Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase that is associated with the proteolytic activation of progelatinase A was expressed as a recombinant fusion protein in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme cleaved the propeptide sequence of gelatinase A in a sequence-specific manner. A mutant progelatinase A that has a substitution of Asn66-Leu to Ile-Val was not processed at all. The processing was blocked by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 or BB-94 but not by tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1. Thus, membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase is a direct activator of progelatinase A without requiring additional proteases.
