Abstract
The insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is an evolutionarily conserved protease implicated in the degradation of insulin and amyloidogenic peptides. Most of the biochemical and biophysical characterization of IDE's catalytic activity has been conducted using solutions containing a single substrate, i.e., insulin or Aβ(1-40). IDE's activity toward a particular substrate, however, is likely to be influenced by the presence of other substrates. Here, we show by a kinetic assay based on insulin's helical circular dichroic signal and MALDI TOF mass spectrometry that Aβ peptides modulate IDE's activity toward insulin in opposing ways. Aβ(1-40) enhances IDE-dependent degradation of insulin, whereas Aβ(pyroE3-42), the most pathogenic pyroglutamate-modified Aβ peptide in AD, inhibits IDE's activity. Intriguingly, Aβ(pyroE3-42) also inhibits IDE's ability to degrade Aβ(1-40). Together, our results implicate Aβ peptides in the abnormal catabolism of IDE's key substrates.

Abstract
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is an evolutionarily conserved ubiquitous zinc metalloprotease implicated in the efficient degradation of insulin monomer. However, IDE also degrades monomers of amyloidogenic peptides associated with disease, complicating the development of IDE inhibitors. In this work, we investigated the effects of the lipid composition of membranes on the IDE-dependent degradation of insulin. Kinetic analysis based on chromatography and insulin's helical circular dichroic signal showed that the presence of anionic lipids in membranes enhances IDE's activity toward insulin. Using NMR spectroscopy, we discovered that exchange broadening underlies the enhancement of IDE's activity. These findings, together with the adverse effects of anionic membranes in the self-assembly of IDE's amyloidogenic substrates, suggest that the lipid composition of membranes is a key determinant of IDE's ability to balance the levels of its physiologically and pathologically relevant substrates and achieve proteostasis.

Abstract
Insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) is a zinc metalloprotease that cleaves numerous substrates among which amyloid-β and insulin. It has been linked through genetic studies to the risk of type-2 diabetes (T2D) or Alzheimer's disease (AD). Pharmacological activation of IDE is an attractive therapeutic strategy in AD. While IDE inhibition gave paradoxal activity in glucose homeostasis, recent studies, in particular in the liver suggest that IDE activators could be also of interest in diabetes. Here we describe the discovery of an original series of IDE activators by screening and structure-activity relationships. Early cellular studies show that hit 1 decreases glucose-stimulating insulin secretion. Docking studies revealed it has an unprecedented extended binding to the polyanion-binding site of IDE. These indole-based pharmacological tools are activators of both Aβ and insulin hydrolysis by IDE and could be helpful to explore the multiple roles of IDE.

Abstract
The insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) possesses a strong ability to degrade insulin and Aβ42 that has been linked to the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Given this, an attractive IDE-centric strategy for the development of therapeutics for AD is to boost IDE's activity for the clearance of Aβ42 without offsetting insulin proteostasis. Recently, we showed that resveratrol enhances IDE's activity toward Aβ42. In this work, we used a combination of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques to investigate the effects of resveratrol on IDE's activity toward insulin. For comparison, we also studied epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Our results show that the two polyphenols affect the IDE-dependent degradation of insulin in different ways: EGCG inhibits IDE while resveratrol has no effect. These findings suggest that polyphenols provide a path for developing therapeutic strategies that can selectively target IDE substrate specificity.

Modulation of Insulin Sensitivity by Insulin-Degrading Enzyme. Biomedicines 2021; 9:biomedicines9010086.

Abstract
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed metalloprotease that degrades insulin and several other intermediate-size peptides. For many decades, IDE had been assumed to be involved primarily in hepatic insulin clearance, a key process that regulates availability of circulating insulin levels for peripheral tissues. Emerging evidence, however, suggests that IDE has several other important physiological functions relevant to glucose and insulin homeostasis, including the regulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. Investigation of mice with tissue-specific genetic deletion of Ide in the liver and pancreatic β-cells (L-IDE-KO and B-IDE-KO mice, respectively) has revealed additional roles for IDE in the regulation of hepatic insulin action and sensitivity. In this review, we discuss current knowledge about IDE’s function as a regulator of insulin secretion and hepatic insulin sensitivity, both evaluating the classical view of IDE as an insulin protease and also exploring evidence for several non-proteolytic functions. Insulin proteostasis and insulin sensitivity have both been highlighted as targets controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes, so a clearer understanding the physiological functions of IDE in pancreas and liver could led to the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of this disease.

Abstract
Many computational models for analyzing and predicting cell physiology rely on in vitro data collected in dilute and controlled buffer solutions. However, this can mislead models because up to 40% of the intracellular volume—depending on the organism, the physiology, and the cellular compartment—is occupied by a dense mixture of proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, RNA, and DNA. These intracellular macromolecules interfere with the interactions of enzymes and their reactants and thus affect the kinetics of biochemical reactions, making in vivo reactions considerably more complex than the in vitro data indicates. In this work, we present a new, to our knowledge, type of kinetics that captures and quantifies the effect of volume exclusion and other spatial phenomena on the kinetics of elementary reactions. We further developed a framework that allows for the efficient parameterization of these kinetics using particle simulations. Our formulation, entitled generalized elementary kinetics, can be used to analyze and predict the effect of intracellular crowding on enzymatic reactions and was herein applied to investigate the influence of crowding on phosphoglycerate mutase in Escherichia coli, which exhibits prototypical reversible Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Current research indicates that many enzymes are reaction limited and not diffusion limited, and our results suggest that the influence of fractal diffusion is minimal for these reaction-limited enzymes. Instead, increased association rates and decreased dissociation rates lead to a strong decrease in the effective maximal velocities Vmax and the effective Michaelis-Menten constants KM under physiologically relevant volume occupancies. Finally, the effects of crowding were explored in the context of a linear pathway, with the finding that crowding can have a redistributing effect on the effective flux responses in the case of twofold enzyme overexpression. We suggest that this framework, in combination with detailed kinetics models, will improve our understanding of enzyme reaction networks under nonideal conditions.

Commentary on Ivancic et al.: Enzyme kinetics from circular dichroism of insulin reveals mechanistic insights into the regulation of insulin-degrading enzyme. Biosci Rep 2018; 38:BSR20181555.

Abstract
Despite the enormous number of therapeutic advances in medicine, nowadays many diseases are still incurable, mainly due to the lack of knowledge of the pathological biochemical pathways triggering those diseases. For this reason, it is compulsory for the scientific community to investigate and unveil the biomolecular mechanisms responsible for the development of those diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, which are widespread all over the world. In this scenario, it is of paramount importance to develop new analytical techniques and experimental procedures that are capable to make the above-mentioned investigations feasible. These new methods should allow easy performable analysis carried out in a label-free environment, in order to give reliable answers to specific biochemical questions. A recent paper published on Bioscience Reports by Ivancic et al. (https://doi.org/10.1042/BSR20181416) proposes a new analytical technique capable to reveal some mechanistic insights into the regulation of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE), a protein involved in the above-mentioned diseases. IDE is a multifaceted enzyme having different and not well-defined roles in the cell, but it is primarily a proteolytic enzyme capable to degrade several different amyloidogenic substrates involved in different diseases. Moreover, many molecules are responsible for IDE activity modulation so that understanding how IDE activity is regulated represents a very challenging analytical task. The new analytical approach proposed by Ivancic et al. reports on the possibility to study IDE activity in an unbiased and label-free manner, representing a valid alternative assay for the investigation of any proteases degradative activity.
