Furin Functions as a Nonproteolytic Chaperone for Matrix Metalloproteinase-28: MMP-28 Propeptide Sequence Requirement
Figure 6
Increased MMP-28 secretion is accompanied with cell migration. The data show that furin enhances cell migration in MMP-28 transfected COS-1 cells. This enhancement is accompanied by elevated MMP-28 trafficking in the secretory pathway. COS-1 cells transfected with cDNAs as indicated were examined by transwell migration assay. Each sample was examined as triplicates and repeated three times. Each bar represents the mean SE. (;; and ).
