Summary for clan CF
Clan type peptidase | C15.001 - pyroglutamyl-peptidase I (prokaryote) (Thermococcus litoralis), MEROPS Accession MER0003453 (peptidase unit: 1-220); PDB accession 1A2Z_A |
History | MEROPS 3.03 (9 September 1998) |
Description | Cysteine nucleophile; catalytic residues in the order Glu, Cys, His in sequence |
Contents of clan | The clan contains a single family, C15. |
Evidence | The structure of pyroglutamyl-peptidase I shows a protein fold unlike that of any other cysteine peptidase, so pyroglutamyl-peptidase I provides the type structure for clan CF. There are structural similarities detectable by the Dali program (Holm & Sander, 1997) between members of clan CF and three clans of metallopeptidases, MC, MF and MH, and all four peptidase clans are included in the phosphorylase/hydrolase-like fold by the SCOP database. |
Protein fold | The tertiary structure for pyroglutamyl-peptidase I has been determined (Odagaki et al., 1999) and shows an alpha/beta protein with an alpha/beta/alpha sandwich. The beta sheet contains five strands (in the order 21354) with strand 4 antiparallel to the others. |
