17
Q

What does the catalytic domain need

A

Zinc or metals for catalytic activity

18
Q

Name the 3 metalloproteinases

A

MMP (matrix metalloproteinases)

ADAM (a disintegrin like and metalloproteinase)

ADAMTS (ADAM with a thrombospondin motif)

19
Q

What is the substrate specific domain in mmp which recognise specific sequences on ecm components

A

Hemopexin/ haemopexin

20
Q

Give examples of mmp

A

Collagenases mmp-1

Gelatinases

Matrilysins

Membrane type MT

21
Q

Are mmp secreted by cell or membrane bound

A

Secreted unless membrane type MT mmp

22
Q

What is a disintegrin on adam

A

Small proteins which block integrin interactions in cell adhesion

23
Q

What is thrombospondin which makes adamts unique

A

Adhesion gp which allows cell to cell or cell to matrix interaction

24
Q

Which metalloproteinases are membrane bound not secreted

A

Adam

25
Q

Give 2 examples of adamts

A

Aggrecanases

Pro collagenases

26
Q

What substrate specific domain do adam and adamts have

A

Dis-sp1

27
Q

What is released due to ecm breakdown

A

Things bound like gf,hormones and cytokines

28
Q

What are metalloproteinases secreted as and then how is this stopped

A

Pro enzymes inactive (except Adam)

Pro bait region removed

29
Q

Which 2 inhibitors are there for metalloproteinases

A

A2 macroglobulin (inhibitor in blood)

Timps (tissue inhibitors)

30
Q

How do timps work

A

Slot into active site of metalloproteinases

31
Q

What are neo epitopes

A

The ecm fragments which are from catabolism eg aggrecanase cuts at specific sites

32
Q

How is ecm breakdown monitored

A

Antibody searching for neo epitopes

33
Q

What do fragments / neo epitopes allow for homeostasis

A

Allow stimulation of more ecm to be produced in return of catabolism

34
Q

Why is mmp1 important for wound healing

A

Allows for keratinocytes migration which produce new epidermal layers

35
Q

Why is mmp7 important for wound healing

A

Allows neutrophil migration

Also release of vegf and TNFa for angiogenesis

36
Q

What can cause abnormal ecm building to promote tumours/cancer

A

Cross linking of collagen and cancer fibroblast production

This then allows other things like tumour angiogenesis

37
Q

After metalloproteinases action, how are they stopped

A

Endocytosed into cell and then lysosome degradation

38
Q

Which 2 things on cells recognise ecm fragments after catabolism

A

Integrins

Or

Prr (the fragments are DAMPS)

39
Q

What does binding to prr by fragments cause

A

Inflammation via release of cytokines either causing synthesis or Further breakdown

40
Q

Which 3 cytokines released after prr binding cause synthesis and block breakdown

A

Tgf b-1
Igf-1
Bfgf

41
Q

Which 2 cytokines cause further breakdown which causes diseases

A

Tnf-a and Il-1

42
Q

Other than tgf b , igf 1 and bfgf what blocks breakdown

A

Il 6
