  • Title: Molecular cloning and expression of the mouse 105-kDa gelatinase cDNA.
    Author: Tanaka H, Hojo K, Yoshida H, Yoshioka T, Sugita K.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1993 Feb 15; 190(3):732-40. PubMed ID: 8382489.
    Abstract:
    We have detected a potent gelatinolytic activity in the culture supernatant of a metastatic tumor line, SN-H, derived from a murine squamous cell carcinoma. The relative molecular weight of the gelatinase was estimated as 105-kDa by gelatin zymography. We have cloned the cDNA of this gelatinase and the 3160-bp sequence has been determined. From the translated amino acid sequence, the positions of the cysteine residues and the functional domain structure are highly homologous to the human 92-kDa gelatinase. The nucleotide and amino acid sequence homology between these two cDNAs are 75% and 72%, respectively. Transfection of the cDNA in an expression vector resulted in production of the 105-kDa gelatinase, thus confirming that this cDNA is functional.
