Methionine aminopeptidase 2 inhibition: antiangiogenesis and tumour therapy
Abstract
Methionine, used to initiate protein synthesis in eukaryotes, is largely recovered as a co-translational hydrolysis event catalysed by two related enzymes, methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP)1 and 2. One of these, MetAP2, is covalently modified, and thus catalytically inactivated, by a class of drugs related to the fungal polyene antibiotic, fumagillin. This irreversible inhibition results in cell cycle arrest in endothelial cells (as well as a...
