Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |

D47A | the mutation is localized in the pro-peptide of the protease, the mutant is transported to the cell surface and exhibit expression comparable with wild-type meprin beta | Homo sapiens |
G32R | naturally occuring mutant, the mutation is localized in the pro-peptide of the protease and identified in endometrium cancer, the mutant is transported to the cell surface and exhibit expression comparable with wild-type meprin beta, the mutant is more active against a peptide substrate (meprin beta-specific peptide substrate that is linked to a fluorogenic group (MCA) at the N-terminus and a quencher (DPN) at the C-terminus) and the interleukin-6 receptor than wild-type meprin beta. The change to an arginine residue at position 32 represents an additional activation site used by furin-like proteases in the Golgi, which consequently leads to reduced shedding by ADAM17. The meprin beta G32R variant assesses cell proliferation, invasion through a collagen IV matrix, and outgrowth from tumor spheroids. Increased meprin beta G32R activity at the cell surface reduces cell proliferation, but increases cell invasion. The G32R meprin beta variant shows increased activity. Phenotype, overview | Homo sapiens |
G32R/R61S | site-directed mutagenesis, the double mutant has two altered sites that can no longer be proteolytically cleaved and cannot be activated or shedded | Homo sapiens |
additional information | the expression patterns and cellular localizations of the two amino acid exchange variants do not differ from that of wild-type meprin beta | Homo sapiens |

additional information | the extracellular metalloprotease meprin beta is expressed as a homodimer and is primarily membrane bound. Meprin beta can be released from the cell surface by its known sheddases ADAM10 and ADAM17. Shedding of meprin beta mutant G32R mediated by ADAM17 is impaired | Homo sapiens | - |

proteolytic modification | proteolytic activation of pro-meprin beta at the cell surface, serine protease matriptase-2 (MT-2) is a membrane-bound activator of meprin beta. Shedding of meprin beta is mediated by endogenous ADAM10 or ADAM17. Shedding of meprin beta mutant G32R mediated by ADAM17 is impaired | Homo sapiens |

Activation of pro-meprin beta at the cell surface prevents its shedding, thereby stabilizing its proteolytic activity at the plasma membrane | Homo sapiens |
