6.3.1.19

Accepted name:

prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein ligase

Reaction:

ATP + [prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]-L-glutamate + [protein]-L-lysine = ADP + phosphate + N⁶-([prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]-γ-L-glutamyl)-[protein]-L-lysine

Other name(s):

PafA (ambiguous); Pup ligase; proteasome accessory factor A

Systematic name:

[prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein]:[protein]-L-lysine

Comments:

The enzyme has been characterized from the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium glutamicum. It catalyses the ligation of the prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein (Pup) to a target protein by forming a bond between an ε-amino group of a lysine residue of the target protein and the γ-carboxylate of the C-terminal glutamate of the ubiquitin-like protein (Pup). The attachment of Pup, also known as Pupylation, marks proteins for proteasomal degradation.
