General annotation (Comments)

Function

Presumably involved in the processing and regular turnover of intracellular proteins. Catalyzes the removal of unsubstituted N-terminal amino acids from various peptides. Required for plasmid ColE1 site-specific recombination but not in its aminopeptidase activity. Could act as a structural component of the putative nucleoprotein complex in which the Xer recombination reaction takes place. HAMAP-Rule MF_00181

Catalytic activity

Release of an N-terminal amino acid, Xaa-|-Yaa-, in which Xaa is preferably Leu, but may be other amino acids including Pro although not Arg or Lys, and Yaa may be Pro. Amino acid amides and methyl esters are also readily hydrolyzed, but rates on arylamides are exceedingly low. HAMAP-Rule MF_00181

Release of an N-terminal amino acid, preferentially leucine, but not glutamic or aspartic acids.

Cofactor

Binds 2 manganese ions per subunit By similarity.

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by zinc and EDTA. HAMAP-Rule MF_00181

Subunit structure

Homohexamer.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M17 family.

Caution

The ligation for manganese is based on the ligation for zinc, an inhibitor, in the crystallographic structure reported in Ref.7. The ligation for manganese in the active form of the enzyme may differ.
