PG - 1064-73 AB - Functional deficiency or absence of the human von Willebrand factor (VWF)-cleaving protease (VWF-cp), recently termed ADAMTS13, has been shown to cause acquired and congenital thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), respectively. As a first step towards developing a small animal model of TTP, we have cloned the complete (non-truncated) murine Adamts13 gene from BALB/c mice liver poly A+ mRNA. Murine ADAMTS13 is a 1426-amino-acid protein with a high homology and similar structural organization to the human ortholog. Transient expression of the murine Adamts13 cDNA in HEK 293 cells yielded a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 180 kDa which degraded recombinant murine VWF (rVWF) in a dose-dependent manner. The cleavage products of murine rVWF had the expected size of 140 and 170 kDa. Murine ADAMTS13 was inhibited by EDTA and the plasma from a TTP patient.
