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).

PepD is a cytoplasmic enzyme family characterized by its unusual specificity for the dipeptides beta-alanyl-L-histidine (L-carnosine or beta-Ala-His) and gamma-aminobutyryl histidine (L-homocarnosine or gamma-amino-butyl-His). Homocarnosine has been suggested as a precursor for the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), acting as a GABA reservoir, and may mediate anti-seizure effects of GABAergic therapies. It has also been reported that glucose metabolism could be influenced by L-carnosine. PepD also includes a lid domain that forms a homodimer; however, the physiological function of this extra domain remains unclear.

This group includes bacterial tripeptidases as well as predicted tripeptidases. Peptidase T acts only on tripeptide substrates, and is thus called a tripeptidase. It catalyzes the release of N-terminal amino acids with hydrophobic side chains from tripeptides with high specificity; dipeptides, tetrapeptides or tripeptides with the N-terminus blocked are not cleaved. Tripeptidases are known to function at the final stage of proteolysis in lactococcal bacteria and release amino acids from tripeptides produced during the digestion of milk proteins such as casein.

ArgE catalyzes a broad range of substrates, including N-acetylornithine, alpha-N-acetylmethionine and alpha-N-formylmethionine, while DapE catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-succinyl-L,L-diaminopimelate (L,L-SDAP) to L,L-diaminopimelate and succinate. Proteins in this family are mostly bacterial and have been inferred by homology as being related to both ArgE and DapE. This family also includes N-acetyl-L-citrulline deacetylase (ACDase; acetylcitrulline deacetylase), a unique, novel enzyme found in Xanthomonas campestris, a plant pathogen, in which N-acetyl-L-ornithine is the substrate for transcarbamoylation reaction, and the product is N-acetyl-L-citrulline. Thus, in the arginine biosynthesis pathway, ACDase subsequently catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-acetyl-L-citrulline to acetate and L-citrulline.

YscS releases a C-terminal amino acid from a peptide that has glycine as the penultimate residue. It is synthesized as one polypeptide chain precursor which yields two active precursor molecules after carbohydrate modification in the secretory pathway. The proteolytically unprocessed forms are associated with the membrane, whereas the mature forms of the enzyme are soluble. Enzymes in this subfamily may also cleave intracellularly generated peptides in order to recycle amino acids for protein synthesis.

M20 Peptidase acetylornithine deacetylase/acetyl-lysine deacetylase; Peptidase M20 family, acetylornithine deacetylase (ArgE)/acetyl-lysine deacetylase (LysK) subfamily. Proteins in this subfamily are mainly archaeal with related bacterial species and are deacetylases with specificity for both N-acetyl-ornithine and N-acetyl-lysine found within a lysine biosynthesis operon. ArgE catalyzes the conversion of N-acetylornithine to ornithine, while LysK, a homolog of ArgE, has deacetylating activities for both N-acetyllysine and N-acetylornithine at almost equal efficiency. These results suggest that LysK which may share an ancestor with ArgE functions not only for lysine biosynthesis, but also for arginine biosynthesis in species such as Thermus thermophilus. The substrate specificity of ArgE is quite broad in that several alpha-N-acyl-L-amino acids can be hydrolyzed, including alpha-N-acetylmethionine and alpha-N-formylmethionine. ArgE shares significant sequence homology and biochemical features, and possibly a common origin, with glutamate carboxypeptidase (CPG2) and succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase (DapE), and aminoacylase I (ACY1), having all metal ligand binding residues conserved.

CPDG2 is a periplasmic enzyme that is synthesized with a signal peptide. It is a dimeric zinc-dependent exopeptidase, with two domains, a catalytic domain, which provides the ligands for the two zinc ions in the active site, and a dimerization domain. CPDG2 cleaves the C-terminal glutamate moiety from a wide range of N-acyl groups, including peptidyl, aminoacyl, benzoyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, folyl, and pteroyl groups to release benzoic acid, phenol, and aniline mustards. It is used clinically to treat methotrexate toxicity by hydrolyzing it to inactive and non-toxic metabolites. It is also proposed for use in antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy; for example, glutamate can be cleaved from glutamated benzoyl nitrogen mustards, producing nitrogen mustards with effective cytotoxicity against tumor cells.

M20 Peptidases, Poly(aspartic acid) hydrolase-like proteins; Peptidase M20 family, Poly(aspartic acid) hydrolase (PAA hydrolase)-like subfamily. PAA hydrolase enzymes are involved in alpha,beta-poly(D,L-aspartic acid) (tPAA) biodegradation. PAA is being extensively studied as a replacement for commercial polycarboxylate components since it can be degraded by enzymes from isolated tPAA degrading bacteria. Thus far, two types of PAA degrading bacteria (Sphingomonas sp. KT-1 and Pedobacter sp. KP-2) have been investigated in detail; the former can completely degrade tPAA of low-molecular weights below 5000, while the latter can degrade high molecular weight tPAA to release oligo(aspartic acid) (OAA) as a product, suggesting two kinds of PAA degrading enzymes. It has been shown that PAA hydrolase-1 from Sphingomonas sp. KT-1 hydrolyzes beta,beta-aspartic acid units in tPAA to produce OAA, and it is suggested that PAA hydrolase-2 hydrolyzes OAA to aspartic acid. Also included in this family is Bradyrhizobium 5-nitroanthranilic acid (5NAA)-aminohydrolase (5NAA-A), a biodegradation enzyme that converts 5NAA to 5-nitrosalicylic acid; 5NAA is a metabolite secreted by Streptomyces scabies, the bacterium responsible for potato scab, and metabolized by Bradyrhizobium species strain JS329.

Also included in this subfamily is allantoate amidohydrolase (allantoate deiminase), which catalyzes the conversion of allantoate to (S)-ureidoglycolate, one of the crucial alternate steps in purine metabolism. It is possible that these two enzymes arose from the same ancestral peptidase that evolved into two structurally related enzymes with distinct catalytic properties and biochemical roles within the cell. Downstream enzyme (S)-ureidoglycolate amidohydrolase (UAH) is homologous in structure and sequence with AAH and catalyzes the conversion of (S)-ureidoglycolate into glyoxylate, releasing two molecules of ammonia as by-products. Yeast requires beta-alanine as a precursor of pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis, but generates it mostly via degradation of spermine. Disorders in pyrimidine degradation and beta-alanine metabolism caused by beta-ureidopropionase deficiency (UPB1 gene) in humans are normally associated with neurological disorders.

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. Many of these enzymes are assembled either as tetrahedral dodecamers or as octahedral tetracosameric structures, with the active site located on the inside such that substrate sizes are limited, indicating function as possible peptide scavengers.

M20 peptidases with similarity to acetylornithine deacetylases and succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylases; Peptidase M20 family, uncharacterized protein subfamily with similarity to acetylornithine deacetylase/succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase (ArgE/DapE) subfamily. ArgE/DapE enzymes catalyze analogous reactions and share a common activator, the metal ion (usually Co2+ or Zn2+). ArgE catalyzes a broad range of substrates, including N-acetylornithine, alpha-N-acetylmethionine and alpha-N-formylmethionine, while DapE catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-succinyl-L,L-diaminopimelate (L,L-SDAP) to L,L-diaminopimelate and succinate. Proteins in this subfamily are bacterial, and have been inferred by homology as being related to both ArgE and DapE.

This image shows a graphical summary of conserved domains identified on the query sequence.
The Show Concise/Full Display button at the top of the page can be used to select the desired level of detail: only top scoring hits
(labeled illustration) or all hits
(labeled illustration).
Domains are color coded according to superfamilies
to which they have been assigned. Hits with scores that pass a domain-specific threshold
(specific hits) are drawn in bright colors.
Others (non-specific hits) and
superfamily placeholders are drawn in pastel colors.
if a domain or superfamily has been annotated with functional sites (conserved features),
they are mapped to the query sequence and indicated through sets of triangles
with the same color and shade of the domain or superfamily that provides the annotation. Mouse over the colored bars or triangles to see descriptions of the domains and features.
click on the bars or triangles to view your query sequence embedded in a multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
The table lists conserved domains identified on the query sequence. Click on the plus sign (+) on the left to display full descriptions, alignments, and scores.
Click on the domain model's accession number to view the multiple sequence alignment of the proteins used to develop the corresponding domain model.
To view your query sequence embedded in that multiple sequence alignment, click on the colored bars in the Graphical Summary portion of the search results page,

mapped to the query sequence.
Concise Display shows only the best scoring domain model, in each hit category listed below except non-specific hits, for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Standard Display shows only the best scoring domain model from each source, in each hit category listed below for each region on the query sequence.
(labeled illustration) Full Display shows all domain models, in each hit category below, that meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance.
(labeled illustration) Four types of hits can be shown, as available,
for each region on the query sequence:
specific hits meet or exceed a domain-specific e-value threshold
(illustrated example)
and represent a very high confidence that the query sequence belongs to the same protein family as the sequences use to create the domain model
non-specific hits
meet or exceed the RPS-BLAST threshold for statistical significance (default E-value cutoff of 0.01, or an E-value selected by user via the
advanced search options)
the domain superfamily to which the specific and non-specific hits belong
multi-domain models that were computationally detected and are likely to contain multiple single domains
