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).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Formyl-L-methionyl peptide + H₂O = formate + methionyl peptide.
COFACTOR: Binds 1 Fe(2+) ion (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the polypeptide deformylase family.
