Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) is composed of two highly similar domains called the N and C domains, which display some contrasting enzymatic properties. We constructed two ACE chimeras: chimera 1, comprised of the N domain containing the central 60 amino acid residues of the C domain, and chimera 2, comprised of the C domain containing the central 60 amino acid residues of the N domain. Chimeras 1 and 2 displayed K(m) values for Hip-His-Leu and Z-Phe-His-Leu and k(cat) ratios for these two substrates similar to that of the N and C domains, respectively. Thus, the short sequence exchanged between the two domains does not confer the specific properties of that domain for these two substrates but, rather, such specific properties must arise from the sequences surrounding the central region in each domain.

Page/Page column 8-9, (2008/06/13)
The present invention provides a Dpp4 inhibitor which comprises a leucine derivative of the following formula (1) or a methionine derivative of the following formula (2): wherein each R1 and R3 represents a hydrogen atom (H) and an L-amino acid residue; R2 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline, alanine and phenylalanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide, alanine amide and phenylalanine amide) residue; and R4 represents a hydroxyl group (OH), alkoxy group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, amino group (NH2), alkylamino group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, glycine residue, β-alanine residue, L-amino acid (except for proline and alanine) residue or L-amino-acid amide (except for proline amide and alanine amide) residue. These derivatives also act as autophagy regulators.
