sequence homology of ADAMTS2 cleavage sites in alpha chain types I-III fibrillar collagens from different species, overview. The murine enzyme ADAMTS2 cleaves at sites 148NFAS-/-QMSY155 in chain alpha1(I), at 178NFAA-/-QMAG185 in chain alpha1(II), and at 151NYSP-/-QFDS158 in chain alpha1(III), as well as at 81NFAA-/-QYSD89 in chains alpha2(I), respectively

proteolytic cleavage is required for enzyme activation, an autocatalytic cleavage occurring within the carboxy-terminal end, possibly in the PNP-domain, increases its activity
ADAMTS2 is mainly expressed by fibroblasts and cells of mesenchymal origin and its expression correlates with the expression of type I and type III collagens. ADAMTS14 is coexpressed with ADAMTS2 in different connective tissues
the activity of proteinases can be controlled by mechanisms such as clearing by internalization into cells or co-localization with their substrates ADAMTS2, 3 and 14, although being secreted, are immobilized at the cell surface, or very close to it, at a location where procollagen processing is physiologically performed. The ancillary domains, especially the second TSR1, are required for efficient interactions with the cell layer compartment and with extracellular matrix components
the procollagen N-propeptidase belongs to the 'a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I domain' proteases (ADAMTS) family, M12B ADAM branch. Beside their specific enzymatic activity, the members are characterized by the presence of four thrombospondin type I domains (TSR1) and a C-terminal procollagen N-proteinase (PNP) domain comprising a protease-and-lacunin (PLAC) domain. ADAMTS14 is coexpressed with ADAMTS2
mice with inactivation of both alleles of procollagen N-proteinase (ADAMTS-2) exhibit no difference between knockout mice and their wild type littermates
Adamts2-deficient mice phenotype, overview. The absence of ADAMTS2 activity leads to the dermatosparactic type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, also previously known as EDS-type VIIC
in Adamts2-KO mouse livers, collagen fibers are thinner and more irregular than in the control littermates, which correlated also with faster collagen degradation. Fragility of the skin occurs in Adamts2-KO mice
mice lacking ADAMTS2 display exacerbate cardiac hypertrophy on pressure overload-induced hypertrophic response, whereas mice with cardiac-specific overexpression of ADAMTS2 display alleviation of this detrimental phenotype. A murine model of aortic banding (AB)-induced cardiac hypertrophy, shows that mice after 4-week AB-treatment exhibit dramatically increased ADAMTS2 protein expression. Loss of ADAMTS2 (ADAMTS2-KO mice) aggravates pressure overload-induced hypertrophy
enzyme ADAMTS2 is crucial for fibrillar collagen organization, overview. ADAMTS2 induces the apoptosis of endothelial cells by a mechanism independent of its catalytic activity but potentially related to interactions with a cell surface receptor. ADAMTS2 shows potent anti-angiogenic activity
ADAMTS2 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 2) is recognized as a metalloproteinase that promotes the cleavage of amino propeptides of types I, II, III, and V procollagens. ADAMTS2 regulates the hypertrophic response through inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/AKT-dependent signaling pathway. ADAMTS2 decreases AKT phosphorylation on hypertrophic stress
ADAMTS2 induces the apoptosis of endothelial cells by a mechanism independent of its catalytic activity but potentially related to interactions with a cell surface receptor by one of its C-terminal domains. The role of ADAMTS2 is crucial for collagen fibrils formation
further to proteolytic processing, the domain composition of ADAMTS2 can also result from an alternative splicing mechanism. Beside the classical 1211 amino acid full length enzyme, a shorter form has been described. It is formed by the first 543 amino acids of the long form (corresponding to exons 1-10) followed by 23 amino acids encoded by an alternative exon present in intron 10 of the long form. This truncated form does contain the metalloproteinase domain but does not show any significant aminoprocollagen peptidase activity
ADAMTS2 is synthesized as an inactive proenzyme which is activated by mammalian subtilisins, such as furin, which cleave between the prodomain and the metalloproteinase domain
ADAMTS2 is synthesized as an inactive proenzyme which is activated by mammalian subtilisins, such as furin, which cleave between the prodomain and the metalloproteinase domain. It has also been shown that an autocatalytic cleavage occurring within the carboxy-terminal end, possibly in the PNP-domain, increases its activity
