TIMP-3 is a secreted protein whose extracellular levels are regulated by endocytosis via the low-density-lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP-1). In this study we developed a molecule able to 'trap' TIMP-3 extracellularly, thereby increasing its tissue bioavailability. LRP-1 contains four ligand-binding clusters. In order to investigate the TIMP-3 binding site on LRP-1, we generated soluble minireceptors (sLRPs) containing the four distinct binding clusters or part of each cluster. We used an array of biochemical methods to investigate the binding of TIMP-3 to different sLRPs. We found that TIMP-3 binds to the ligand-binding cluster II of the receptor with the highest affinity and a soluble minireceptor containing the N-terminal half of cluster II specifically blocked TIMP-3 internalization, without affecting the turnover of metalloproteinases. Mass spectrometry-based secretome analysis showed that this minireceptor, named T3TRAP, selectively increased TIMP-3 levels in the extracellular space and inhibited constitutive shedding of a number of cell surface proteins. In conclusion, T3TRAP represents a biological tool that can be used to modulate TIMP-3 levels in the tissue and could be potentially developed as a therapy for diseases characterized by a deficit of TIMP-3, including arthritis. %K Animals %K Binding Sites %K COS Cells %K Cell Line, Tumor %K Chlorocebus aethiops %K Endocytosis %K Epithelial Cells: cytology %K Epithelial Cells: metabolism %K Extracellular Matrix: chemistry %K Extracellular Matrix: metabolism %K Gene Expression Regulation %K HEK293 Cells %K Humans %K Kinetics %K Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein-1: genetics %K Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein-1: metabolism %K Molecular Sequence Annotation %K Neuroglia: cytology %K Neuroglia: metabolism %K Protein Binding %K Protein Interaction Domains and Motifs %K Protein Interaction Mapping %K Protein Transport %K Receptors, Artificial: genetics %K Receptors, Artificial: metabolism %K Recombinant Proteins: genetics %K Recombinant Proteins: metabolism %K Signal Transduction %K Solubility %K Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-3: genetics %K Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-3: metabolism %K Transfection %K LRP1 protein, human (NLM Chemicals) %K Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein-1 (NLM Chemicals) %K Receptors, Artificial (NLM Chemicals) %K Recombinant Proteins (NLM Chemicals) %K TIMP3 protein, human (NLM Chemicals) %K Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-3 (NLM Chemicals) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %$ pmid:27476612 %R 10.1016/j.matbio.2016.07.004 %U https://pub.dzne.de/record/139205
