General annotation (Comments)

Function

Removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The catalytic activity of human METAP2 toward Met-Val peptides is consistently two orders of magnitude higher than that of METAP1, suggesting that it is responsible for processing proteins containing N-terminal Met-Val and Met-Thr sequences in vivo. Ref.6 Ref.8 Ref.13 Ref.18

Protects 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. Ref.6 Ref.8 Ref.13 Ref.18

Catalytic activity

Release of N-terminal amino acids, preferentially methionine, from peptides and arylamides. Ref.8

Cofactor

Binds 2 cobalt ions per subunit. The true nature of the physiological cofactor is under debate. The enzyme is also active with zinc, manganese or divalent iron ions. Ref.12 Ref.18

Subunit structure

Interacts strongly with the eIF-2 gamma-subunit EIF2S3 By similarity. Binds EIF2S1 at low magnesium concentrations.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm. Note: About 30% of expressed METAP2 associates with polysomes. Ref.10

Post-translational modification

Contains approximately 12 O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues. O-glycosylation is required for EIF2A binding.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase M24A family.
