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.
