Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and ADAMTS enzymes regulate tissue structure by cleaving various substrates. Understanding their functions and control mechanisms can lead to new therapies for diseases linked to aberrant proteolysis.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and ADAMTS enzymes are crucial proteases involved in tissue remodeling.
  • These enzymes cleave diverse substrates, including extracellular matrix components and signaling molecules, influencing health and disease.
  • Their post-translational regulation impacts cell metabolism and tissue homeostasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the physiological roles of MMPs and ADAMTSs.
  • To understand the regulatory mechanisms governing MMP and ADAMTS activity.
  • To explore therapeutic strategies targeting aberrant proteolysis.

Main Methods:

  • In vitro studies of substrate processing.
  • In vivo/in situ analysis of catabolic cleavages.
