Protein
Protein-glutamate methylesterase/protein-glutamine glutaminase 5
Organism
Geobacter metallireducens (strain GS-15 / ATCC 53774 / DSM 7210)
Function
Involved in chemotaxis. Part of a chemotaxis signal transduction system that modulates chemotaxis in response to various stimuli. Catalyzes the demethylation of specific methylglutamate residues introduced into the chemoreceptors (methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins or MCP) by CheR. Also mediates the irreversible deamidation of specific glutamine residues to glutamic acid.
Similarity
Belongs to the CheB family.
