Membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), a key enzyme in cell locomotion, is known to be primarily recruited to the leading edge of migrating cells. This raises a possibility that the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of MT1-MMP interacts with intracellular regulatory proteins, which modulate translocations of the protease across the cell. Here, we demonstrated that MT1-MMP via its cytoplasmic tail directly associates with a chaperone-like compartment-specific regulator gC1qR. Although a direct functional link between these two proteins remains uncertain, our observations suggest that the transient associations of gC1qR with the cytoplasmic tail of MT1-MMP are likely to be involved in the mechanisms regulating presentation of the protease at the tumor cell surface.
