Reaction: an N6-[small archaeal modifier protein]-[protein]-L-lysine + H2O = a [protein]-L-lysine + a small archaeal modifier protein
Glossary: SAMP = small archaeal modifier protein
Other name(s): SAMP-protein conjugate cleaving protease; HvJAMM1
Systematic name: N6-[small archaeal modifier protein]-[protein]-L-lysine hydrolase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the archaeon Haloferax volcanii, specifically cleaves the ubiquitin-like small modifier proteins SAMP1 and SAMP2 from protein conjugates, hydrolysing the isopeptide bond between a lysine residue of the target protein and the C-terminal glycine of the modifier protein. The enzyme contains Zn2+. cf. EC 3.4.19.12, ubiquitinyl hydrolase 1. In peptidase family M67.
