EC 6.3.1.19 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
6.3.1.19
Accepted name
prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein ligase
Reaction
ATP + [prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]-L-glutamate + [protein]-L-lysine = ADP + phosphate + N6-([prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]-γ-L-glutamyl)-[protein]-L-lysine
Other name(s)
PafA (ambiguous),
Pup ligase,
proteasome accessory factor A
Systematic name
[prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]:[protein]-L-lysine
Comment
The enzyme has been characterized from the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium glutamicum. It catalyses the ligation of the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) to a target protein by forming a bond between an ε-amino group of a lysine residue of the target protein and the γ-carboxylate of the C-terminal glutamate of the ubiquitin-like protein (Pup). The attachment of Pup, also known as Pupylation, marks proteins for proteasomal degradation.
