Aminopeptidase B, a glucagon-processing enzyme: site directed mutagenesis of the Zn(2+)-binding motif and molecular modelling

BACKGROUND: Aminopeptidase B (Ap-B; EC 3.4.11.6) catalyzes the cleavage of basic residues at the N-terminus of peptides and processes glucagon into miniglucagon. The enzyme exhibits, in vitro, a residual ability to hydrolyze leukotriene A(4 )into the pro-inflammatory lipid mediator leukotriene B(4)....
