IPR011356

Description

IPR011356 is a Peptidase M17, leucine aminopeptidase/peptidase B.

<p>The majority of members of this family are zinc-dependent exopeptidases belonging to MEROPS peptidase family M17 (leucyl aminopeptidase, clan MF).</p> <p>Leucyl aminopeptidase (LAP; [ec:3.4.11.1]) selectively release N-terminal amino acid residues from polypeptides and proteins; in general they are involved in the processing, catabolism and degradation of intracellular proteins [[cite:PUB00011211], [cite:PUB00001416], [cite:PUB00004713]]. Leucyl aminopeptidase forms a homohexamer containing two trimers stacked on top of one another [[cite:PUB00004713]]. Each monomer binds two zinc ions. The zinc-binding and catalytic sites are located within the C-terminal catalytic domain [[cite:PUB00004713]]. Leucine aminopeptidase has been shown to be identical with prolyl aminopeptidase ([ec:3.4.11.5]) in mammals [[cite:PUB00000202]].</p>

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Molecular function Aminopeptidase activity Catalysis of the hydrolysis of N-terminal amino acid residues from in a polypeptide chain.
Cellular component Cytoplasm All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
Molecular function Metalloexopeptidase activity Catalysis of the hydrolysis of a peptide bond not more than three residues from the N- or C-terminus of a polypeptide chain by a mechanism in which water acts as a nucleophile, one or two metal ions hold the water molecule in place, and charged amino acid side chains are ligands for the metal ions.
Biological process Protein metabolic process The chemical reactions and pathways involving a protein. Includes protein modification.
Molecular function Manganese ion binding Interacting selectively and non-covalently with manganese (Mn) ions.
