Description | Isoaspartyl dipeptidase (MEROPS identifier M38.001) hydrolyzes the β-L-isoaspartyl linkages in dipeptides, as part of the degradative pathway to eliminate proteins with β-L-isoaspartyl peptide bonds, bonds whereby the β-group of an aspartate forms the peptide link with the amino group of the following amino acid. Formation of this bond is a spontaneous nonenzymatic reaction in nature and can profoundly affect the function of the protein. Isoaspartyl dipeptidase is an octameric enzyme that contains a binuclear zinc centre in the active site of each subunit and shows a strong preference of hydrolyzing Asp-Leu dipeptides [ ]. |
