Title : A disintegrin-like and metalloprotease
domain containing
thrombospondin type 1 motif-like
5 (ADAMTSL5 ) is a novel
fibrillin-1-,
fibrillin-2-, and heparin-binding member of the
ADAMTS superfamily containing a netrin-like module
Abstract :
- ADAMTS-like proteins are related to ADAMTS metalloproteases by their similarity to ADAMTS ancillary domains
- Here, we have characterized ADAMTSL5 , a novel member of the superfamily with a unique modular organization that includes a single C-terminal netrin-like (NTR) module
- Alternative splicing of ADAMTSL5 at its 5' end generates two transcripts that encode different signal peptides , but the same mature protein
- These transcripts differ in their translational efficiency
- Recombinant ADAMTSL5 is a secreted, N-glycosylated 60kDa glycoprotein located in the subcellular matrix, on the cell-surface, and in the medium of transfected cells
- RT-PCR and western blot analysis of adult mouse tissues showed broad expression
- Western blot analysis suggested proteolytic release of the NTR module in transfected cells as well as in some mouse tissues
- Immunostaining during mouse organogenesis identified ADAMTSL5 in musculoskeletal tissues such as skeletal muscle, cartilage and bone, as well as in many epithelia
- Affinity-chromatography demonstrated heparin-binding of ADAMTSL5 through its NTR-module
- Recombinant ADAMTSL5 bound to both fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 , and co-localized with fibrillin microfibrils in the extracellular matrix of cultured fibroblasts, but without discernible effect on microfibril assembly
- ADAMTSL5 is the first family member shown to bind both fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2
- Like other ADAMTS proteins implicated in microfibril biology through identification of human and animal mutations, ADAMTSL5 could have a role in modulating microfibril functions
