Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteases 3 (TIMP-3): In Vivo Analysis Underpins Its Role as a Master Regulator of Ectodomain Shedding

Abstract: The proteolytical cleavage of transmembrane proteins with subsequent release of their extracellular domain, so-called ectodomain shedding, is a post-translational modification that plays an essential role in several biological processes, such as cell communication, adhesion and migration. Metalloproteases are major proteases in ectodomain shedding, especially the disintegrin metalloproteases (ADAMs) and the membrane-type matrix metalloproteases (MT-MMPs), which are considered to be canonical sheddases for thei… Show more

“…TIMPs are a group of endogenous inhibitors of metalloproteases whose major function is modulating the turnover of ECM components. TIMPs are expressed in all metazoans, and evidence suggests their role in modulating ancestral ECMs, in the cnidarian mesoglea and in the regulation of ectodomain shedding [ 73 ]. Although metazoan TIMPs show a conserved wedge-like shape across evolutionarily distant species, some structural features are unique for specific TIMPs.…”

“…Sorsby Fundus Dystrophy (SFD) is an autosomal dominant, fully penetrant, macular dystrophy with early onset of symptoms, usually in the third or fourth decade of life [1][2][3][4] and is caused by specific mutations in the Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP3) gene [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The majority of SFD mutations in TIMP3, result in the substitution of a cysteine residue for another amino acid in the C-terminus of the protein.…”
