NCIt definition : Threonine aspartase 1 (420 aa, 44 kDa) is encoded by the human TASP1 gene. This protein
plays a role in the proteolysis of histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL protein.;
NCIt note : Threonine aspartase 1 cleaves histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL which both increases
the stability and enhances the nuclear localization for the MLL protein. (OMIM); Threonine aspartase 1 undergoes posttranslational autoproteolytic processing to generate
alpha and beta subunits, which reassemble non-covalently into the active alpha2-beta2
heterotetramer. (EntrezGene and UniProt);
