A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type I motifs-1 (ADAMTS-1) is an extracellular matrix-anchored metalloproteinase. In this study we have demonstrated that ADAMTS-1 is able to cleave a major cartilage proteoglycan, aggrecan, N-terminal sequencing analysis of the cleavage product revealed that ADAMTS-1 cleaves the Glu(1871)-Leu(1872) bond within the chondroitin sulfate attachment domain of aggrecan, In addition, deletional analysis demonstrated that the C-terminal spacer region of ADAMTS-1 is necessary to degrade aggrecan, These results suggest that ADAMTS-1 may be involved in the turnover of aggrecan in vivo.
