additional information | mice lacking MMP12 have impaired ability to destroy bacteria in the phagolysosomes and die as a result of uncontrolled spread of the infection. The increased mortality is observed when the bacteria are injected through the airway, but not when the bacteria are injected into the blood | Mus musculus |

additional information | MMP12, in contrast to other MMPs, can act intracellularly rather than extracellularly. The majority of MMP12 is secreted, MMP12 might then bind to the bacteria outside the cell prior to phagocytosis | Mus musculus | - |

Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |

proteolytic modification | MMP12 is produced and secreted as a latent pro-enzyme. The pro-domain keeps pro-MMP12 in a catalytically inactive state. After cleavage of the pro-domain, MMP12 becomes proteolytically active. MMP-12 undergoes further processing leading to C-terminal domain shedding, resulting in the mature active form of MMP12 | Mus musculus |

More | pro-MMP-12 contains an N-terminal pro-domain, a catalytic domain, and a C-terminal hemopexin-like domain. The pro-domain is cleaved during maturation. The catalytic domain is essential for the substrate-converting activities of MMPs. Since MMP12 without C-terminal domain is still enzymatically active, the MMP12 C-terminal domain seems not to be required for substrate catalysis. A peptide sequence in the C-terminal domain is responsible for the anti-bacterial activity of MMP-12, but the catalytic domain is not required for the bactericidal property of MMP12, overview | Mus musculus |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | MMP12 is implicated in inflammatory respiratory disorders such as asthma, pulmonary fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, with a critical role of MMP12 in the development of emphysema. MMP inhibitors applied in animal models of emphysema are successful in reducing lung inflammation | Mus musculus |
physiological function | MMP12 is a lead player in the direct killing of bacteria sequestered in the phagolysosomes. MMP12 aggregates onto the bacteria that are trapped inside the phagolysosomes and disrupts the cell wall constituents, resulting in bacterial death, overview | Mus musculus |
