Common NameFumagillin(F05004)
2D Structure
Description

Fumagillin is a mycotoxin found in the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. It is an antimicrobial agent and amebicide that has been used in the treatment of microsporidiosis and other infections, especially in immunodeficient patients. It also has been investigated as a angiogenesis inhibitor in the treatment of cancer. Since fumagillin is often used to treat microsporidiosis in bees, it can be found as a contaminant in honey.

Targets

General Function:
Poly(a) rna binding
Specific Function:
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). The catalytic activity of human METAP2 toward Met-Val peptides is consistently two orders of magnitude higher than that of METAP1, suggesting that it is responsible for processing proteins containing N-terminal Met-Val and Met-Thr sequences in vivo.Protects eukaryotic initiation factor EIF2S1 from translation-inhibiting phosphorylation by inhibitory kinases such as EIF2AK2/PKR and EIF2AK1/HCR. Plays a critical role in the regulation of protein synthesis.
Gene Name:
METAP2
Uniprot ID:
P50579
Molecular Weight:
52891.145 Da
Mechanism of Action:
Fumagillin blocks blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) by inhibiting the enzyme methionine aminopeptidase 2. This prevents angiogenesis by arresting endothelial cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Inhibition of angiogenesis can suppress tumor growth and metastasis. Methionine aminopeptidase 2 inhibition also blocks Wnt signaling, which plays a critical role in development, cell differentiation, and tumorigenesis.
