Abstract
Membrane type 1 metalloprotease (MT1-MMP) is a membrane-anchored, zinc-dependent protease. MT1-MMP is an important mediator of cell migration and invasion, and overexpression of this enzyme has been correlated with the malignancy of various tumor types. Therefore, modulators of MT1-MMP activity are proposed to possess therapeutic potential in numerous invasive diseases. Here we report the inhibition mode of MT1-MMP by LEM-2/15 antibody, which targets a surface epitope of MT1-MMP. Specifically, the crystal structures of Fab LEM-2/15 in complex with the MT1-MMP surface antigen suggest that conformational swiveling of the enzyme surface loop is required for effective binding and consequent inhibition of MT1-MMP activity on the cell membrane. This inhibition mechanism appears to be effective in controlling active MT1-MMP in endothelial cells and at the leading edge of migratory cancer cells.
