Figure Lengend Snippet: Recombinant LRP1 fragments of either Cluster II, III, or IV were immobilized to three individual flow cells of a CM5 sensor chip using an amine-reactive coupling process. SPR experiments tested binding of proMMP-1 (A) or TIMP-1 (B) to Cluster II (orange), III (blue), and IV (gray) with increasing concentrations of ligand (proMMP-1: 0.29, 0.58, 1.17, 2.34, 4.68, 9.38, 18.75, 37.5, 75, and 150 nM; TIMP-1: 0.58, 1.17, 2.34, 4.68, 9.38, 18.75, 37.5, 75, 150, and 300 nM). At each concentration, the binding association curves were fit to a pseudo-first order process. Req was estimated as the maximum number of response units at equilibrium for each concentration. Shown are the plots of Req versus ligand concentration. Data is plotted as mean ± SEM (n=3). The data were normalized to the amount of cluster coated on the CM5 sensor chip. GraphPad Prism 8.0 software was used to fit the data to the specific binding non-linear regression model to determine the KD of each ligand for each cluster. All calculated KD values are reported in Table 3.
