FunctionRemoves the formyl group from the N-terminal met of newly synthesized proteins [catalytic activity: N-formyl-L-methionine + H2O = formate + L-methionine].
ProductProbable polypeptide deformylase Def (PDF) (formylmethionine deformylase)
CommentsRv0429c, (MTCY22G10.26c), len: 197 aa. Probable def, polypeptide deformylase, equivalent to CAC30884.1|AL583923 polypeptide deformylase from Mycobacterium leprae (197 aa). Also similar to others e.g. DEF_ECOLI|P27251|95874|S23107 polypeptide deformylase from Escherichia coli (169 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 179, E(): 1.8e-05, (34.6% identity in 162 aa overlap); etc. Belongs to the polypeptide deformylase family. Cofactor: binds 1 zinc ion.
Functional categoryInformation pathways
ProteomicsIdentified by mass spectrometry in whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate or membrane protein fraction (See de Souza et al., 2011).
MutantEssential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Essential gene by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis in H37Rv strain (see Sassetti et al., 2003). Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
