Popis: The four tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are potent inhibitors of the many matrixins (MMPs), except that TIMP1 weakly inhibits some MMPs, including MMP14. The broad-spectrum inhibition of MMPs by TIMPs and their N-domains (NTIMPs) is consistent with the previous isothermal titration calorimetric finding that their interactions are entropy-driven but differ in contributions from solvent and conformational entropy (ΔSsolv, ΔSconf), estimated using heat capacity changes (ΔCp). Selective engineered NTIMPs have potential applications for treating MMP-related diseases, including cancer and cardiomyopathy. Here we report isothermal titration calorimetric studies of the effects of selectivity-modifying mutations in NTIMP1 and NTIMP2 on the thermodynamics of their interactions with MMP1, MMP3, and MMP14. The weak inhibition of MMP14 by NTIMP1 reflects a large conformational entropy penalty for binding. The T98L mutation, peripheral to the NTIMP1 reactive site, enhances binding by increasing ΔSsolv but also reduces ΔSconf. However, the same mutation increases NTIMP1 binding to MMP3 in an interaction that has an unusual positive ΔCp. This indicates a decrease in solvent entropy compensated by increased conformational entropy, possibly reflecting interactions involving alternative conformers. The NTIMP2 mutant, S2D/S4A is a selective MMP1 inhibitor through electrostatic effects of a unique MMP-1 arginine. Asp-2 increases reactive site polarity, reducing ΔCp, but increases conformational entropy to maintain strong binding to MMP1. There is a strong negative correlation between ΔSsolv and ΔSconf for all characterized interactions, but the data for each MMP have characteristic ranges, reflecting intrinsic differences in the structures and dynamics of their free and inhibitor-bound forms.
