Zinc peptidases M18, M20, M28, and M42; Zinc peptidases play vital roles in metabolic and signaling pathways throughout all kingdoms of life. This hierarchy contains zinc peptidases that correspond to the MH clan in the MEROPS database, which contains 4 families (M18, M20, M28, M42). The peptidase M20 family includes carboxypeptidases such as the glutamate carboxypeptidase from Pseudomonas, the thermostable carboxypeptidase Ss1 of broad specificity from archaea and yeast Gly-X carboxypeptidase. The dipeptidases include bacterial dipeptidase, peptidase V (PepV), a non-specific eukaryotic dipeptidase, and two Xaa-His dipeptidases (carnosinases). There is also the bacterial aminopeptidase, peptidase T (PepT) that acts only on tripeptide substrates and has therefore been termed a tripeptidase. Peptidase family M28 contains aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases, and has co-catalytic zinc ions. However, several enzymes in this family utilize other first row transition metal ions such as cobalt and manganese. Each zinc ion is tetrahedrally co-ordinated, with three amino acid ligands plus activated water; one aspartate residue binds both metal ions. The aminopeptidases in this family are also called bacterial leucyl aminopeptidases, but are able to release a variety of N-terminal amino acids. IAP aminopeptidase and aminopeptidase Y preferentially release basic amino acids while glutamate carboxypeptidase II preferentially releases C-terminal glutamates. Glutamate carboxypeptidase II and plasma glutamate carboxypeptidase hydrolyze dipeptides. Peptidase families M18 and M42 contain metallo-aminopeptidases. M18 is widely distributed in bacteria and eukaryotes. However, only yeast aminopeptidase I and mammalian aspartyl aminopeptidase have been characterized in detail. Some M42 (also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase) enzymes exhibit aminopeptidase specificity while others also have acylaminoacyl-peptidase activity (i.e. hydrolysis of acylated N-terminal residues).

M42 Peptidase, endoglucanases; Peptidase M42 family, Frv (Frv Operon Protein; Endo-1 4-Beta-Glucanase; Cellulase Protein; Endoglucanase; Endo-1 4-Beta-Glucanase Homolog; Glucanase; EC. 3.2.1.4) subfamily. Frv is a co-catalytic metallopeptidase, found in archaea and bacteria, including Pyrococcus horikoshii tetrahedral shaped phTET1 (DAPPh1; FrvX; PhDAP aminopeptidase; PhTET aminopeptidase; deblocking aminopeptidase), phTET2 (DAPPh2) and phTET3 (DAPPh3), Haloarcula marismortui TET (HmTET) as well as Bacillus subtilis YsdC. All of these exhibit aminopeptidase and deblocking activities. The HmTET is a broad substrate aminopeptidase capable of degrading large peptides. PhTET2, which shares 24% identity with HmTET, is a cobalt-activated peptidase and possibly a deblocking aminopeptidase, assembled as a 12-subunit tetrahedral dodecamer, while PhTET1 can be alternatively assembled as a tetrahedral dodecamer or as an octahedral tetracosameric structure. The active site in such a self-compartmentalized complex is located on the inside such that substrate sizes are limited, indicating function as possible peptide scavengers. PhTET2 cleaves polypeptides by a nonprocessive mechanism, preferring N-terminal hydrophobic or uncharged polar amino acids. Streptococcus pneumoniae PepA (SpPepA) also forms dodecamer with tetrahedral architecture, and exhibits selective substrate specificity to acidic amino acids with the preference to glutamic acid, with the substrate binding S1 pocket containing an Arg allows electrostatic interactions with the N-terminal acidic residue in the substrate. The YsdC gene is conserved in a number of thermophiles, archaea and pathogenic bacterial species; the closest structural homolog is Thermotoga maritima FrwX (34% identity), which is annotated as either a cellulase or an endoglucanase, and is possibly involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis or degradation.

M42 Peptidases, also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase family; Peptidase M42 family proteins, also known as glutamyl aminopeptidases (GAP), are co-catalytic metallopeptidases, found in archaea and bacteria. They typically bind two zinc or cobalt atoms and include cellulase and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (endoglucanase). Some of the enzymes exhibit typical aminopeptidase specificity, whereas others are also capable of N-terminal deblocking activity, i.e. hydrolyzing acylated N-terminal residues. GAP removes glutamyl residues from the N-terminus of peptide substrates, but is also effective against aspartyl and, to a lesser extent, seryl residues. Lactococcus lactis glutamyl aminopeptidase (PepA; aminopeptidase A) has high thermal stability and aids growth of the organism in milk. Pyrococcus horikoshii contain a thermostable de-blocking aminopeptidase member of this family, used commercially for N-terminal protein sequencing.

M20, M18 and M42 Zn-peptidases include aminopeptidases and carboxypeptidases; This family corresponds to the MEROPS MH clan families M18, M20, and M42. The peptidase M20 family contains exopeptidases, including carboxypeptidases such as the glutamate carboxypeptidase from Pseudomonas, the thermostable carboxypeptidase Ss1 of broad specificity from archaea and yeast Gly-X carboxypeptidase, dipeptidases such as bacterial dipeptidase, peptidase V (PepV), a eukaryotic, non-specific dipeptidase, and two Xaa-His dipeptidases (carnosinases). This family also includes the bacterial aminopeptidase peptidase T (PepT) that acts only on tripeptide substrates and has therefore been termed a tripeptidase. These peptidases generally hydrolyze the late products of protein degradation so as to complete the conversion of proteins to free amino acids. Glutamate carboxypeptidase hydrolyzes folate analogs such as methotrexate, and therefore can be used to treat methotrexate toxicity. Peptidase families M18 and M42 contain metallo-aminopeptidases. M18 (aspartyl aminopeptidase, DAP) family cleaves only unblocked N-terminal acidic amino-acid residues and is highly selective for hydrolyzing aspartate or glutamate residues. Some M42 (also known as glutamyl aminopeptidase) enzymes exhibit aminopeptidase specificity while others also have acylaminoacyl-peptidase activity (i.e. hydrolysis of acylated N-terminal residues).
