| Description | This entry contains proteins that are related to glutamate carboxypeptidase and classed as non-peptidase homologues belonging to MEROPS peptidase family M20 (glutamate carboxypeptidase, clan MH) [ ].The bacterial amidohydrolase abgB catalyses the cleavage of p-aminobenzoyl-glutamate, a folate catabolite in Escherichia coli, to p-aminobenzoate and glutamate. p-Aminobenzoyl-glutamate is a natural end product of folate catabolism, and its utilization is initiated by the abg region gene product, AbgT, by enabling uptake of its into the cell in a concentration-dependent, saturable manner. It is subsequently cleaved by AbgA and AbgB (sometimes referred to as AbgAB) [ , ]. |
