Enzyme Information

3.4.23.44
Nodavirus endopeptidase.
based on mapping to UniProt P12870
Hydrolysis of an asparaginyl bond involved in the maturation of the structural protein of the virus, typically -Asn-|-Ala- or -Asn-|-Phe-.
-!- A single aspartic residue is critical for activity, and inhibition by EDTA indicates that a metal ion is also important. -!- The enzyme is known from several nodaviruses that are pathogens of insects. -!- Belongs to peptidase family A6.
