Structural basis for prolidase deficiency disease mechanisms.

Abstract excerpt

Prolidase is a metallopeptidase that cleaves iminodipeptides containing a proline (Pro) or hydroxyproline (Hyp) residue at their C-terminal end. The disease prolidase deficiency (PD) is a rare recessive human disorder characterized by reduced prolidase activity. PD manifests itself by a wide range of severe clinical symptoms, most commonly as skin ulceration, recurrent infections of the respiratory tract, and...
