A novel metalloproteinase with similarity to pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), which we denoted PAPP-A2, has been identified. Through expression in mammalian cells we showed that recombinant PAPP-A2 polypeptide of 1558 residues resulted from processing of a 1791-residue prepro-protein. Unlike PAPP-A, PAPP-A2 migrated as a monomer (of 220 kDa) in non-reducing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The prepro-parts of PAPP-A2 and PAPP-A are not homologous, but mature PAPP-A2 shares 45% of its residues with PAPP-A. Because PAPP-A specifically cleaves insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-4, one of six known modulators of IGF-I and -II, we looked for a possible PAPP-A2 substrate among the members of this family. We showed that PAPP-A2 specifically cleaved IGFBP-5 at one site, between Ser-143 and Lys-144. In contrast to the cleavage of IGFBP-4 by PAPP-A that strictly requires the presence of IGF, the cleavage of IGFBP-5 by PAPP-A2 was IGF-independent. Recent data firmly establish PAPP-A and IGFBP-4 as an important functional pair in several systems. Because of its close relationship with PAPP-A, both structurally and functionally, PAPP-A2 is a likely candidate IGFBP-5 proteinase in many tissues and conditioned media where IGFBP-5 proteolysis has been reported.
