In vitro reconstitution of proMatrix Metalloproteinase-9/Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycan Complexes. Identification of motifs in proMMP-9 and the serglycin core protein involved in the complex formation.
Dawadi, Rangita (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-15)Previously it has been shown that different monocytic leukemic cell lines such as THP-1, MonoMac and U-937 can produce proteolytic enzymes such as MMP-9 as well as various types of proteoglycans (PG). These proteins have been shown to be involved in homeostasis as well as in various diseases, such as cancer. When proMMP-9 was mixed with isolated PGs from these three cell lines or pure serglycin and ...
