Taxonomic identifier186497 [NCBI]
Taxonomic lineageArchaeaEuryarchaeotaThermococciThermococcalesThermococcaceaePyrococcus

Protein attributes

Sequence length295 AA.
Sequence statusComplete.
Protein existenceEvidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Removes the amino-terminal methionine from nascent proteins.

Catalytic activity

Release of N-terminal amino acids, preferentially methionine, from peptides and arylamides.

Cofactor

Binds 2 cobalt ions per subunit. The true nature of the physiological cofactor is under debate. The enzyme is also active with zinc, manganese or divalent iron ions.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M24A family.

Biophysicochemical properties

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 7-8.

Temperature dependence:

Optimum temperature is about 90 degrees Celsius.

Mass spectrometry

Molecular mass is 32848 Da from positions 1 - 295. Determined by ESI. Ref.2
