StructureThe Structure of MMP-1 and all other members of the Metalloproteinase family for that matter are formed from three domains. The structure comprises of the N-terminal catalytic domain, the linker region and the C-terminal hemopexin domain. The structure of human MMP-1 was determined with X-Ray Crystallography at a resolution of 2.67A to have two monomers (chains A and B). The catalytic domain of one monomer contacts the hemopexin domain of the other monomer. An interesting observation that has been noted is that the contact site used by the two monomers in the asymmetric unit to form the dimer is not the same as the dimerization site observed in the structure of the MMP-9 hemopexin domain. This difference shows that not all members of the Matrix Metalloproteinase family behave the same in their dimerization processes. Catalytic DomainMany of the MMPs share similar catalytic domain structures and this holds up for MMP-1. The Catalytic Domain is about 160 amino acid residues in length with the catalytic zinc ion residing in the C-terminal segment of this domain. The Domain consists of three α-helices, a highly twisted five-stranded β-sheet, and three calcium-binding sites, which are used for ligand binding. Except for one calcium that is held within monomer A, all of the calcium ions are coordinated with either four or five liganding residues. Linker RegionThe Catalytic Domain is followed by a linker region spanning 15-65 residues in all MMPs. The linker region connects the Catalytic Domain and the Hemopexin Domain of the enzyme. This leads to the MMP-1 being more stabilized overall, which is highly required for the mutual actions of two domains.
