Collagen XVII, a type II transmembrane protein and epithelial adhesion molecule, can be proteolytically shed from the cell surface to generate a soluble collagen. Here we investigated the release of the ecto-domain and identified the enzymes involved. After surface biotinylation of keratinocytes, the ectodomain was detectable in the medium within minutes and remained stable for >48 h. Shedding was enhanced by phorbol esters and inhibited by metalloprotease inhibitors, including hydroxamates and TIMP-3, but not by inhibitors of other protease classes or by TIMP-2. This profile implicated MMPs or ADAMs as candidate sheddases. MMP-2, MMP-9 and MT1-MMP were excluded, but TACE, ADAM-10 and ADAM-9 were shown to be expressed in keratinocytes and to be actively involved. Transfection with cDNAs for the three ADAMs resulted in increased shedding and, vice versa, in TACE-deficient cells shedding was significantly reduced, indicating that transmembrane collagen XVII represents a novel class of substrates for ADAMs. Functionally, release of the ectodomain of collagen XVII from the cell surface was associated with altered keratinocyte motility in vitro.
