Named leukolysin, it encodes for 562 residueswith a conserved MMP structure, i.e., pre-, pro-, catalytic , hinge- and hemopexin-like domains, but also a RXK/RRmotif, known for its role in MMP zymogen activation, anda C-terminal hydrophobic segment. Overall, leukolysindisplays the strongest homology to the newly identifiedMT-MMP subgroup with 45% and 39% identities to MT4and MT1-MMPs vs 30% and 31.5% to MMP1 and 3 respectively. Unlike MT4-MMP whose proteolytic activityremains undefined, a C-terminally truncated leukolysin isexpressed as a strong gelatinolytic species at 28 kDa whichis derived from a cell-associated 34 kDa proenzyme, presumably by furin or proprotein convertase mediated removal of the propeptide (-6 kDa). By green fluorescentprotein (GFP) tagging, the intracellular proenzyme is localized to granules throughout the cell, suggesting thatactivation occur immediately prior to secretion. Taken together, leukolysin may be part of the proteolytic arsenaldeployed by leukocytes during inflammatory responses.展开更多

Immunoassays are often used for such purpose but immunoassays face limitation of both availability and qualities of antibody reagents that are necessary for development of immune assays. With genomics data base available, mass spectrometry (MS) can analyze protein tryptic peptides directly for quantitative determination of proteins. In this study, we report a method for detection of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), an important extracellular matrix modulator, in human breast cancer cells by quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) MS. Absolute quantification of MMP1 was conducted using the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) on a triple quadrupole (Triple-Quad) MS via transitions selected from MMP1 tryptic peptides using non isotope labeled MMP1 protein as a titration standard. In comparison with immune based assay, this MS method showed picogram level sensitivity for quantitative determination of MMP1 intotal cell lysates. Our results demonstrated the feasibility of absolute quantification of low abundance proteins using label-free protein standard by mass spectrometry. Therefore, this method provides not only advantages of high sensitivity but also cost saving in comparison with the commonly used mass spectrometry that currently employs isotype labeled proteins for quantitative analysis.展开更多
