QPCT

Functionⁱ

Responsible for the biosynthesis of pyroglutamyl peptides. Has a bias against acidic and tryptophan residues adjacent to the N-terminal glutaminyl residue and a lack of importance of chain length after the second residue. Also catalyzes N-terminal pyroglutamate formation. In vitro, catalyzes pyroglutamate formation of N-terminally truncated form of APP amyloid-beta peptides [Glu-3]-amyloid-beta. May be involved in the N-terminal pyroglutamate formation of several amyloid-related plaque-forming peptides.3 Publications

Caution

It is unclear whether this protein requires a metal cofactor for catalysis. It was originally proposed to be a Zn²⁺-dependent metalloenzyme based on structural similarities to bacterial aminopeptidases and the observation that it can bind Zn²⁺ ions, typically in a 1:1 stoichiometry (PubMed:18072935, PubMed:21288892). However, a recent study suggests a Zn²⁺-independent catalytic mechanism (By similarity).By similarityCurated2 Publications
