Crystal structure of the MTSP1 (matriptase)-BPTI (aprotinin) complex
Structural highlights
Disease[ST14_HUMAN] Defects in ST14 are a cause of ichthyosis autosomal recessive with hypotrichosis (ARIH) [MIM:610765]. ARIH is a skin disorder characterized by congenital ichthyosis associated with the presence of less than the normal amount of hair.[1] Function[ST14_HUMAN] Degrades extracellular matrix. Proposed to play a role in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Exhibits trypsin-like activity as defined by cleavage of synthetic substrates with Arg or Lys as the P1 site. [BPT1_BOVIN] Inhibits trypsin, kallikrein, chymotrypsin, and plasmin. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe type II transmembrane multidomain serine proteinase MT-SP1/matriptase is highly expressed in many human cancer-derived cell lines and has been implicated in extracellular matrix re-modeling, tumor growth, and metastasis. We have expressed the catalytic domain of MT-SP1 and solved the crystal structures of complexes with benzamidine at 1.3 A and bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor at 2.9 A. MT-SP1 exhibits a trypsin-like serine proteinase fold, featuring a unique nine-residue 60-insertion loop that influences interactions with protein substrates. The structure discloses a trypsin-like S1 pocket, a small hydrophobic S2 subsite, and an open negatively charged S4 cavity that favors the binding of basic P3/P4 residues. A complementary charge pattern on the surface opposite the active site cleft suggests a distinct docking of the preceding low density lipoprotein receptor class A domain. The benzamidine crystals possess a freely accessible active site and are hence well suited for soaking small molecules, facilitating the improvement of inhibitors. The crystal structure of the MT-SP1 complex with bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor serves as a model for hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor 1, the physiological inhibitor of MT-SP1, and suggests determinants for the substrate specificity.
