Comments [?]

FUNCTIONCotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met- Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val).
case <OC:Vertebrata>
FUNCTIONProtects eukaryotic initiation factor EIF2S1 from translation-inhibiting phosphorylation by inhibitory kinases such as EIF2AK2/PKR and EIF2AK1/HCR. Plays a critical role in the regulation of protein synthesis.
SUBUNITBinds EIF2S1 at low magnesium concentrations. Interacts strongly with the eIF-2 gamma-subunit EIF2S3.
PTMContains approximately 12 O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues. O-glycosylation is required for EIF2S1 binding.
end case
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=Release of N-terminal amino acids, preferentially methionine, from peptides and arylamides.; EC=3.4.11.18;
COFACTOR Name=Co(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:48828; Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Name=Fe(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29033; Note=Binds 2 divalent metal cations per subunit. Has a high-affinity and a low affinity metal-binding site. The true nature of the physiological cofactor is under debate. The enzyme is active with cobalt, zinc, manganese or divalent iron ions. Most likely, methionine aminopeptidases function as mononuclear Fe(2+)-metalloproteases under physiological conditions, and the catalytically relevant metal-binding site has been assigned to the histidine-containing high-affinity site.;
case <OC:Vertebrata>
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm. Note=About 30% of expressed @gn(METAP2) associates with polysomes.
else
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the peptidase M24A family. Methionine aminopeptidase eukaryotic type 2 subfamily.
