Protein
Peptide deformylase 1
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Length
160 amino acids
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).
Similarity
Belongs to the polypeptide deformylase family.
