UniProt functional annotation for Q02724

UniProt code: Q02724.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Protease that catalyzes two essential functions in the SUMO pathway: processing of full-length SMT3 to its mature form and deconjugation of SMT3 from targeted proteins. Has an essential role in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10094048}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Hydrolysis of the alpha-linked peptide bond in the sequence Gly-Gly-|-Ala-Thr-Tyr at the C-terminal end of the small ubiquitin- like modifier (SUMO) propeptide, Smt3, leading to the mature form of the protein. A second reaction involves the cleavage of an epsilon- linked peptide bond between the C-terminal glycine of the mature SUMO and the lysine epsilon-amino group of the target protein.; EC=3.4.22.68; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10882122};
Miscellaneous: Present with 377 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase C48 family. {ECO:0000305}.
