Insect peptidyl-dipeptidase A [angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE)] is a soluble single-domain peptidyl-dipeptidase that has many properties in common with the C-domain of mammalian somatic ACE and with the single-domain mammalian germinal ACE. Mammalian somatic ACE is important in blood homoeostasis, but the role of ACE in insects is not known. Immunocytochemistry has been used to localize ACE in the neuroendocrine system of the locust, Locusta migratoria. Staining was observed in five groups of neurosecretory cells in the brain and suboesophageal ganglion, in the nervi corpori cardiaci, the storage part of the corpora cardiaca and in the nervi corpori allati. In three groups of neurosecretory cells, ACE co-localized with locustamyotropins, suggesting a possible role for the enzyme in the metabolism of these neuropeptides. We demonstrate in vitro a novel activity of ACE that removes pairs of basic amino acid residues from a locustamyotropin peptide extended at the C-terminus with either Gly-Lys-Arg or Gly-Arg-Arg, corresponding to a consensus recognition sequence for endoproteolysis of prohormone proteins by prohormone convertases. The low Km and high kcat values (Km 7.3 and 5.0 μM, kcat 226 and 207 s-1 for the hydrolysis of Phe-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Gly-Lys-Arg and Phe-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Gly-Arg-Arg, respectively) obtained for the hydrolysis of these two peptides by insect ACE means that these peptides, along with mammalian bradykinin, are the most favoured in vitro ACE substrates so far identified. The discovery of this in vitro prohormone-processing activity of insect ACE provides a possible explanation for the intracellular co-localization of the enzyme with locustamyotropin peptides, and provides evidence for a new role for ACE in the biosynthesis of peptide hormones and transmitters.

The multivesicular liposome (MVL) provides a potential delivery approach to avoid the destruction of the structure of drugs by digestive enzymes of the oral cavity and gastrointestinal system. It also serves as a sustained-release drug delivery system. In this study, we aimed to incorporate a water-soluble substance into MVLs to enhance sustained release, prevent the destruction of drugs, and to expound the function of different components and their mechanism. MVLs were prepared using the spherical packing model. The morphology, structure, size distribution, and zeta potential of MVLs were examined using an optical microscope (OM), confocal microscopy (CLSM), transmission electron cryomicroscope (cryo-EM) micrograph, a Master Sizer 2000, and a zeta sizer, respectively. The digestion experiment was conducted using a bionic mouse digestive system model in vitro. An in vitro release and releasing mechanism were investigated using a dialysis method. The average particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and encapsulation efficiency are 47.6 nm, 1.880, −70.5 ± 2.88 mV, and 82.00 ± 0.25%, respectively. The studies on the controlled release in vitro shows that MVLs have excellent controlled release and outstanding thermal stability. The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of ACE-inhibitory peptide (AP)-MVLs decreased only 2.84% after oral administration, and ACE inhibitory activity decreased by 5.03% after passing through the stomach. Therefore, it could serve as a promising sustained-release drug delivery system.
