ENZYME entry: EC 3.5.1.122

Accepted Name
protein N-terminal glutamine amidohydrolase
Reaction catalysed
H2O + N-terminal L-glutaminyl-[protein] <=> N-terminal L-glutamyl-[protein] + NH4(+)
Comment(s)
  • 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.
