Citation | Journal: Cell Rep / Year: 2025Title: Three cryo-EM structures of CD109 reveal its mechanism of protease inhibition. Authors: Ana V Almeida / Kathrine T Jensen / Seandean L Harwood / Martin H Jørgensen / Nadia S Nielsen / Ida B Thøgersen / Jan J Enghild / Gregers R Andersen / ![]() Abstract: CD109 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein. In addition to regulating transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) network signaling, CD109 is also a protease inhibitor. Protease cleavage of ...CD109 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein. In addition to regulating transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) network signaling, CD109 is also a protease inhibitor. Protease cleavage of its bait region triggers a conformational change releasing the major fragment from the cell surface, exposing a reactive thioester that can conjugate proteases. To understand this protease inhibition mechanism, we determined cryoelectron microscopy structures of CD109 in native, protease-activated, and methylamine-activated conformations. Despite CD109's low sequence similarity with the protease inhibitor A2ML1, CD109 adopts a similar protease-activated conformation, suggesting a shared mechanism of protease inhibition. Deglycosylation of CD109 does not affect chymotrypsin conjugation but enhances substrate access, suggesting that CD109 glycans contribute to protease inhibition. Our data provide a structural basis for understanding CD109's protease-triggered membrane release, its protease inhibitory mechanism, and additional biological functions. | |||||||||||||||||||||
