ATE1

Involved in the post-translational conjugation of arginine to the N-terminal aspartate or glutamate of a protein (PubMed:34893540). This arginylation is required for degradation of the protein via the ubiquitin pathway (PubMed:34893540). Does not arginylate cysteine residues (By similarity).

Belongs to the R-transferase family.
