`Novel regulators and functions of metalloproteinase
MT1-MMP in primary macrophages´ The matrix metalloproteinase MT1-MMP is a key regulator of proteolytic cell invasion in both health and disease. MT1-MMP is membrane-bound and cleaves extracellular matrix components, matrix receptors and also intracellular target proteins. Moreover, it is able to proteolytically activate other members of the MMP family and is thus recognized as a “master switch” proteinase. This talk will address the molecular mechanisms that regulate intracellular trafficking of MT1-MMP in primary human macrophages, including exposure on and recycling from the cell surface. A particular focus will be on the role of kinesin motor proteins and vesicle regulators of the RabGTPase family, and also on an unexpected structural role of MT1-MMP as a cellular memory device. The talk will also examine the impact of these newly identified regulators on macrophage invasion and cancer cell co-invasion in 3D models.
