| Official Name |
|---|
| Bleomycin hydrolase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Aminopeptidase C (Lactococcus lactis). |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Inactivates bleomycin B2 (a cytotoxic glycometallopeptide) by hydrolysis of a carboxyamide bond of beta-aminoalanine, but also shows general aminopeptidase activity. The specificity varies somewhat with source, but amino acid arylamides of Met, Leu and Ala are preferred |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The active sites are on the walls of a central channel through the
molecule, and access of substrate molecules to them is obstructed by
this and by the C-terminus of each polypeptide chain.
- Bleomycin can scarcely be the natural substrate, and there are
reports of limited endopeptidase activity.
- Known from bacteria as well as eukaryotic organisms.
- Hydrolase H from chicken muscle has many similarities to bleomycin
hydrolase, but hydrolyzes Ph-CO-Arg-2-naphthylamine as well as
aminopeptidase substrates.
- Belongs to peptidase family C1.
