Human matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) contains three in-tandem fibronectin type If (FII) repeats that bind gelatin. Here, we report the NMR solution structure of the first Fill module of MMP-2 (col-1). The latter is described as a characteristic, globular Fill fold containing two beta-sheets, a stretch of 3(1)-helix, a turn of alpha-helix, and an exposed hydrophobic surface lined with aromatic residues. We show that col-1 binds (Pro-Pro-Gly)(6), a mimic of gelatin, with a K-a of approx. 0.42 mM(-1), and that its binding site involves a number of aromatic residues as well as Arg(34), as previously found for the second and third homologous repeats. Moreover, the affinity of the in-tandem col-12 construct (col-12) toward the longer ligand (Pro-Pro-Gly)(12) is twice that for (Pro-Pro-Gly)6, as expected from mass action. A detailed structural comparison between Fill and kringle domains indicates that four main conformational features are shared: two antiparallel beta-sheets, a central 3(1)-helix, and the quasiperpendicular orientation of the two proximal Cys-Cys bonds. Structure superposition by optimizing overlap of cystine bridge areas results in close juxtaposition of their main beta-sheets and 3(1)-helices, and reveals that the gelatin binding site of Fill modules falls at similar locations and exhibits almost identical topological features to those of the lysine binding site of kringle domains. Thus, despite the minor (
