Methionine aminopeptidase gene of Escherichia coli is essential for cell growth.

چکیده
We localized the methionine aminopeptidase (map) gene on the Escherichia coli chromosome next to the rpsB gene at min 4. Genetically modified strains with the chromosomal map gene under lac promoter control grew only in the presence of the lac operon inducer isopropyl-beta-thiogalactoside. Thus, methionine aminopeptidase is essential for cell growth.

Co-expression of glutathione S-transferase with methionine aminopeptidase: a system of producing enriched N-terminal processed proteins in Escherichia coli.
We describe here an Escherichia coli expression system that produces recombinant proteins enriched in the N-terminal processed form, by using glutathione S-transferase cGSTM1-1 and rGSTT1-1 as models, where c and r refer to chick and rat respectively. Approximately 90% of the cGSTM1-1 or rGSTT1-1 overexpressed in E. coli under the control of a phoA promoter retained the initiator methionine res...
متن کاملUsing directed evolution to improve the solubility of the Cterminal domain of Escherichia coli aminopeptidaseP
The Escherichia coli aminopeptidase P (AMPP) is a protease with subunits that consist of two domains. Solution studies have shown that the activity of AMPP is manganese-dependent [1], and structural studies have shown that its active site contains two metals that are coordinated by residues from the C-terminal domain [2]. AMPP has a structure that is similar to that of prolidase and creatinase,...
متن کاملCatalysis and inhibition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis methionine aminopeptidase.
Methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) carries out an important cotranslational N-terminal methionine excision of nascent proteins and represents a potential target to develop antibacterial and antitubercular drugs. We cloned one of the two MetAPs in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtMetAP1c from the mapB gene) and purified it to homogeneity as an apoenzyme. Its activity required a divalent metal ion, a...
متن کاملCharacterization of two new aminopeptidases in Escherichia coli.
Two genes in the Escherichia coli genome, ypdE and ypdF, have been cloned and expressed, and their products have been purified. YpdF is shown to be a metalloenzyme with Xaa-Pro aminopeptidase activity and limited methionine aminopeptidase activity. Genes homologous to ypdF are widely distributed in bacterial species. The unique feature in the sequences of the products of these genes is a conser...
متن کاملPurification and Properties of an Aminopeptidase from Escherichia coli*
An aminopeptidase from Escherichia coli has been purified to homogeneity and crystallized. This peptidase is responsible for about 65% of the hydrolytic activity found in crude extracts toward the substrate methionylalanylserine. It resembles the so-called leucine arninop!ptidase of hog kidney in several respects, including size, metal requirements, and peptide specificity. Evidence based on su...
