An essential role in molting and morphogenesis of Caenorhabditis elegans for ACN-1, a novel member of the angiotensis-converting enzyme family that lacks a metallopeptidase active site (2003)
Journal Article
Brooks, D., Appleford, P., Murray, L., & Isaac, R. (2003). An essential role in molting and morphogenesis of Caenorhabditis elegans for ACN-1, a novel member of the angiotensis-converting enzyme family that lacks a metallopeptidase active site. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 278(52), 52340-52346. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M308858200

Genome sequence analyses predict many proteins that are structurally related to proteases but lack catalytic residues, thus making functional assignment difficult. We show that one of these proteins (ACN-1), a unique multi-domain angiotensin-converti...
