Rat endothelin-converting enzyme-1 forms a dimer through Cys412 with a similar catalytic mechanism and a distinct substrate binding mechanism compared with neutral endopeptidase-24.11.

Endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1) is involved in the conversion of big endothelins (big ETs) into endothelins (ETs) and shows sequence similarity with neutral endopeptidase-24.11 (NEP). Unlike NEP, ECE-1 exists as a disulphide-linked dimer. Here we reveal that Cys412 is solely responsible for t...
