Summary

TMPRSS2 (transmembrane serine protease 2, HGNC:11876) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 21q22.3, encoding Transmembrane protease serine 2 (O15393). Plasma membrane-anchored serine protease that cleaves at arginine residues.

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the serine protease family. The encoded protein contains a type II transmembrane domain, a receptor class A domain, a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich domain and a protease domain. Serine proteases are known to be involved in many physiological and pathological processes. This gene was demonstrated to be up-regulated by androgenic hormones in prostate cancer cells and down-regulated in androgen-independent prostate cancer tissue. The protease domain of this protein is thought to be cleaved and secreted into cell media after autocleavage. This protein also facilitates entry of viruses into host cells by proteolytically cleaving and activating viral envelope glycoproteins. Viruses found to use this protein for cell entry include Influenza virus and the human coronaviruses HCoV-229E, MERS-CoV, SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Plasma membrane-anchored serine protease that cleaves at arginine residues. Participates in proteolytic cascades of relevance for the normal physiologic function of the prostate. Androgen-induced TMPRSS2 activates several substrates that include pro-hepatocyte growth factor/HGF, the protease activated receptor-2/F2RL1 or matriptase/ST14 leading to extracellular matrix disruption and metastasis of prostate cancer cells. In addition, activates trigeminal neurons and contribute to both spontaneous pain and mechanical allodynia. (Microbial infection) Facilitates human coronaviruses SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 infections via two independent mechanisms, proteolytic cleavage of ACE2 receptor which promotes viral uptake, and cleavage of coronavirus spike glycoproteins which activates the glycoprotein for host cell entry. The cleavage of SARS-COV2 spike glycoprotein occurs between the S2 and S2’ site. Upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, increases syncytia formation by accelerating the fusion process. Proteolytically cleaves and activates the spike glycoproteins of human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) and human coronavirus EMC (HCoV-EMC) and the fusion glycoproteins F0 of Sendai virus (SeV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), human parainfluenza 1, 2, 3, 4a and 4b viruses (HPIV). Essential for spread and pathogenesis of influenza A virus (strains H1N1, H3N2 and H7N9); involved in proteolytic cleavage and activation of hemagglutinin (HA) protein which is essential for viral infectivity. (Microbial infection) Receptor for human coronavirus HKU1-CoV, acts synergistically with disialoside glycans to facilitate the entry of the virus. After binding to cell-surface disialoside glycans, the viral S protein interacts with the inactive form of TMPRSS2 and inhibits its protease activity.

Subunit / interactions. The catalytically active form interacts with ACE2.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane Secreted.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in several tissues that comprise large populations of epithelial cells with the highest level of transcripts measured in the prostate gland. Expressed in type II pneumocytes in the lung (at protein level). Expressed strongly in small intestine. Also expressed in colon, stomach and salivary gland. Coexpressed with ACE2 within lung type II pneumocytes, ileal absorptive enterocytes, intestinal epithelial cells, cornea, gallbladder and nasal goblet secretory cells (Ref.21).

Post-translational modifications. Proteolytically processed; by an autocatalytic mechanism. Autocleavage induces active conformation.

Induction. By androgenic hormones in vivo.

Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
