Short name=PDF
EC=3.5.1.88
Alternative name(s):
Polypeptide deformylase
Gene names
Name:def
Ordered Locus Names:RT0197
OrganismRickettsia typhi (strain ATCC VR-144 / Wilmington) [Complete proteome] [HAMAP]
Taxonomic identifier257363 [NCBI]
Taxonomic lineageBacteria › Proteobacteria › Alphaproteobacteria › Rickettsiales › Rickettsiaceae › Rickettsieae › Rickettsia › typhus group ›

Protein attributes

Sequence length175 AA.
Sequence statusComplete.
Protein existenceInferred from homology

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 By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00163

Catalytic activity

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

Cofactor

Binds 1 Fe2+ ion By similarity. HAMAP-Rule MF_00163

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the polypeptide deformylase family.
