ADAMTS18
geneOn this page
Summary
ADAMTS18 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 18, HGNC:17110) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q23.1, encoding A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 18 (Q8TE60).
This gene encodes a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. ADAMTS family members share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein, which may regulate hemostatic balance and function as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene may be associated with microcornea, myopic chorioretinal atrophy, and telecanthus (MMCAT) and cone-rod dystrophy in human patients.

Subcellular location. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in fetal lung, liver, and kidney and in adult brain, prostate, submaxillary gland, and endothelium.
Post-translational modifications. The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase. Glycosylated. Can be O-fucosylated by POFUT2 on a serine or a threonine residue found within the consensus sequence C1-X(2)-(S/T)-C2-G of the TSP type-1 repeat domains where C1 and C2 are the first and second cysteine residue of the repeat, respectively. Fucosylated repeats can then be further glycosylated by the addition of a beta-1,3-glucose residue by the glucosyltransferase, B3GALTL. Fucosylation mediates the efficient secretion of ADAMTS family members. Can also be C-glycosylated with one or two mannose molecules on tryptophan residues within the consensus sequence W-X-X-W of the TPRs, and N-glycosylated. These other glycosylations can also facilitate secretion.
Disease relevance. Microcornea, myopic chorioretinal atrophy, and telecanthus (MMCAT) [MIM:615458] A ocular syndrome characterized by microcornea and myopic chorioretinal atrophy. Microcornea is defined by a corneal diameter inferior to 10 mm in both meridians in an otherwise normal eye. In addition to ocular findings, some patients have telecanthus and posteriorly rotated ears. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.
Domain organisation. The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.
