Several soil-derived Actinobacteria produce secondary metabolites that are proven specific and potent inhibitors of the human angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE), a key target for the modulation of hypertension through its role in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. K-26-DCP is a zinc dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase (DCP) produced by Astrosporangium hypotensionis, and an ancestral homologue of ACE. Here we report the high-resolution crystal structures of K-26-DCP and of its complex with the ...[more]
