Neuropeptide amidation in Drosophila: separate genes encode the two enzymes catalyzing amidation.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience - 15 Feb 1997

Kolhekar A S, Roberts M S, Jiang N, Johnson R C, Mains R E, Eipper B A, Taghert P H

Abstract excerpt

In vertebrates, the two-step peptide alpha-amidation reaction is catalyzed sequentially by two enzymatic activities contained within one bifunctional enzyme called PAM (peptidylglycine alpha-amidating mono-oxygenase). Drosophila head extracts contained both of these PAM-related enzyme activities:...
