artE

Gene
artE
Protein
Probable archaeosortase E
Organism
Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (strain ATCC 43067 / DSM 2661 / JAL-1 / JCM 10045 / NBRC 100440)
Length
184 amino acids
Function
Transpeptidase that recognizes and modifies its substrate by proteolytic cleavage of a sorting signal. Following cleavage, a covalent intermediate is formed via a thioester bond between the archaeosortase and its substrate, which is then transferred and covalently attached to the cell membrane.
Similarity
Belongs to the exosortase/archaeosortase family. Archaeosortase E subfamily.
Mass
21.259 kDa
