Neutral metallo-proteinases of rabbit bone. Separation in latent forms of distinct enzymes that when activated degrade collagen, gelatin and proteoglycans. 1978

A Sellers, and J J Reynolds, and M C Meikle

Rabbit bones in culture produce specific collagenase and neutral metallo-proteinase activity in latent forms that can be activated by either 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate or trypsin. Latent neutral metallo-proteinase activity was resolved by gel filtration into two enzymes, distinct from collagenase, that degrade gelatin and cartilage proteoglycans.

D003012 Microbial Collagenase A metalloproteinase which degrades helical regions of native collagen to small fragments. Preferred cleavage is -Gly in the sequence -Pro-Xaa-Gly-Pro-. Six forms (or 2 classes) have been isolated from Clostridium histolyticum that are immunologically cross-reactive but possess different sequences and different specificities. Other variants have been isolated from Bacillus cereus, Empedobacter collagenolyticum, Pseudomonas marinoglutinosa, and species of Vibrio and Streptomyces. EC 3.4.24.3.
