Human neutrophil elastase (HNE), a trypsin-type serine protease, is of pivotal importance in the onset and progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD encompasses a group of slowly progressive respiratory disorders and is a major medical problem and the fifth leading cause of death worldwide. HNE is a major target for the development of compounds that inhibit the progression of long-term lung function decline in COPD patients. Here, we present the three-dimensional structure of a potent dihydropyrimidone inhibitor (DHPI) non-covalently bound to HNE at a resolution of 2.0 A. The inhibitor binds to the active site in a unique orientation addressing S1 and S2 subsites of the protease. To facilitate further analysis of this binding mode, we determined the structure of the uncomplexed enzyme at a resolution of 1.86 A. Detailed comparisons of the HNE:DHPI complex with the uncomplexed HNE structure and published structures of other elastase:inhibitor complexes revealed that binding of DHPI leads to large conformational changes in residues located in the S2 subsite. The rearrangement of residues Asp95-Leu99B creates a deep, well-defined cavity, which is filled by the P2 moiety of the inhibitor molecule to almost perfect shape complementarity. The shape of the S2 subsite in complex with DHPI clearly differs from all other observed HNE structures. The observed structural flexibility of the S2 subsite is a key feature for the understanding of the binding mode of DHPIs in general and the development of new HNE selective inhibitors.

Glycosylated human leukocyte elastase (HLE) was crystallized and structurally analysed in complex with a 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivative that had been identified as an HLE inhibitor in preliminary studies. In contrast to previously described HLE structures with small-molecule inhibitors, in this structure the inhibitor does not bind to the S1 and S2 substrate-recognition sites; rather, this is the first HLE structure with a synthetic inhibitor in which the S2' site is blocked that normally binds the second side chain at the C-terminal side of the scissile peptide bond in a substrate protein. The inhibitor also induces the formation of crystalline HLE dimers that block access to the active sites and that are also predicted to be stable in solution. Neither such HLE dimers nor the corresponding crystal packing have been observed in previous HLE crystal structures. This novel crystalline environment contributes to the observation that comparatively large parts of the N-glycan chains of HLE are defined by electron density. The final HLE structure contains the largest structurally defined carbohydrate trees among currently available HLE structures.
