Site-directed mutagenesis of N-TIMP2 for incorporation of a NCAA. (A) Chemical structures of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) and (8-hydroxyquinolin-3-yl)alanine (HqAla). (B) The available crystal structures of bovine TIMP2 (green) in complex with human MMP-14 (cyan, left) (PDB: 1BUV) and human TIMP2 (green) in complex with human MMP-10 (purple, right) (PDB: 4ILW) are used to illustrate the positions and environment of the mutated residues. The latter complex shows human N-TIMP2 with Ser in position 69. The selected mutated N-TIMP2 positions and their side chains are indicated (oxygen atoms of the side chains are colored in red).
