ADAMTS13 is a reprolysin-type metalloproteinase belonging to the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif) family. It specifically cleaves plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) and regulates platelet adhesion and aggregation. ADAMTS13 is a multi-domain enzyme. In addition to the N-terminal metalloproteinase domain, the ancillary domains, including a disintegrin-like domain, a thrombospondin-1 type 1 repeat, a Cys-rich domain and a spacer domain, are required for VWF recognition and cleavage. In the present study, a fragment of the ADAMTS13 ancillary domains (ADAMTS13-DTCS; residues 287-685) was expressed using CHO Lec cells, purified and crystallized. Diffraction data sets were collected using the SPring-8 beamline. Two ADAMTS13-DTCS crystals with distinct unit-cell parameters generated data sets to 2.6 and 2.8 angstrom resolution, respectively.
