Matrix metalloproteinase-13 complexed with non-zinc binding inhibitor
Structural highlights
Disease[MMP13_HUMAN] Defects in MMP13 are the cause of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia Missouri type (SEMD-MO) [MIM:602111]. A bone disease characterized by moderate to severe metaphyseal changes, mild epiphyseal involvement, rhizomelic shortening of the lower limbs with bowing of the femora and/or tibiae, coxa vara, genu varum and pear-shaped vertebrae in childhood. Epimetaphyseal changes improve with age.[1] Defects in MMP13 are the cause of metaphyseal anadysplasia type 1 (MANDP1) [MIM:602111]. Metaphyseal anadysplasia consists of an abnormal bone development characterized by severe skeletal changes that, in contrast with the progressive course of most other skeletal dysplasias, resolve spontaneously with age. Clinical characteristics are evident from the first months of life and include slight shortness of stature and a mild varus deformity of the legs. Patients attain a normal stature in adolescence and show improvement or complete resolution of varus deformity of the legs and rhizomelic micromelia.[2] Function[MMP13_HUMAN] Degrades collagen type I. Does not act on gelatin or casein. Could have a role in tumoral process. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe paradigm for matrix metalloprotease inhibition combines active site tailoring and catalytic zinc ligation. But, selectivity has been difficult. Now, Engel et al. present novel compounds, completely selective for MMP-13, with a unique binding mode.
