Abstract
|
|
|
Neutral endopeptidase (NEP) is the major enzyme involved in the metabolic
inactivation of a number of bioactive peptides including the enkephalins,
substance P, endothelin, bradykinin and atrial natriuretic factor. Owing to the
physiological importance of NEP in the modulation of nociceptive and pressor
responses, there is considerable interest in inhibitors of this enzyme as novel
analgesics and antihypertensive agents. Here, the crystal structures of the
soluble extracellular domain of human NEP (residues 52-749) complexed with
various potent and competitive inhibitors are described. The structures
unambiguously reveal the binding mode of the different zinc-chelating groups and
the subsite specificity of the enzyme.
