Methionine aminopeptidases (MetAPs) remove the N-terminal initiator methionine during protein synthesis, a prerequisite step for N-terminal myristoylation. N-myristoylation of protooncogene c-Src is essential for its membrane association and proper signal transduction. We used bengamides, a family of general MetAP inhibitors, to understand the downstream physiological functions of MetAPs. c-Src from bengamide A-treated cells retained its N-terminal methionine and suffered a decrease in N-terminal myristoylation, which was accompanied by a shift of its subcellular distribution from the plasma membrane to the cytosol. Furthermore, bengamide A decreased the tyrosine kinase activities of c-Src both in vitro and in vivo and eventually delayed cell-cycle progression through G(2)/M. Thus, c-Src is a physiologically relevant substrate for MetAPs whose dysfunction is likely to account for the cell-cycle effects of MetAP inhibitors including bengamide A.
