1xgm is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Pyrococcus furiosus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
MAP2_PYRFU 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).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01975][1]
