Neutral endopeptidase (neprilysin; NEP) is a proteinase that cleaves a wide variety of peptides and has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular conditions, arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. The structure of the soluble extracellular domain (residues 55-750) of rabbit neprilysin was solved both in its native form at 2.1 Å resolution, and bound to the inhibitors phosphoramidon and thiorphan at 2.8 and 3.0 Å resolution, respectively. Consistent with the extracellular domain of human neprilysin, the structure reveals a large central cavity which contains the active site and the location for inhibitor binding.
中性内肽酶(脑啡肽酶;NEP)是一种能切割多种肽类的蛋白酶,与阿尔茨海默病、心血管疾病、关节炎及其他炎症性疾病有关。兔脑啡肽酶可溶性细胞外结构域(第55 - 750位氨基酸残基)的结构已被解析,其天然形式的分辨率为2.1 Å,与抑制剂膦甲脒和硫氧苯丙氨酸结合时的分辨率分别为2.8 Å和3.0 Å。与人类脑啡肽酶的细胞外结构域一致,该结构显示出一个大的中央腔,其中包含活性位点和抑制剂结合位点。
