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).

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

M20 Peptidase Aminoacylase 1 family; Peptidase M20 family, Aminoacylase 1 (ACY1; hippuricase; acylase I; amido acid deacylase; IAA-amino acid hydrolase; dehydropeptidase II; N-acyl-L-amino-acid amidohydrolase; EC 3.5.1.14) subfamily. ACY1 is the most abundant of the aminoacylases, a class of zinc binding homodimeric enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of N-acetylated proteins. It is encoded by the aminoacylase 1 gene (Acy1) on chromosome 3p21 that comprises 15 exons. N-terminal acetylation of proteins is a widespread and highly conserved process that is involved in the protection and stability of proteins. Several types of aminoacylases can be distinguished on the basis of substrate specificity; substrates include indoleacetic acid (IAA) N-conjugates of amino acids, N-acetyl-L-amino acids and aminobenzoylglutamate. ACY1 breaks down cytosolic aliphatic N-acyl-alpha-amino acids (except L-aspartate), especially N-acetyl-methionine and acetyl-glutamate into L-amino acids and an acyl group. However, ACY1 can also catalyze the reverse reaction, the synthesis of acetylated amino acids. ACY1 may also play a role in xenobiotic bioactivation as well as the inter-organ processing of amino acid-conjugated xenobiotic derivatives (S-substituted-N-acetyl-L-cysteine). ACY1 appears to physically interact with Sphingosine kinase type 1 (SphK1) and may influence its physiological functions; SphK1 and its product sphingosine-1-phosphate have been shown to promote cell growth and inhibit apoptosis of tumor cells. Strong expression of the human gene and its mouse ortholog Acy1 in brain, liver, and kidney, suggest a role of the enzyme in amino acid metabolism of these organs. Defects in ACY1 are the cause of aminoacylase-1 deficiency (ACY1D), resulting in a metabolic disorder manifesting encephalopathy and psychomotor delay.

DapEs have been purified from proteobacteria such as Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenzae, while genes that encode for DapEs have been sequenced from several bacterial sources such as the actinobacteria Corynebacterium glutamicum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. DapE is a small, dimeric enzyme (41.6 kDa per subunit) that requires 2 atoms of zinc per molecule of polypeptide for full enzymatic activity. All of the amino acids that function as metal binding ligands are strictly conserved in DapE.

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.

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.

N-terminal acetylation of proteins is a widespread and highly conserved process that is involved in the protection and stability of proteins. Several types of aminoacylases can be distinguished on the basis of substrate specificity; substrates include indoleacetic acid (IAA) N-conjugates of amino acids, N-acetyl-L-amino acids and aminobenzoylglutamate. ACY1 breaks down cytosolic aliphatic N-acyl-alpha-amino acids (except L-aspartate), especially N-acetyl-methionine and acetyl-glutamate into L-amino acids and an acyl group. However, ACY1 can also catalyze the reverse reaction, the synthesis of acetylated amino acids. ACY1 may also play a role in xenobiotic bioactivation as well as in the inter-organ processing of amino acid-conjugated xenobiotic derivatives (S-substituted-N-acetyl-L-cysteine). ACY1 appears to physically interact with Sphingosine kinase type 1 (SphK1) and may influence its physiological functions; SphK1 and its product sphingosine-1-phosphate have been shown to promote cell growth and inhibit apoptosis of tumor cells. Strong expression of the human gene and its mouse ortholog Acy1 in brain, liver, and kidney suggest a role of the enzyme in amino acid metabolism of these organs.

M20 Peptidase aminoacylase 1 subfamily; Peptidase M20 family, uncharacterized subfamily of uncharacterized bacterial proteins predicted as putative amidohydrolases. These are a class of zinc binding homodimeric enzymes involved in hydrolysis of N-acetylated proteins. N-terminal acetylation of proteins is a widespread and highly conserved process that is involved in protection and stability of proteins. Several types of aminoacylases can be distinguished on the basis of substrate specificity. Aminoacylase 1 (ACY1) breaks down cytosolic aliphatic N-acyl-alpha-amino acids (except L-aspartate), especially N-acetyl-methionine and acetyl-glutamate into L-amino acids and an acyl group. However, ACY1 can also catalyze the reverse reaction, the synthesis of acetylated amino acids.

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. This group includes the hypothetical protein ygeY from Escherichia coli, a putative deacetylase, but many in this subfamily are classified as unassigned peptidases. 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 mostly bacterial and archaeal, and have been inferred by homology as being related to both ArgE and DapE.

M20 Dipeptidases; Peptidase M20 family, dipeptidase-like subfamily. This group contains a large variety of enzymes, including cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidase (CNDP), Xaa-methyl-His dipeptidase (anserinase), canosinase, DUG2 type proteins, as well as many proteins inferred by homology to be dipeptidases. These enzymes have been shown to act on a wide range of dipeptides, but not larger peptides. For example, anserinase mainly catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-alpha-acetylhistidine while carnosinase degrades beta-alanyl-L-histidine. Substrates of CNDP are varied and not limited to Xaa-His dipeptides. DUG2 proteins contain a metallopeptidase domain and a large N-terminal WD40 repeat region, and are involved in the alternative pathway of glutathione degradation.

M20 Peptidase, carboxypeptidase yscS; Peptidase M20 family, yscS (GlyX-carboxypeptidase, CPS1, carboxypeptidase S, carboxypeptidase a, carboxypeptidase yscS, glycine carboxypeptidase)-like subfamily. This group mostly contains proteins that have been uncharacterized to date, but also includes vacuolar proteins involved in nitrogen metabolism which are essential for use of certain peptides that are sole nitrogen sources. 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. Also included in this subfamily is peptidase M20 domain containing 1 (PM20D1), that is enriched in uncoupling protein 1, UCP1(+) versus UCP1(-) adipocytes is a bidirectional enzyme in vitro, catalyzing both the condensation of fatty acids and amino acids to generate N-acyl amino acids and also the reverse hydrolytic reaction; N-acyl amino acids directly bind mitochondria and function as endogenous uncouplers of UCP1-independent respiration. Mice studies show increased circulating PM20D1 augments respiration and increases N-acyl amino acids in blood, and administration of N-acyl amino acids improves glucose homeostasis and increases energy expenditure.

M42 Peptidase, endoglucanase-like subfamily; Peptidase M42 family, glucanase (endo-1,4-beta-glucanase or endoglucanase)-like subfamily. Proteins in this subfamily are co-catalytic metallopeptidases, found in archaea and bacteria. They show similarity to cellulase and endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (endoglucanase) which typically bind two zinc or cobalt atoms. 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 aminoacyclase-1 indole-3-acetic-L-aspartic acid hydrolase; Peptidase M20 family, bacterial and archaeal aminoacyclase-1 indole-3-acetic-L-aspartic acid hydrolase (IAA-Asp hydrolase; IAAspH; IAAH; IAA amidohydrolase; EC 3.5.1.-) subfamily. IAAspH hydrolyzes indole-3-acetyl-N-aspartic acid (IAA or auxin) to indole-3-acetic acid. Genes encoding IAA-amidohydrolases were first cloned from Arabidopsis; ILR1, IAR3, ILL1 and ILL2 encode active IAA- amino acid hydrolases, and three additional amidohydrolase-like genes (ILL3, ILL5, ILL6) have been isolated. In higher plants, the growth regulator indole-3-acetic acid (IAA or auxin) is found both free and conjugated via amide bonding to a variety of amino acids and peptides, and via an ester linkage to carbohydrates. IAA-Asp conjugates are involved in homeostatic control, protection, storing and subsequent use of free IAA. IAA-Asp is also found in some plants as a unique intermediate for entering into IAA non-decarboxylative oxidative pathway. IAA amidohydrolase cleaves the amide bond between the auxin and the conjugated amino acid. Enterobacter agglomerans IAAspH has very strong enzyme activity and substrate specificity towards IAA-Asp, although its substrate affinity is weaker compared to Arabidopsis enzymes of the ILR1 gene family. Enhanced IAA-hydrolase activity has been observed during clubroot disease in Chinese cabbage.

M20 cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidases including anserinase and serum carnosinase; Peptidase M20 family, CNDP (cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidase) subfamily including anserinase (Xaa-methyl-His dipeptidase, EC 3.4.13.5), 'serum' carnosinase (beta-alanyl-L-histidine dipeptidase; EC 3.4.13.20), and some uncharacterized proteins. Two genes, CN1 and CN2, coding for proteins that degrade carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) and homocarnosine (gamma-aminobutyric acid-L-histidine), two naturally occurring dipeptides with potential neuroprotective and neurotransmitter functions, have been identified. CN1 encodes for serum carnosinase and has narrow substrate specificity for Xaa-His dipeptides, where Xaa can be beta-alanine (carnosine), N-methyl beta-alanine, alanine, glycine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (homocarnosine). CN2 corresponds to the cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidase (CNDP; EC 3.4.13.18) and is not limited to Xaa-His dipeptides. CNDP requires Mn(2+) for full activity and does not hydrolyze homocarnosine. Anserinase is a dipeptidase that mainly catalyzes the hydrolysis of N-alpha-acetylhistidine.
