title: Inactivation of human plasma C1-inhibitor by human PMN leucocyte matrix metalloproteinases.
abstract: Highly purified human polymorphonuclear (PMN) leucocyte matrix metalloproteinases, collagenase and gelatinase, cleaved human plasma C1-inhibitor at the carboxyl site of Ala439 (P6). This led to a concomitant loss of C1-inhibitor activity. An additional cleavage site, at the carboxyl site of Ser441 (P4), was observed during PMN leucocyte gelatinase-induced inactivation, and a minor fragment of the plasma C1-inhibitor was generated.
