Vascular‐apoptosis‐inducing protein‐1 (VAP1) is a zinc endopeptidase from western diamondback snakeCrotalus atroxvenom. VAP1 possesses a metalloproteinase/disintegrin/cysteine‐rich (MDC) domain that bears the typical domain architecture of the adamalysin/reprolysin/ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) family of proteins. Mammalian ADAM proteinases are unique in that they have both proteolytic and adhesive properties. Additionally, as cell‐surface proteins, they constitute a major class of membrane‐anchored sheddases and participate in the processing of cell‐surface‐protein ectodomains, including the latent forms of growth factors, cytokines, and receptors. The crystal structures of VAP1 reveal a C‐shaped MDC domain architecture and a potential protein–protein interaction site in the C domain that faces the catalytic site in the M domain. The structures of VAP1 and related proteins suggest that there is interplay between proteolytic and adhesive functions in the proteinases of the adamalysin/reprolysin/ADAM family.
