Q9GZS3

Cotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine fromnascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved whenthe second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged(Met-Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). The catalyticactivity of human METAP2 toward Met-Val peptides is consistentlytwo orders of magnitude higher than that of METAP1, suggestingthat it is responsible for processing proteins containing N-terminal Met-Val and Met-Thr sequences in vivo. Protects eukaryotic initiation factor EIF2S1 fromtranslation-inhibiting phosphorylation by inhibitory kinases suchas EIF2AK2/PKR and EIF2AK1/HCR. Plays a critical role in theregulation of protein synthesis. Component of the PAF1 complex (PAF1C) which has multiplefunctions during transcription by RNA polymerase II and isimplicated in regulation of development and maintenance ofembryonic stem cell pluripotency. PAF1C associates with RNApolymerase II through interaction with POLR2A CTD non-phosphorylated and 'Ser-2'- and 'Ser-5'-phosphorylated forms andis involved in transcriptional elongation, acting bothindepentently and synergistically with TCEA1 and in cooperationwith the DSIF complex and HTATSF1. PAF1C is required fortranscription of Hox and Wnt target genes. PAF1C is involved inhematopoiesis and stimulates transcriptional activity ofKMT2A/MLL1; it promotes leukemogenesis through association withKMT2A/MLL1-rearranged oncoproteins, such as KMT2A/MLL1-MLLT3/AF9and KMT2A/MLL1-MLLT1/ENL. PAF1C is involved in histonemodifications such as ubiquitination of histone H2B andmethylation on histone H3 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3). PAF1C recruits theRNF20/40 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex and the E2 enzymeUBE2A or UBE2B to chromatin which mediate monoubiquitination of'Lys-120' of histone H2B (H2BK120ub1); UB2A/B-mediated H2Bubiquitination is proposed to be coupled to transcription. PAF1Cis involved in mRNA 3' end formation probably through associationwith cleavage and poly(A) factors. In case of infection byinfluenza A strain H3N2, PAF1C associates with viral NS1 protein,thereby regulating gene transcription. Required for mono- andtrimethylation on histone H3 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3), dimethylation onhistone H3 'Lys-79' (H3K4me3). Required for Hox genetranscription. Component of the SKI complex which is thought to beinvolved in exosome-mediated RNA decay and associates withtranscriptionally active genes in a manner dependent on PAF1C.{ECO:0000269|PubMed:16024656, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16307923,ECO:0000269|PubMed:19952111, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20178742}.
