The tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) constitute a family of proteins, of which three members have so far been described. Using the expressed sequence tag sequencing approach, we have identified a novel TIMP-related cDNA fragment and subsequently cloned a fourth human TIMP (TIMP-4) from a human heart cDNA library. The open reading frame encodes a 224-amino acid precursor including a 29-residue secretion signal. The predicted structure of the new protein shares 37% sequence identity with TIMP-1 and 51% identity with TIMP-2 and -3. The protein has a predicted isoelectric point of 7.34. The open reading frame-directed expression of TIMP-4 protein in MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer cells showed metalloproteinase inhibitory activity on reverse zymography. By Northern analysis, only the adult heart showed abundant TIMP-4 transcripts with a 1.4-kilobase predominant transcript band; very low levels of the transcripts were detected in the kidney, placenta, colon, and testes, and no transcripts were detected in the liver, brain, lung, thymus, and spleen. This unique expression pattern suggests that TIMP-4 may function in a tissue-specific fashion in extracellular matrix homeostasis.
