background:
ATE1, also known as arginyltransferase 1, is an enzyme that is involved in the post-translational conjugation of arginine to the N-terminal aspartate or glutamate of a protein. This arginylation is required for degradation of the protein via the ubiquitin pathway. There are two named isoforms.
Function:
Involved in the post-translational conjugation ofarginine to the N-terminal aspartate or glutamate of a protein.This arginylation is required for degradation of the protein viathe ubiquitin pathway. Does not arginylate cysteine residues (Bysimilarity).
Subunit:
Monomer (Potential).
Subcellular Location:
Isoform ATE1-1: Nucleus (By similarity).Cytoplasm (By similarity).
Isoform ATE1-2: Cytoplasm (By similarity).
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
Similarity:
Belongs to the R-transferase family.
