Tetraspanin CD63 promotes targeting and lysosomal proteolysis of membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase

Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is known to be internalized from cell surface, however, the fate of internalized MT1-MMP is still unknown. Here we demonstrate that at least a part of internalized MT1-MMP is targeted for lysosomal proteolysis. Treatment with an inhibitor of lysosom...

Description
Summary:Membrane-type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is known to be internalized from cell surface, however, the fate of internalized MT1-MMP is still unknown. Here we demonstrate that at least a part of internalized MT1-MMP is targeted for lysosomal proteolysis. Treatment with an inhibitor of lysosomal proteinases chloroquine suppressed degradation of internalized MT1-MMP and induced accumulation of MT1-MMP in CD63-positive lysosomes. Ectopic expression of CD63 accelerated degradation of MT1-MMP, which was blocked by chloroquine. MT1-MMP, and CD63 were shown to form a complex through hemopexin-like domain of MT1-MMP and N-terminal region of CD63, and thus accelerated degradation of MT1-MMP was not observed with mutants lacking these domains. CD63 mutant lacking lysosomal targeting motif was unable to promote MT1-MMP degradation. These results suggest that CD63 regulates MT1-MMP by targeting to lysosomes.
