Human renin in complex with remikiren
Structural highlights
DiseaseRENI_HUMAN Defects in REN are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430. RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).[1] Defects in REN are the cause of familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy type 2 (HNFJ2) [MIM:613092. It is a renal disease characterized by juvenile onset of hyperuricemia, slowly progressive renal failure and anemia.[2] FunctionRENI_HUMAN Renin is a highly specific endopeptidase, whose only known function is to generate angiotensin I from angiotensinogen in the plasma, initiating a cascade of reactions that produce an elevation of blood pressure and increased sodium retention by the kidney.

Publication Abstract from PubMedHuman renin has been expressed in Sf9 and CHO cells using two different gene constructs. The first construct contained a foreign signal peptide fused directly to the sequence encoding mature renin, whereas the second construct harbors the sequence for preprorenin. Prorenin was produced in significantly higher amounts than the mature enzyme expressed without its propeptide in both expression systems. Both directly expressed mature renin and proteolytically derived active renin have been purified and cocrystallized with the renin inhibitor Ro 42-5892. The 3D structure has been solved for both versions and demonstrates identity despite different glycosylation and different N termini.
