Background: Pappalysin-1/PAPP-A

Pappalysins belong to a fifth family of metzincins that consists of ADAMs/ADAMTSs, MMPs, astacins and serralysins (1). Pappalysin-1 (PAPP-A) is a secreted, disulfide-linked 400 kDa homodimer with an N-terminal catalytic domain and five C-terminal Sushi domains (2). PAPP-A cleaves Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-4 and -5 (IGFBP-4 and -5) at a single site, resulting in the release of bioactive IGF (3). PAPP-A also contains three Lin12-Notch repeats (LNR) that bind calcium and are required for cleavage of IGFBP-4, but not IGFBP-5 (2). PAPP-A is thought to be the only physiological IGFBP-4 proteinase supported by the observation that no IGFBP-4 cleavage occurred in embryonic fibroblasts derived from PAPP-A knockout mice (4).  As a regulator of IGF bioavailability, and consequently IGF signaling, PAPP-A is an attractive therapeutic target (5-8).  PAPP-A knockout mice have an extended lifespan (9) and use of specific neutralizing antibodies causes inhibition of atherosclerotic plaque progression (10). PAPP-A levels are elevated in cancer (11-14) and PAPP-A has been identified as a migration/invasion-promoting gene (5,6, 12). PAPP-A is also important during pregnancy where PAPP-A levels are increased in the plasma by a factor of about 150. Low maternal serum levels of PAPP-A is used as an indication of Down syndrome or other fetal aneuploidies in the first trimester of pregnancy (15).
