General annotation (Comments)

Function

Degrades proteins damaged by L-isoaspartyl residue formation (also known as beta-Asp residues). Degrades L-isoaspartyl-containing di- and maybe also tripeptides. Also has L-asparaginase activity, although this may not be its principal function. Ref.5 Ref.8

May be involved in glutathione, and possibly other peptide, transport, although these results could also be due to polar effects of disruption. Ref.5 Ref.8

Catalytic activity

Cleavage of a beta-linked Asp residue from the N-terminus of a polypeptide.

Subunit structure

Heterotetramer of two alpha and two beta chains arranged as a dimer of alpha/beta heterodimers. Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.11

Induction

Repressed by cysteine, an effect that is attributed to CysB.

Post-translational modification

Autocleaved. Generates the alpha and beta subunits. The N-terminal residue of the beta subunit is thought to be responsible for the nucleophile hydrolase activity. Ref.5 Ref.7

Both subunits undergo further processing at their C-termini. The overexpressed alpha subunit seems to consist of residues 2-161, with an oxidized Met residue and a tighly coordinated Na+, whereas the overexpressed beta subunit is processed to residue 315 and has 3 oxidized Met residues. Processing of the alpha subunit is inhibited by Zn2+.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Ntn-hydrolase family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

No activity for GlcNAc-Asn, Gly-L-Asn, L-Asp, L-Asn-alpha-amide, L-Gln, aspartylglucosamides alpha- or gamma-aspartyl dipeptides.

KM=0.138 mM for beta-L-Asp-L-Leu Ref.9

KM=3.9 mM for L-Asn

Mass spectrometry

Molecular mass is 17091 Da from positions 2 - 161. Determined by ESI. Subunit alpha. Ref.9

Molecular mass is 13852 Da from positions 179 - 315. Determined by ESI. Subunit beta. Ref.9
