Aggrecan Degradation in Human Cartilage Evidence for both Matrix Metalloproteinase and Aggrecanase Activity in Normal, Osteoarthritic, and Rheumatoid Joints|Stromelysin-1 (MMP-3), as well as other MMPs, cleave aggrecan in the interglobular domain between Asn341 and Phe342 to generate a G1 fragment with the COOH terminus VDIPEN341 (11–13). This fragment has been isolated and identified by NH2-terminal sequence analysis from human OA cartilage (11). A second proteolytic activity identified as “aggrecanase” also cleaves aggrecan in the interglobular domain, but between Glu373 and Ala374 (19–24), generating a G1 fragment with a COOH terminus of NITEGE373 |
