Preferential inactivation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 that is bound to the precursor of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (progelatinase B) by human neutrophil elastase.
The precursor of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (pro-MMP-9) forms a complex with the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1 through the C-terminal domain of each molecule, and the N-terminal domain of TIMP-1 in the complex interacts and inhibits active MMPs. We have reported that a catalytic am...
