E. coli expression of TIMP-4 and comparative kinetic studies with TIMP-1 and TIMP-2: insights into the interactions of TIMPs and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (gelatinase A).
The inhibitory properties of TIMP-4 for matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were compared to those of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2. Full-length human TIMP-4 was expressed in E. coli, folded from inclusion bodies, and the active component was purified by MMP-1 affinity chromatography. Progress curve analysis of MM...
