ENZYME entry: EC 2.7.7.100

Accepted Name
SAMP-activating enzyme
Alternative Name(s)
SAMP-activating enzyme E1
Reaction catalysed
[small archaeal modifier protein]-C-terminal Gly-Gly + ATP + H(+) <=> [small archaeal modifier protein]-C-terminal Gly-Gly-AMP + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyzes the activation of SAMPs (Small Archaeal Modifier Proteins), which are ubiquitin-like proteins found only in the Archaea, by catalyzing the ATP-dependent formation of a SAMP adenylate in which the C-terminal glycine of SAMP is bound to AMP via an acyl-phosphate linkage.
  • The product of this activity can accept a sulfur atom to form a thiocarboxylate moiety that acts as a sulfur carrier involved in thiolation of tRNA and other metabolites such as molybdopterin.
  • Alternatively, the enzyme can also catalyze the transfer of SAMP from its activated form to an internal cysteine residue, leading to a process termed SAMPylation (see EC 6.2.1.55).
