== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CPHB_SYNY3 CPHB_SYNY3] Exopeptidase that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of multi-L-arginyl-poly-L-aspartic acid (cyanophycin; a water-insoluble reserve polymer) into aspartate-arginine dipeptides.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
BACKGROUND: Cyanophycinases are serine protease family enzymes which are required for the metabolism of cyanophycin, the natural polymer multi-L-arginyl-poly(L-aspartic acid). Cyanophycinases degrade cyanophycin to beta-Asp-Arg dipeptides, which enables use of this important store of fixed nitrogen. METHODS: We used genetic code expansion to incorporate diaminopropionic acid into cyanophycinase in place of the active site serine, and determined a high-resolution structure of the covalent acyl-enzyme intermediate resulting from attack of cyanophycinase on a short cyanophycin segment. RESULTS: The structure indicates that cyanophycin dipeptide residues P1 and P1' bind shallow pockets adjacent to the catalytic residues. We observe many cyanophycinase - P1 dipeptide interactions in the co-complex structure. Calorimetry measurements show that at least two cyanophycin dipeptides are needed for high affinity binding to cyanophycinase. We also characterized a putative cyanophycinase which we found to be structurally very similar but that shows no activity and could not be activated by mutation of its active site. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: Despite its peptidic structure, cyanophycin is resistant to degradation by peptidases and other proteases. Our results help show how cyanophycinase can specifically bind and degrade this important polymer.
