DESCRIPTION

Also known as BLH1_YEAST, LAP3, BLH1, GAL6, YCP1. The normal physiological role of the enzyme is unknown, but it is not essential for the viability of yeast cells. Has aminopeptidase activity, shortening substrate peptides sequentially by 1 amino acid. Has bleomycin hydrolase activity, which can protect the cell from the toxic effects of bleomycin. Has homocysteine-thiolactonase activity, protecting the cell against homocysteine toxicity. Acts as a repressor in the GAL4 regulatory system, but this does not require either the peptidase or nucleic acid-binding activities. Homohexamer. Binds to nucleic acids. Binds single-stranded DNA and RNA with higher affinity than double-stranded DNA.
