Enzyme Information

3.5.1.122
Protein N-terminal glutamine amidohydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q96HA8
N-terminal L-glutaminyl-[protein] + H(2)O = N-terminal L-glutamyl- [protein] + NH(3).
-!- This enzyme participates in the eukaryotic ubiquitin-dependent Arg/N-end rule pathway of protein degradation, promoting the turnover of intracellular proteins that initiate with Met-Gln. -!- Following the acetylation and removal of the initiator methionine, the exposed N-terminal glutamine is deaminated, resulting in its conversion to L-glutamate. -!- The latter serves as a substrate for EC 2.3.2.8 making the protein susceptible to arginylation, polyubiquitination and degradation as specified by the N-end rule.
