Functional Family Intermediate cleaving peptidase 55

Enzyme Information

3.4.11.26
Intermediate cleaving peptidase 55.
based on mapping to UniProt P40051
The enzyme cleaves the 36-Pro-Pro-37 bond of cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7) removing three amino acid residues (Tyr-Ser-Pro) from the N-terminus after cleavage by mitochondrial processing peptidase.
-!- Icp55 removes the destabilizing N-terminal amino acid residues that are left after cleavage by the mitochondrial processing peptidase, leading to the stabilization of the substrate. -!- The enzyme can remove single amino acids or a short peptide, as in the case of cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7), where three amino acids are removed.
