Protein
Isoaspartyl dipeptidase
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of a subset of L-isoaspartyl (L-beta-aspartyl) dipeptides. Used to degrade proteins damaged by L-isoaspartyl residues formation. The best substrate for the enzyme reported thus far is iso-Asp-Leu.
Similarity
Belongs to the peptidase M38 family.
