FAMILY

L-isoaspartyl/D-aspartyl protein methyltransferase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as PIMT_ECOLI, pcm. Catalyzes the methyl esterification of L-isoaspartyl residues in peptides and proteins that result from spontaneous decomposition of normal L-aspartyl and L-asparaginyl residues. It plays a role in the repair and/or degradation of damaged proteins. This enzyme does not act on D-aspartyl residues. Monomer.
