Function
- proteolytically cleaved at the tripeptide Xaa-Pro-Gln, where Xaa in the P(3) position is mostly Lys
- the endoprotease may be of microbial origin
- pyroglutamate formation occurs on terminal Gln of cleaved peptides
- on the N-terminal of mature PBR1, pyroglutamate formation found on at least Gln-58
Structure
Compartment
Polymorphism
- the number of repeats is polymorphic & varies among different alleles
