative therapeutic approach; however, the short plasma half-life of recombinant TIMPs has restricted their potential in this arena. To overcome this limitation, we have modified recombinant human TIMP-1 (rhTIMP-1) by PEGylation on lysine residues. We analyzed a mixture of mono- and di-PEGylated rhTIMP-1 species modified by attachment of 20 kDa mPEG chains (PEG(20K)-TIMP-1), as confirmed by SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry. This preparation retained complete inhibitory activity toward the MMP-3 catalytic domain and partial inhibitory activity toward full length MMP-9. Pharmacokinetic evaluation showed that PEGylation extended the plasma half-life of rhTIMP-1 in mice from 1.1 h to 28 h. In biological assays, PEG(20K)-TIMP-1 inhibited both MMP-dependent cancer cell invasion and tumor cell associated gelatinase activity. Overall these results suggest that PEGylated TIMP-1 exhibits improved potential for development as an anti-cancer recombinant protein therapeutic, and additionally may offer potential for clinical applications in the treatment of other diseases.

Phage display of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2): identification of selective inhibitors of collagenase-1 (metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1)).

Project description:Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) is a broad spectrum inhibitor of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which function in extracellular matrix catabolism. Here, phage display was used to identify variants of human TIMP-2 that are selective inhibitors of human MMP-1, a collagenase whose unregulated action is linked to cancer, arthritis, and fibrosis. Using hard randomization of residues 2, 4, 5, and 6 (L1) and soft randomization of residues 34-40 (L2) and 67-70 (L3), a library was generated containing 2 × 10(10) variants of TIMP-2. Five clones were isolated after five rounds of selection with MMP-1, using MMP-3 as a competitor. The enriched phages selectively bound MMP-1 relative to MMP-3 and contained mutations only in L1. The most selective variant (TM8) was used to generate a second library in which residues Cys(1)-Gln(9) were soft-randomized. Four additional clones, selected from this library, showed a similar affinity for MMP-1 as wild-type TIMP-2 but reduced affinity for MMP-3. Variants of the N-terminal domain of TIMP-2 (N-TIMP-2) with the sequences of the most selective clones were expressed and characterized for inhibitory activity against eight MMPs. All were effective inhibitors of MMP-1 with nanomolar K(i) values, but TM8, containing Ser(2) to Asp and Ser(4) to Ala substitutions, was the most selective having a nanomolar K(i) value for MMP-1 but no detectable inhibitory activity toward MMP-3 and MMP-14 up to 10 μM. This study suggests that phage display and selection with other MMPs may be an effective method for discovering tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase variants that discriminate between specified MMPs as targets.
