NCBI Protein Information
methionine aminopeptidase 2A
NCBI Summary
Encodes a MAP2 like methionine aminopeptidase. In MAP1A mutant background plants show an increased sensitivity to fumagillin resulting in defects in development. Phenotype is similar to RNAi lines which knock out all MAP2/MAP1 loci.

UniProt Comments
Cotranslationally 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).
