CC -!- FUNCTION: Attaches a formyl group to the free amino group of methionyl- CC tRNA(fMet). The formyl group appears to play a dual role in the CC initiator identity of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA by promoting its CC recognition by IF2 and preventing the misappropriation of this tRNA by CC the elongation apparatus. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00182}. CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: CC Reaction=(6R)-10-formyltetrahydrofolate + L-methionyl-tRNA(fMet) = CC (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + H(+) + N-formyl-L-methionyl- CC tRNA(fMet); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24380, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9952, Rhea:RHEA- CC COMP:9953, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57453, ChEBI:CHEBI:78530, CC ChEBI:CHEBI:78844, ChEBI:CHEBI:195366; EC=2.1.2.9; CC Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00182}; CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Fmt family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- CC Rule:MF_00182, ECO:0000305}.
