Structures of human insulin-degrading enzyme reveal a new substrate recognition mechanism

Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), a Zn(2+)-metalloprotease, is involved in the clearance of insulin and amyloid-β (refs 1–3). Loss-of-function mutations of IDE in rodents cause glucose intolerance and cerebral accumulation of amyloid-β, whereas enhanced IDE activity effectively reduces brain amyloid-β...
