Hydrolysis of Biological Peptides by Human Angiotensin-converting Enzyme-related Carboxypeptidase

Abstract: Human angiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase (ACE2) is a zinc metalloprotease whose closest homolog is angiotensin I-converting enzyme. To begin to elucidate the physiological role of ACE2, ACE2 was purified, and its catalytic activity was characterized. ACE2 proteolytic activity has a pH optimum of 6.5 and is enhanced by monovalent anions, which is consistent with the activity of ACE. ACE2 activity is increased ϳ10-fold by Cl ؊ and F ؊ but is unaffected by Br ؊ . ACE2 was screened for hydrolyt… Show more

“…Blood vessels are an important target for the actions of Ang peptides. Ang II is converted to Ang 1-7 by angiotensin converting enzyme-2 in the endothelial cells [21,22]. The vascular action of Ang 1-7 is vasodilation; therefore the opposite to Ang II induce vasoconsriction.…”

“…ACE2 shares 42% sequence identity to the catalytic domain of ACE (Vickers et al 2002;Towler et al 2004); however, it is insensitive to ACE inhibitors. ACE2 mediates the conversion of Ang I to angiotensin-(1-9) [Ang-(1-9)]-which can be metabolized into Ang-(1-7) by ACE-as well as the conversion of Ang II into Ang-(1-7).…”

“…Indeed, a balance of the two peptides may be required to circumvent many cardiovascular processes. Both ACE2 and prolyl oligopeptidase (POP), since they mediate the direct conversion of Ang II into Ang-(1-7) (Koida and Walter 1976;Vickers et al 2002), may work to regulate and balance the levels of the two peptides (Fig. 2).…”

“…ACE is the main enzyme that is responsible for the conversion of ANG I into ANG II, and ACE2 then cleaves ANG II into ANG-(1-7) [163]. Furthermore, ACE2 forms ANG-(1-9) from ANG I, and ANG-(1-9) can be converted into ANG-(1-7) by ACE [119].…”
