Abstract Dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase from Escherichia coli (EcDcp) is a zinc metallopeptidase with catalytic properties closely resembling those of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). However, EcDcp and ACE are classified in different enzyme families (M3 and M2, respectively) due to differences in their primary sequences. We cloned and expressed EcDcp and studied in detail the enzyme's S3 to S1′ substrate specificity using positional-scanning synthetic combinatorial (PS-SC) libraries of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) peptides. These peptides contain ortho-aminobenzoic acid (Abz) and 2,4-dinitrophenyl (Dnp) as donor/acceptor pair. In addition, using FRET substrates developed for ACE [Abz-FRK(Dnp)P-OH, Abz-SDK(Dnp)P-OH and Abz-LFK(Dnp)-OH] as well as natural ACE substrates (angiotensin I, bradykinin, and Ac-SDKP-OH), we show that EcDcp has catalytic properties very similar to human testis ACE. EcDcp inhibition studies were performed with the ACE inhibitors captopril (K i=3 nm) and lisinopril (K i=4.4 μm) and with two C-domain-selective ACE inhibitors, 5-S-5-benzamido-4-oxo-6-phenylhexanoyl-L-tryptophan (kAW; K i=22.0 μm) and lisinopril-Trp (K i=0.8 nm). Molecular modeling was used to provide the basis for the differences found in the inhibitors potency. The phylogenetic relationship of EcDcp and related enzymes belonging to the M3 and M2 families was also investigated and the results corroborate the distinct origins of EcDcp and ACE.

Drosophila melanogaster angiotensin I-converting enzyme (AnCE) is a secreted single-domain homologue of mammalian angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) which comprises two domains (N and C domains). In order to characterize in detail the enzymic properties of AnCE and to study the influence of glycosylation on the secretion and enzymic activity of this enzyme, we overexpressed AnCE (expression level, 160 mg/l) and an unglycosylated mutant (expression level, 43 mg/l) in the yeast Pichia pastoris. The recombinant enzyme was apparently homogeneous on SDS/PAGE without purification and partial deglycosylation demonstrated that all three potential sites for N-linked glycosylation were occupied by oligosaccharide chains. Each N-glycosylation sequence (Asn-Xaa-Ser/Thr) was disrupted by substituting a glutamine for the asparagine residue at amino acid positions 53, 196 and 311 by site-directed mutagenesis to produce a single mutant. Expression of the unglycosylated mutant in Pichia produced a secreted catalytically active enzyme (AnCEΔCHO). This mutant displayed unaltered kinetics for the hydrolyses of hippuryl-His-Leu, angiotensin I and N-acetyl-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro (AcSDKP) and was equally sensitive to ACE inhibitors compared with wild-type AnCE. However, AnCEΔCHO was less stable, displaying a half-life of 4.94 h at 37 °C, compared with AnCE which retained full activity under the same conditions. Two catalytic criteria demonstrate the functional resemblance of AnCE with the human ACE C domain: first, the kcat/Km of AcSDKP hydrolysis and secondly, the kcat/Km and optimal chloride concentration for hippuryl-His-Leu hydrolysis. A range of ACE inhibitors were far less potent towards AnCE compared with the human ACE domains, except for captopril which suggests an alternative structure in AnCE corresponding to the region of the S1 subsite in the human ACE active sites.
