Identification and characterization of an amphioxus matrix metalloproteinase homolog BbMMPL2 responding to bacteria challenge.

Abstract:

:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent endopeptidases mainly involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. We have cloned and identified BbMMPL2 as homolog of MMPs from adult amphioxus. Recombinant BbMMPL2 proteins underwent self-processing during refolding in vitro. The final ~23 kDa polypeptide displayed proteolytic activity against ECM components like casein, gelatin, collagen IV and fibrinogen, but not laminin, fibronectin or α1-PI. This activity could be inhibited by GM6001 and TIMP-1/2. In addition, real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that BbMMPL2 expressed in all issues/organs in adult amphioxus we tested. Its transcription was significantly up-regulated 12 h post immune challenge by Escherichia coli in epidermis and hepatic diverticulum but only slightly increased by Staphyloccocus aureus in epidermis. Furthermore, recombinant BbMMPL2-EGFP expressed in 293T and NIH/3T3 cells showed aggregation in cytoplasm and induced cell death. Our results provided new evidence that MMP was involved in immune response which could be conserved through evolution.
