General annotation (Comments)

Function

Removes the formyl group from the N-terminal Met of newly synthesized proteins. Requires at least a dipeptide for an efficient rate of reaction. N-terminal L-methionine is a prerequisite for activity but the enzyme has broad specificity at other positions. HAMAP MF_00163

Catalytic activity

Formyl-L-methionyl peptide + H2O = formate + methionyl peptide. HAMAP MF_00163

Cofactor

Binds 1 Fe2+ ion per monomer. Ref.7

Subunit structure

Monomer. HAMAP MF_00163

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the polypeptide deformylase family.
