Background
ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 13), also known as von Willebrand Factor (vWF) cleaving protease, is a member of the family of secreted zinc proteases with a multidomain structure (1-3). The protein precursors consist of a signal peptide and following domains: pro, catalytic, disintegrin-like, thromobspondin type 1 (TSP1) motif, a cysteine-rich domain, a spacer region, a second set of seven TSP1 repeats, and two CUB domins. The only known substrate of ADAMTS13 is vWF, a blood glycoprotein with two homeostatic functions (4). It is required for platelet adhesion to sites of vascular damage and acts as a carrier protein for blood-clotting factor VIII in the circulation. It exists in plasma as multimers, the largest of which effectively mediate platelet adhesion. ADAMTS13 cleaves multimeric vWF in the A2 domain at the position between Tyr1605 and Met1606. A defect in ADAMTS13 activity is a cause of congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), also known as Upshaw Schulman syndrome. Lack of ADAMTS13 activity allows unusually high concentrations vWF (UlvWF) to accumulate in plasma (5). These UlvWF multimers have a tendency to agglutinate circulating platelets at sites with high levels of shear stress to cause TTP. The recombinant human vWFA2 cleaving activity of recombinant human ADAMTS13 can be inhibited by 5 mM 1,10‑phenanthroline.
