General description

The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease with Thrombospondin motifs) family of secreted proteases comprises at least 20 members in mammals, and several members in invertebrates. ADAMTS members resemble the membrane-bound ADAM family of proteases in the presence of a prodomain, a catalytic domain and a disintegrin-like domain. However, ADAMTS members lack a transmembrane domain, and instead contain varying numbers of thrombospondin type I modules. ADAMTS-5, along with ADAMTS-4, cleaves aggrecan between Glu373 and Ala374, a physiological cleavage site in arthritic cartilage. In addition, expression of ADAMTS-5 is elevated in human chondrocytes treated with inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1, but is constitutively expressed in bovine cartilage explants. 70 and 53 kD forms of ADAMTS-5 have been shown to be present at varying ratios in fibroblast-like synoviocytes and extracts of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and normal synovial tissue.
