==Overview==
Human renal dipeptidase is a membrane-bound glycoprotein hydrolyzing, dipeptides and is involved in hydrolytic metabolism of penem and, carbapenem beta-lactam antibiotics. The crystal structures of the, saccharide-trimmed enzyme are determined as unliganded and, inhibitor-liganded forms. They are informative for designing new, antibiotics that are not hydrolyzed by this enzyme. The active site in, each of the (alpha/beta)(8) barrel subunits of the homodimeric molecule is, composed of binuclear zinc ions bridged by the Glu125 side-chain located, at the bottom of the barrel, and it faces toward the microvillar membrane, of a kidney tubule. A dipeptidyl moiety of the therapeutically used, cilastatin inhibitor is fully accommodated in the active-site pocket, which is small enough for precise recognition of dipeptide substrates. The, barrel and active-site architectures utilizing catalytic metal ions, exhibit unexpected similarities to those of the murine adenosine deaminase, and the catalytic domain of the bacterial urease.
