Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.7Å Ligands: FC2, MN, NA Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function MAP1_ECOLI 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). Requires deformylation of the N(alpha)-formylated initiator methionine before it can be hydrolyzed.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01974] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed One of the challenges in the development of methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) inhibitors as antibacterial and anticancer agents is to define the metal ion actually used by MetAP in vivo and to discover MetAP inhibitors that can inhibit the metalloform that is relevant in vivo. Two distinct classes of novel nonpeptidic MetAP inhibitors that are not only potent but also highly selective for either the Mn(II) or Co(II) form have been identified. Three crystal structures of Escherichia coli MetAP complexed with the metalloform-selective inhibitors 5-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)furan-2-carboxylic acid (2), 5-[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]furan-2-carboxylic acid (3) and N-cyclopentyl-N-(thiazol-2-yl)oxalamide (4) have been solved and analysis of these structures has revealed the structural basis for their metalloform-selective inhibition. The Mn(II)-form selective inhibitors (2) and (3) both use their carboxylate group to coordinate with the two Mn(II) ions at the dinuclear metal site and both adopt a non-coplanar conformation for the two aromatic rings. The unique coordination geometry of these inhibitors may determine their Mn(II)-form selectivity. In contrast, the Co(II)-form selective inhibitor (4) recruits an unexpected third metal ion, forming a trimetallic enzyme-metal-inhibitor complex. Thus, an important factor in the selectivity of (4) for the Co(II) form may be a consequence of a greater preference for a softer N,O-donor ligand for the softer Co(II).
