In vivo N-Terminomics Highlights Novel Functions of ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14 in Skin Collagen Matrix Building
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021Co-Authors: Cédric Leduc, Laura Dupont, Alain Colige, Christine Monseur, Loïc Joannes, Dominique Baiwir, Gabriel Mazzucchelli, Christophe Deroanne, Mourad BekhoucheAbstract:A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motif (ADAMTS)2 and ADAMTS14 were originally known for their ability to cleave the aminopropeptides of fibrillar collagens. Previous work using N-terminomic approach (N-TAILS) in vitro led to the identification of new substrates, including some molecules involved in TGF-β signaling. Here, N-TAILS was used to investigate the substrates of these two enzymes in vivo, by comparing the N-terminomes of the skin of wild type mice, mice deficient in ADAMTS2, in ADAMTS14 and in both ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14. This study identified 68 potential extracellular and cell surface proteins, with the majority of them being cleaved by both enzymes. These analyses comfort their role in collagen matrix organization and suggest their implication in inflammatory processes. Regarding fibrillar collagen, this study demonstrates that both ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14 are involved in the processing of the aminopropeptide of alpha1 and alpha2 type V collagen. It also revealed the existence of several cleavage sites in the Col1 domain and in the C-propeptide of type I collagens. In addition to collagens and other extracellular proteins, two major components of the cell cytoskeleton, actin and vimentin, were also identified as potential substrates. The latter data were confirmed in vitro using purified enzymes and could potentially indicate other functions for ADAMTS2 and 14. This original investigation of mouse skin degradomes by N-terminomic highlights the essential role of ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14 in collagen matrix synthesis and turnover, and gives clues to better understand their functions in skin pathophysiology. Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD022179.

Purification of Native or Recombinant ADAMTS2, and Procollagen I Cleavage Assay.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton N.J.), 2019Co-Authors: Alain ColigeAbstract:ADAMTS constitute a family of 19 secreted metalloproteinases involved in diverse physiopathological conditions. Most of their roles first emerged from analysis of spontaneous human and animal mutations or genetically engineered animals. However, the involved mechanisms and the full repertoire of their functions are still largely unrecognized, in part because they are difficult to produce and purify as recombinant active enzymes. Here we describe protocols, tips, and tricks specifically regarding ADAMTS2, 3, and 14 but still relevant for other ADAMTS.

differential cleavage of lysyl oxidase by the metalloproteinases bmp1 and ADAMTS2 14 regulates collagen binding through a tyrosine sulfate domain
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2019Co-Authors: Tamara Rosellgarcia, Laura Dupont, Mourad Bekhouche, Alain Colige, Alberto Paradela, Gema Bravo, Fernando RodriguezpascualAbstract:Collagens are the main structural component of the extracellular matrix and provide biomechanical properties to connective tissues. A critical step in collagen fibril formation is the proteolytic removal of N- and C-terminal propeptides from procollagens by metalloproteinases of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) and BMP1 (bone morphogenetic protein 1)/Tolloid-like families, respectively. BMP1 also cleaves and activates the lysyl oxidase (LOX) precursor, the enzyme catalyzing the initial step in the formation of covalent collagen cross-links, an essential process for fibril stabilization. In this study, using murine skin fibroblasts and HEK293 cells, along with immunoprecipitation, LOX enzymatic activity, solid-phase binding assays, and proteomics analyses, we report that the LOX precursor is proteolytically processed by the procollagen N-proteinases ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14 between Asp-218 and Tyr-219, 50 amino acids downstream of the BMP1 cleavage site. We noted that the LOX sequence between the BMP1- and ADAMTS-processing sites contains several conserved tyrosine residues, of which some are post-translationally modified by tyrosine O-sulfation and contribute to binding to collagen. Taken together, these findings unravel an additional level of regulation in the formation of collagen fibrils. They point to a mechanism that controls the binding of LOX to collagen and is based on differential BMP1- and ADAMTS2/14-mediated cleavage of a tyrosine-sulfated domain.

The procollagen N-proteinases ADAMTS2, 3 and 14 in pathophysiology.
Matrix biology : journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology, 2015Co-Authors: Mourad Bekhouche, Alain ColigeAbstract:Collagen fibers are the main components of most of the extracellular matrices where they provide a structural support to cells, tissues and organs. Fibril-forming procollagens are synthetized as individual chains that associate to form homo- or hetero-trimers. They are characterized by the presence of a central triple helical domain flanked by amino and carboxy propeptides. Although there are some exceptions, these two propeptides have to be proteolytically removed to allow the almost spontaneous assembly of the trimers into collagen fibrils and fibers. While the carboxy-propeptide is mainly cleaved by proteinases from the tolloid family, the amino-propeptide is usually processed by procollagen N-proteinases: ADAMTS2, 3 and 14. This review summarizes the current knowledge concerning this subfamily of ADAMTS enzymes and discusses their potential involvement in physiopathological processes that are not directly linked to fibrillar procollagen processing.

ADAMTS proteins in human disorders.
Matrix biology : journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology, 2018Co-Authors: Timothy J. Mead, Suneel S. ApteAbstract:ADAMTS proteins are a superfamily of 26 secreted molecules comprising two related, but distinct families. ADAMTS proteases are zinc metalloendopeptidases, most of whose substrates are extracellular matrix (ECM) components, whereas ADAMTS-like proteins lack a metalloprotease domain, reside in the ECM and have regulatory roles vis-a-vis ECM assembly and/or ADAMTS activity. Evolutionary conservation and expansion of ADAMTS proteins in mammals is suggestive of crucial embryologic or physiological roles in humans. Indeed, Mendelian disorders or birth defects resulting from naturally occurring ADAMTS2, ADAMTS3, ADAMTS10, ADAMTS13, ADAMTS17, ADAMTS20, ADAMTSL2 and ADAMTSL4 mutations as well as numerous phenotypes identified in genetically engineered mice have revealed ADAMTS participation in major biological pathways. Important roles have been identified in a few acquired conditions. ADAMTS5 is unequivocally implicated in pathogenesis of osteoarthritis via degradation of aggrecan, a major structural proteoglycan in cartilage. ADAMTS7 is strongly associated with coronary artery disease and promotes atherosclerosis. Autoantibodies to ADAMTS13 lead to a platelet coagulopathy, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is similar to that resulting from ADAMTS13 mutations. ADAMTS proteins have numerous potential connections to other human disorders that were identified by genome-wide association studies. Here, we review inherited and acquired human disorders in which ADAMTS proteins participate, and discuss progress and prospects in therapeutics.

ADAMTS3 activity is mandatory for embryonic lymphangiogenesis and regulates placental angiogenesis
Angiogenesis, 2016Co-Authors: Lauriane Janssen, Suneel S. Apte, Laura Dupont, Mourad Bekhouche, Agnès Noel, Cédric Leduc, Marianne Voz, Bernard Peers, Didier Cataldo, Johanne DubailAbstract:The only documented activity of a subclass of ADAMTS proteases comprising ADAMTS2, 3 and 14 is the cleavage of the aminopropeptide of fibrillar procollagens. A limited number of in vitro studies suggested that ADAMTS3 is mainly responsible for procollagen II processing in cartilage. Here, we created an ADAMTS3 knockout mouse (Adamts3^−/−) model to determine in vivo the actual functions of ADAMTS3. Heterozygous Adamts3^+/− mice were viable and fertile, but their intercrosses demonstrated lethality of Adamts3^−/− embryos after 15 days of gestation. Procollagens I, II and III processing was unaffected in these embryos. However, a massive lymphedema caused by the lack of lymphatics development, an abnormal blood vessel structure in the placenta and a progressive liver destruction were observed. These phenotypes are most probably linked to dysregulation of the VEGF-C pathways. This study is the first demonstration that an aminoprocollagen peptidase is crucial for developmental processes independently of its primary role in collagen biology and has physiological functions potentially involved in several human diseases related to angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.

Insights on ADAMTS proteases and ADAMTS-like proteins from mammalian genetics
Matrix Biology, 2015Co-Authors: Johanne Dubail, Suneel S. ApteAbstract:The mammalian ADAMTS superfamily comprises 19 secreted metalloproteinases and 7 ADAMTS-like proteins, each the product of a distinct gene. Thus far, all appear to be relevant to extracellular matrix function or to cell-matrix interactions. Most ADAMTS functions first emerged from analysis of spontaneous human and animal mutations and genetically engineered animals. The clinical manifestations of Mendelian disorders resulting from mutations in ADAMTS2, ADAMTS10, ADAMTS13, ADAMTS17, ADAMTSL2 and ADAMTSL4 identified essential roles for each gene, but also suggested potential cooperative functions of ADAMTS proteins. These observations were extended by analysis of spontaneous animal mutations, such as in bovine ADAMTS2, canine ADAMTS10, ADAMTS17 and ADAMTSL2 and mouse ADAMTS20. These human and animal disorders are recessive and their manifestations appear to result from a loss-of-function mechanism. Genome-wide analyses have determined an association of some ADAMTS loci such as ADAMTS9 and ADAMTS7, with specific traits and acquired disorders. Analysis of genetically engineered rodent mutations, now achieved for over half the superfamily, has provided novel biological insights and animal models for the respective human genetic disorders and suggested potential candidate genes for related human phenotypes. Engineered mouse mutants have been interbred to generate combinatorial mutants, uncovering cooperative functions of ADAMTS proteins in morphogenesis. Specific genetic models have provided crucial insights on mechanisms of osteoarthritis (OA), a common adult-onset degenerative condition. Engineered mutants will facilitate interpretation of exome variants identified in isolated birth defects and rare genetic conditions, as well as in genome-wide screens for trait and disease associations. Mammalian forward and reverse genetics, together with genome-wide analysis, together constitute a powerful force for revealing the functions of ADAMTS proteins in physiological pathways and health disorders. Their continuing use, together with genome-editing technology and the ability to generate stem cells from mutants, presents numerous opportunities for advancing basic knowledge, human disease pathways and therapy.

Overview of the ADAMTS Superfamily
ADAMTS13, 2015Co-Authors: Suneel S. ApteAbstract:ADAMTS13 is an idiosyncratic member of a distinct family of zinc metalloproteases, the ADAMTS family. This 19-member family is related to ADAM proteases and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) through sequence homology of their active sites and similar catalytic domain structures. These similarities contrast with the presence of distinct ancillary domains in each family, with those of ADAMTS proteases comprising thrombospondin type 1 repeats and other modules in a characteristic arrangement. Human and animal mutations affecting ADAMTS proteases lead to a variety of inherited human disorders and animal phenotypes, which demonstrate their requirement in crucial biological and disease pathways. ADAMTS proteases are implicated in procollagen maturation (ADAMTS2, ADAMTS3), versican turnover during embryogenesis (ADAMTS1, ADAMTS5, ADAMTS9, ADAMTS15, ADAMTS20) and ovulation (ADAMTS1), cartilage aggrecan destruction in arthritis (ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5), genetic disorders affecting fibrillin microfibrils (ADAMTS10, ADAMTS17), and, recently, VEGF-C processing during lymphangiogenesis (ADAMTS3). Although ADAMTS13 shares many characteristics with the other family members, it has some special attributes and is the only ADAMTS protease presently implicated in hemostasis. Its unique specificity for von Willebrand factor contrasts with that of other family members, which can have shared or multiple substrates.

Genetic and functional linkage between ADAMTS superfamily proteins and fibrillin-1: a novel mechanism influencing microfibril assembly and function
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2011Co-Authors: Dirk Hubmacher, Suneel S. ApteAbstract:Tissue microfibrils contain fibrillin-1 as a major constituent. Microfibrils regulate bioavailability of TGFβ superfamily growth factors and are structurally crucial in the ocular zonule. FBN1 mutations typically cause the Marfan syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder manifesting with skeletal overgrowth, aortic aneurysm, and lens dislocation ( ectopia lentis ). Infrequently, FBN1 mutations cause dominantly inherited Weill–Marchesani syndrome (WMS), isolated ectopia lentis (IEL), or the fibrotic condition, geleophysic dysplasia (GD). Intriguingly, mutations in ADAMTS [a disintegrin-like and metalloprotease (reprolysin-type) with thrombospondin type 1 motif] family members phenocopy these disorders, leading to recessive WMS ( ADAMTS10 ), WMS-like syndrome ( ADAMTS17 ), IEL ( ADAMTSL4 and ADAMTS17 ) and GD ( ADAMTSL2 ). An ADAMTSL2 founder mutation causes Musladin–Lueke syndrome, a fibrotic disorder in beagle dogs. The overlapping disease spectra resulting from fibrillin-1 and ADAMTS mutations, interaction of ADAMTS10 and ADAMTSL2 with fibrillin-1, and evidence that these ADAMTS proteins accelerate microfibril biogenesis, constitutes a consilience suggesting that some ADAMTS proteins evolved to provide a novel mechanism regulating microfibril formation and consequently cell behavior.

In vivo N-Terminomics Highlights Novel Functions of ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14 in Skin Collagen Matrix Building

Determination of the substrate repertoire of ADAMTS2, 3, and 14 significantly broadens their functions and identifies extracellular matrix organization and TGF-β signaling as primary targets
FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2016Co-Authors: Mourad Bekhouche, Lauriane Janssen, Laura Dupont, Cédric Leduc, Dominique Baiwir, Gabriel Mazzucchelli, Frédéric Delolme, Sandrine Vadon-le Goff, Nicolas Smargiasso, Isabelle Zanella-cléonAbstract:A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motif (ADAMTS)2, 3, and 14 are collectively named procollagen N-proteinases (pNPs) because of their specific ability to cleave the aminopropeptide of fibrillar procollagens. Several reports also indicate that they could be involved in other biological processes, such as blood coagulation, development, and male fertility, but the potential substrates associated with these activities remain unknown. Using the recently described N-terminal amine isotopic labeling of substrate approach, we analyzed the secretomes of human fibroblasts and identified 8, 17, and 22 candidate substrates for ADAMTS2, 3, and 14, respectively. Among these newly identified substrates, many are components of the extracellular matrix and/or proteins related to cell signaling such as latent TGF-β binding protein 1, TGF-β RIII, and dickkopf-related protein 3. Candidate substrates for the 3 ADAMTS have been biochemically validated in different contexts, and the implication of ADAMTS2 in the control of TGF-β activity has been further demonstrated in human fibroblasts. Finally, the cleavage site specificity was assessed showing a clear and unique preference for nonpolar or slightly hydrophobic amino acids. This work shows that the activities of the pNPs extend far beyond the classically reported processing of the aminopropeptide of fibrillar collagens and that they should now be considered as multilevel regulators of matrix deposition and remodeling.-Bekhouche, M., Leduc, C., Dupont, L., Janssen, L., Delolme, F., Vadon-Le Goff, S., Smargiasso, N., Baiwir, D., Mazzucchelli, G., Zanella-Cleon, I., Dubail, J., De Pauw, E., Nusgens, B., Hulmes, D.

ADAMTS3 activity is mandatory for embryonic lymphangiogenesis and regulates placental angiogenesis

Spontaneous atopic dermatitis due to immune dysregulation in mice lacking ADAMTS2 and 14.
Matrix biology : journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology, 2018Co-Authors: Laura Dupont, Lauriane Janssen, Cédric Leduc, Didier Cataldo, Grégory Ehx, M. Chantry, Christine Monseur, Marc Thiry, Christine Jérôme, Jean-michel ThomassinAbstract:Abstract Since its first description, ADAMTS14 has been considered as an aminoprocollagen peptidase based on its high similarity with ADAMTS3 and ADAMTS2. As its importance for procollagen processing was never experimentally demonstrated in vivo , we generated Adamts14 -deficient mice. They are healthy, fertile and display normal aminoprocollagen processing. They were further crossed with ADAMTS2 -deficient mice to evaluate potential functional redundancies between these two highly related enzymes. Initial characterizations made on young ADAMTS2-Adamts14 -deficient animals showed the same phenotype as that of ADAMTS2 -deficient mice, with no further reduction of procollagen processing and no significant aggravation of the structural alterations of collagen fibrils. However, when evaluated at older age, ADAMTS2-Adamts14 -deficient mice surprisingly displayed epidermal lesions, appearing in 2 month-old males and later in some females, and then worsening rapidly. Immunohistological evaluations of skin sections around the lesions revealed thickening of the epidermis, hypercellularity in the dermis and extensive infiltration by immune cells. Additional investigations, performed on young mice before the formation of the initial lesions, revealed that the primary cause of the phenotype was not related to alterations of the epidermal barrier but was rather the result of an abnormal activation and differentiation of T lymphocytes towards a Th1 profile. However, the primary molecular defect probably does not reside in the immune system itself since irradiated ADAMTS2-Adamts14 -deficient mice grafted with WT immune cells still developed lesions. While originally created to better characterize the common and specific functions of ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS14 in extracellular matrix and connective tissues homeostasis, the ADAMTS2-Adamts14 -deficient mice revealed an unexpected but significant role of ADAMTS in the regulation of immune system, possibly through a cross-talk involving mesenchymal cells and the TGFβ pathways.

Among these newly identified substrates, many are components of the extracellular matrix and/or proteins related to cell signaling such as latent TGF-β binding protein 1, TGF-β RIII, and dickkopf-related protein 3. Candidate substrates for the 3 ADAMTS have been biochemically validated in different contexts, and the implication of ADAMTS2 in the control of TGF-β activity has been further demonstrated in human fibroblasts. Finally, the cleavage site specificity was assessed showing a clear and unique preference for nonpolar or slightly hydrophobic amino acids. This work shows that the activities of the pNPs extend far beyond the classically reported processing of the aminopropeptide of fibrillar collagens and that they should now be considered as multilevel regulators of matrix deposition and remodeling.-Bekhouche, M., Leduc, C., Dupont, L., Janssen, L., Delolme, F., Vadon-Le Goff, S., Smargiasso, N., Baiwir, D., Mazzucchelli, G., Zanella-Cleon, I., Dubail, J., De Pauw, E., Nusgens, B., Hulmes, D. J. S., Moali, C., Colige, A. Determination of the substrate repertoire of ADAMTS2, 3, and 14 significantly broadens their functions and identifies extracellular matrix organization and TGF-β signaling as primary targets.

Expression of ADAMTS metalloproteinases in the retinal pigment epithelium derived cell line ARPE-19: transcriptional regulation by TNFalpha.
Biochimica et biophysica acta, 2003Co-Authors: Debra J. Bevitt, Jeseem Mohamed, Jon B. Catterall, Ce Arris, Paul Hiscott, Carl Sheridan, Kevin P. Langton, Michael D. Barker, Michael P. ClarkeAbstract:ADAMTS (A Disintegrin-like And Metalloprotease domain with ThromboSpondin type I motifs) are multidomain proteins with demonstrated metalloproteinase functionality and have potential roles in embryonic development, angiogenesis and cartilage degradation. We present here investigations of ADAMTS expression in an ocular cell type, ARPE-19, with a view to implicating them in retinal matrix turnover. Expression analysis was undertaken using a combination of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern blotting experiments, which together detected the expression of mRNAs for several ADAMTS proteins, all of which have active site motifs characteristic of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs). These included ADAMTS1, ADAMTS2, ADAMTS3, ADAMTS5, ADAMTS6, ADAMTS7 and ADAMTS9. The expression of mRNA isoforms for ADAMTS7 and ADAMTS9 were also detected. Following stimulation with TNFalpha, ADAMTS1, ADAMTS6 and both ADAMTS9 transcripts expressed in ARPE-19 cells showed a potent upregulation. The expression of ADAMTS genes in ARPE-19 cells and the transcriptional stimulation of some family members by TNFalpha may implicate them in inflammatory eye disease and the compromise of retinal matrix structure, which is evident in age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and other retinal pathologies.
