Bleomycin hydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q01532
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.
-!- 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.
