1gcb is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
BLH1_YEAST 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.[1][2]
