Crystal structure of methionine aminopeptidase from Rickettsia prowazekiiCrystal structure of methionine aminopeptidase from Rickettsia prowazekii
Structural highlights
3mr1 is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Atcc vr-142. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
[MAP1_RICPR] 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]
