Gly bonds. With synthetic peptides, a preference is shown for Gly at P3 and P1', Pro and Ala at P2 and P2', and hydroxyproline, Ala or Arg at P3'
Reaction: Digestion of native collagen in the triple helical region at Gly bonds. With synthetic peptides, a preference is shown for Gly at P3 and P1', Pro and Ala at P2 and P2', and hydroxyproline, Ala or Arg at P3'
Other names: Clostridium histolyticum collagenase; clostridiopeptidase A; collagenase A; collagenase I; Achromobacter iophagus collagenase; collagenase; aspergillopeptidase C; nucleolysin; azocollase; metallocollagenase; soycollagestin; Clostridium histolyticum proteinase A; clostridiopeptidase II; MMP-8; clostridiopeptidase I; collagen peptidase; collagen protease; collagenase MMP-1; metalloproteinase-1; kollaza; matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-1; matrix metalloproteinase-8; matirx metalloproteinase-18; interstitial collagenase
Comments: Six species of metalloendopeptidase acting on native collagen can be isolated from the medium of Clostridium histolyticum. Class I has forms α (68 kDa), β (115 kDa) and γ (79 kDa); class II has δ (100 kDa), ε (110 kDa) and ζ (125 kDa). The two classes are immunologically crossreactive, but have significantly different sequences, and different specificities such that their actions on collagen are complementary. The enzymes also act as peptidyl-tripeptidases. Variants of the enzyme have been purified from Bacillus cereus [10], Empedobacter collagenolyticum [4], Pseudomonas marinoglutinosa [1], and species of Vibrio, Vibrio B-30 (ATCC 21250) [2] and V. alginolyticus (previously Achromobacter iophagus) [3,8]. Also known from Streptomyces sp. [9]. The Vibrio enzyme is the type example of peptidase family M9. Formerly EC 3.4.99.5, EC 3.4.4.19 and EC 3.4.24.8
