FunFam 16645: Putative Mitochondrial presequence protease

There are 3 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Mitochondrial processing peptidase. [EC: 3.4.24.64]
Release of N-terminal transit peptides from precursor proteins imported into the mitochondrion, typically with Arg in position P2.
  • Known from the mitochondrial matrix of fungi and mammals.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M16.
  • Formerly EC 3.4.99.41.
2 D5V8M0 D5V8M0
Exodeoxyribonuclease V. [EC: 3.1.11.5]
Exonucleolytic cleavage (in the presence of ATP) in either 5'- to 3'- or 3'- to 5'-direction to yield 5'-phosphooligonucleotides.
  • Preference for double-stranded DNA.
  • Possesses DNA-dependent ATPase activity.
  • Acts endonucleolytically on single-stranded circular DNA.
  • Similar enzyme: Haemophilus influenzae ATP-dependent DNase.
2 G0QLI8 G0QLI8
S-ribosylhomocysteine lyase. [EC: 4.4.1.21]
S-(5-deoxy-D-ribos-5-yl)-L-homocysteine = L-homocysteine + (4S)-4,5- dihydroxypentan-2,3-dione.
  • The 4,5-dihydroxypentan-2,3-dione formed spontaneously cyclizes and combines with borate to form an autoinducer (AI-2) in the bacterial quorum-sensing mechanism, which is used by many bacteria to control gene expression in response to cell density.
  • Formerly EC 3.2.1.148 and EC 3.3.1.3.
