ENTRY       EC 3.4.22.34
NAME        Legumain
            Bean endopeptidase
            Vicilin peptidohydrolase
            Phaseolin
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on peptide bonds (peptidases)
            Cysteine endopeptidases
REACTION    Hydrolysis of proteins, such as azocasein. Preferential cleavage:
            Asn+ in small molecule substrates such as Boc-Asn+OPhNO2
SUBSTRATE   Protein
            Peptide
            H2O
            Boc-Asn-OPhNO2
PRODUCT     Protein
            Peptide
            Boc-Asn
            HOPhNO2
COMMENT     From germinating cotyledons of mung bean (Vigna radiata) and
            garden bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).  Thought to be involved in the
            hydrolysis of stored seed proteins.
