Background: Methionine Aminopeptidase 1/METAP1
The human METAP1 gene encodes Methionine Aminopeptidase 1, a member of the M24 family of metalloproteases. METAPs catalyze the removal of the initiator methionine residue from nascent peptides (1) and are essential for cell growth (2). Inhibition of METAPs provides a novel strategy in developing anti-cancer drugs (3). The purified rhMETAP1 consists of amino acid residues 52/53 to 386. A previous report showed that the N-terminal 89 amino acid region was not essential for catalytic activity (4).
