Abstract
This chapter focuses on extracellular matrix (ECM) metalloproteinases MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-9, and MMP-14 (MT1 MMP) and their interactions with substrate. MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9 are tethered in periplasmic space while MT1-MMP is a trans-membrane proteinase. The enzymes were found tightly associated with ECM and collagen in particular. The investigation of MMP-2 binding to gelatin-coated surfaces produced a number of seemingly paradoxical observations. The uniqueness of the mammalian collagenase cleavage site in native triple helical collagen (THC) types I, II, and III lies in the primary amino acid sequence and also in unique physico-chemical properties of the surrounding area. Brownian motion of MMP-1 is interrupted by the stochastic pauses of type I with exponential time of escape distribution and type II pauses at "hot spot" binding sites that occur at 1. 3 and/or 1. 5 μm intervals along the fibril.
