| UniProt functional annotation for P04825 | |||
| UniProt code: P04825. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Aminopeptidase N is involved in the degradation of intracellular peptides generated by protein breakdown during normal growth as well as in response to nutrient starvation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16885166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18416562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19622865, ECO:0000305|PubMed:20067529}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Release of an N-terminal amino acid, Xaa-|-Yaa- from a peptide, amide or arylamide. Xaa is preferably Ala, but may be most amino acids including Pro (slow action). When a terminal hydrophobic residue is followed by a prolyl residue, the two may be released as an intact Xaa-Pro dipeptide.; EC=3.4.11.2; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16885166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18416562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19622865}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16885166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18416562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19622865}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16885166, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18416562, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19622865}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | A quadruple peptidase disruption (pepA, pepB, pepD and pepN) does not grow in M9 minimal medium, does grow better when supplemented with casamino acids (PubMed:20067529). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20067529}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the peptidase M1 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
