Background: LEKTI/SPINK5

LEKTI, encoded by the SPINK5 gene, is a 145 kDa glycosylated serine proteinase inhibitor that contains 15 Kazal-like domains (D1-15) (1). Mutations in SPINK5 and loss of its expression are associated with the development of various skin disorders such as Netherton syndrome, atopic eczema, and atopic dermatitis (2-4). Alternative splicing of human LEKTI generates a 148 kDa isoform with an insertion between D13 and D14, and a 125 kDa isoform which is truncated following D13 (4, 5). Intracellular Furin-mediated cleavage of LEKTI isoforms between domains D9 and D10 generates multiple secreted fragments (4, 6, 7). Within domains D10-15, human LEKTI shares 61% and 63% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat LEKTI, respectively. Additional LEKTI-derived peptides are found in blood ultrafiltrate (1). LEKTI is primarily expressed in differentiated keratinocytes (4, 8) but is also expressed in the pituitary (9). LEKTI and its fragments can inhibit a range of serine proteases including Kallikreins, Plasmin, Subtilisin A, Cathepsin G, Elastase, and Trypsin (9, 10). Of particular importance in the skin, LEKTI regulates the ability of KLK5, KLK7, and KLK14 to degrade the desmosomal proteins Desmoglein-1 and Desmoplakin-1 during desquamation (3, 6, 7, 11). The D10-15 fragment can inhibit both KLK5 and KLK7 (11) and in turn can be degraded by KLK7 (7). Trypsin-1/PRSS1 promotes KLK5 and KLK7 activity by cleaving the zymogen forms of those proteases and also by degrading multiple LEKTI fragments, including D10-15 (11).
