| UniProt functional annotation for Q01532 | |||
| UniProt code: Q01532. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | The normal physiological role of the enzyme is unknown, but it is not essential for the viability of yeast cells. Has aminopeptidase activity, shortening substrate peptides sequentially by 1 amino acid. Has bleomycin hydrolase activity, which can protect the cell from the toxic effects of bleomycin. Has homocysteine- thiolactonase activity, protecting the cell against homocysteine toxicity. Acts as a repressor in the GAL4 regulatory system, but this does not require either the peptidase or nucleic acid-binding activities. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12555812, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16769724}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Inactivates bleomycin B2 (a cytotoxic glycometallopeptide) by hydrolysis of a carboxyamide bond of beta-aminoalanine, but also shows general aminopeptidase activity. The specificity varies somewhat with source, but amino acid arylamides of Met, Leu and Ala are preferred.; EC=3.4.22.40; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by E64, a specific inhibitor of cysteine proteases, N-ethylmaleimide, iodacetamide, and mercury and zinc ions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1400467, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8463237}. | |
