Abstract excerpt
The aminoacylase-1/metallopeptidase 20 (Acy1/M20) family is the largest metallopeptidase family. Several crystal structures feature a metal-binding and a dimerization-mediating domain, both arranged in an extended open conformation. We have recently shown [Lindner et al. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 44496-44504] that in human Acy1 the invariant residues Glu147 and His206 from the metal-binding and the dimerization...
