| UniProt functional annotation for Q972K9 | |||
| UniProt code: Q972K9. |
| Organism: | Sulfurisphaera tokodaii (strain DSM 16993 / JCM 10545 / NBRC 100140 / 7) (Sulfolobus tokodaii). | |
| Taxonomy: | Archaea; Crenarchaeota; Thermoprotei; Sulfolobales; Sulfolobaceae; Sulfurisphaera. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the methyl esterification of L-isoaspartyl residues in peptides and proteins that result from spontaneous decomposition of normal L-aspartyl and L-asparaginyl residues. It plays a role in the repair and/or degradation of damaged proteins. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00003862}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=[protein]-L-beta-isoaspartate + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = [protein]-L-beta-isoaspartate alpha-methyl ester + S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:12705, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12143, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:12144, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:90596, ChEBI:CHEBI:90598; EC=2.1.1.77; Evidence={ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00000846}; | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. L- isoaspartyl/D-aspartyl protein methyltransferase family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00005369}. | |
