A helping hand for collagenases: the haemopexin-like domain.
The structures of the C-terminal domains of rabbit haemopexin and full-length porcine fibroblast collagenase reveal a common beta-propeller fold with pseudo-fourfold symmetry. The interactions of these haemopexin-like domains with target proteins and ligands is, however, still a matter of debate.
