Taxonomic identifier

44689 [NCBI]

Taxonomic lineage

Eukaryota › Amoebozoa › Mycetozoa › Dictyosteliida › Dictyostelium

Protein attributes

Sequence length	360 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Responsible for the biosynthesis of pyroglutamyl peptides. Has a bias against acidic and tryptophan residues adjacent to the N-terminal glutaminyl residue and a lack of importance of chain length after the second residue. Also catalyzes N-terminal pyroglutamate formation By similarity.
Catalytic activity	L-glutaminyl-peptide = 5-oxoprolyl-peptide + NH(3).
Cofactor	Binds 1 zinc per subunit By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase family.
