ADAMTS2 also known as NPI is an important enzyme in the ADAMTS family that plays a mechanical role by processing collagen precursors. It specifically removes the N-terminal propeptides from type I and II procollagens which is an essential step in collagen maturation. This protein with a mass of approximately 168 kDa is expressed in tissues rich in collagens such as skin tendons and ligaments. ADAMTS2 has significant activity in the extracellular space where collagen fibril formation occurs.
Biological function summary

The protein functions as a procollagen N-proteinase responsible for collagen synthesis and maturation. The protein is not part of a complex but it interacts directly with collagen molecules to perform its enzymatic activity. By removing propeptides from procollagens ADAMTS2 enables the formation of mature collagen fibrils contributing to the structural integrity of connective tissue.

Pathways

ADAMTS2 is actively involved in the collagen biosynthesis and modifying enzymes pathway. It works closely with the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway which regulates fibrosis and wound healing processes. Proteins related through these pathways include tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) and other members of the ADAMTS family which together coordinate collagen turnover and tissue remodeling.

The function of ADAMTS2 connects strongly to skin disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VIIC where collagen maturation defects occur. Its impaired activity leads to abnormal connective tissue formation and skin fragility. Additionally scleroderma an autoimmune disorder characterized by fibrosis relates to ADAMTS2 malfunction as abnormal collagen deposition is a central feature of tissue pathology. ADAMTS2’s interactions with its substrates and other metalloproteinases highlight its role in these conditions.

General info

Function

Cleaves the propeptides of type I and II collagen prior to fibril assembly (By similarity). Does not act on type III collagen (By similarity). Cleaves lysyl oxidase LOX at a site downstream of its propeptide cleavage site to produce a short LOX form with reduced collagen-binding activity (PubMed : 31152061).

Post-translational modifications

The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase.. Glycosylated. Can be O-fucosylated by POFUT2 on a serine or a threonine residue found within the consensus sequence C1-X(2)-(S/T)-C2-G of the TSP type-1 repeat domains where C1 and C2 are the first and second cysteine residue of the repeat, respectively. Fucosylated repeats can then be further glycosylated by the addition of a beta-1,3-glucose residue by the glucosyltransferase, B3GALTL. Fucosylation mediates the efficient secretion of ADAMTS family members. Can also be C-glycosylated with one or two mannose molecules on tryptophan residues within the consensus sequence W-X-X-W of the TPRs, and N-glycosylated. These other glycosylations can also facilitate secretion (By similarity).
