Publication Abstract from PubMed Saccharopepsin is a vacuolar aspartic proteinase involved in activation of a number of hydrolases. The enzyme has great structural homology to mammalian aspartic proteinases including human renin and we have used it as a model system to study the binding of renin inhibitors by X-ray crystallography. Five medium-to-high resolution structures of saccharopepsin complexed with transition-state analogue renin inhibitors were determined. The structure of a cyclic peptide inhibitor (PD-129,541) complexed with the proteinase was solved to 2.5 A resolution. This inhibitor has low affinity for human renin yet binds very tightly to the yeast proteinase (K(i)=4 nM). The high affinity of this inhibitor can be attributed to its bulky cyclic moiety spanning P(2)-P(3)' and other residues that appear to optimally fit the binding sub-sites of the enzyme. Superposition of the saccharopepsin structure on that of renin showed that a movement of the loop 286-301 relative to renin facilitates tighter binding of this inhibitor to saccharopepsin. Our 2.8 A resolution structure of the complex with CP-108,420 shows that its benzimidazole P(3 )replacement retains one of the standard hydrogen bonds that normally involve the inhibitor's main-chain. This suggests a non-peptide lead in overcoming the problem of susceptible peptide bonds in the design of aspartic proteinase inhibitors. CP-72,647 which possesses a basic histidine residue at P(2), has a high affinity for renin (K(i)=5 nM) but proves to be a poor inhibitor for saccharopepsin (K(i)=3.7 microM). This may stem from the fact that the histidine residue would not bind favourably with the predominantly hydrophobic S(2) sub-site of saccharopepsin.
