Binding to Ac-Asp-Glu. [GO_REF:0000067, GOC:BHF, GOC:hal, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:24863754]

Ac-Asp-Glu binding is a molecular function that describes the interaction between a protein and a specific tripeptide sequence: Acetyl-Aspartic Acid-Glutamic Acid. This tripeptide sequence is often found in the context of larger protein sequences, particularly in the N-terminal regions.

Ac-Asp-Glu binding is frequently associated with:

1. **Protein-Protein Interactions:** The tripeptide motif can act as a recognition site for binding to other proteins. This binding can mediate a variety of cellular processes, including signaling pathways, enzymatic activity regulation, and protein complex assembly.

2. **Enzyme Inhibition:** In some cases, Ac-Asp-Glu binding can inhibit the activity of enzymes. This can occur when the tripeptide sequence binds to the active site of the enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding.

3. **Structural Roles:** Ac-Asp-Glu binding can also contribute to the structural integrity of proteins. The interaction between the tripeptide and other protein domains can help to stabilize the overall protein structure.

The specific biological role of Ac-Asp-Glu binding is often dependent on the context of the interacting proteins and the cellular environment. This molecular function is important for understanding a wide range of biological processes and can serve as a target for drug discovery and development.'
