Function

LCAP_HUMAN Release of an N-terminal amino acid, cleaves before cysteine, leucine as well as other amino acids. Degrades peptide hormones such as oxytocin, vasopressin and angiotensin III, and plays a role in maintaining homeostasis during pregnancy. May be involved in the inactivation of neuronal peptides in the brain. Cleaves Met-enkephalin and dynorphin. Binds angiotensin IV and may be the angiotensin IV receptor in the brain.^[1] ^[2] ^[3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP) is an enzyme with several important biological functions that is known to process a large variety of different peptidic substrates, although the mechanism behind this wide specificity is not clearly understood. We describe a crystal structure of IRAP in complex with a recently developed bioactive and selective inhibitor at 2.53 A resolution. In the presence of this inhibitor, the enzyme adopts a novel conformation in which domains II and IV are juxtaposed, forming a hollow structure that excludes external solvent access to the catalytic center. A loop adjacent to the enzyme's GAMEN motif undergoes structural reconfiguration, allowing the accommodation of bulky inhibitor side chains. Atomic interactions between the inhibitor and IRAP that are unique to this conformation can explain the strong selectivity compared to homologous aminopeptidases ERAP1 and ERAP2. This conformation provides insight on IRAP's catalytic cycle and reveals significant active-site plasticity that may underlie its substrate permissiveness.
