Deeper understanding of the mechanism of the action of insulin and insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a central theme in research into physiology and the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Despite significant progress regarding the substrate recruitment, unfolding, digestion, and release by IDE, the structure and function of the insulin hexamer during the degradation cycle of IDE remain to be fully characterized. In the present study, we have characterized the behavior of human insulin hexamer in the absence of zinc. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we also observed that these hexamers represented a structure similar to that of T6 insulin. More interestingly, we also observed complexes in which some of their monomeric insulin components are partially distorted at their hexametric symmetry. This ensures that insulin determines the kinetics of its degradation by IDE without the requirement for zinc. These findings provide new information regarding the molecular events in insulin assembly and disassembly that permit its selective digestion by IDE.
