Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Structural Biology
  • Enzymology

Context:

  • The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a critical role in regulating blood pressure and electrolyte balance.
  • Renin and prorenin structures have been extensively studied.
  • Understanding renin's 3D structure is vital for rational antihypertensive drug design.

Purpose:

  • To review investigations into the three-dimensional structure of human and mouse renins.
  • To highlight structural similarities and differences compared to other aspartic proteinases.
  • To provide insights into renin's active site and subsites for drug development.

Summary:

  • Reviews of human and mouse renin structures reveal conserved overall topology.
  • The active site cleft in renins is less open compared to other aspartic proteinases.
