|
|
|
|
|
|
||
| UniProt code: Q93LE9. |
|
||
| Organism: | |
Leptospira interrogans serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai (strain 56601). |
| Taxonomy: | |
Bacteria; Spirochaetes; Leptospirales; Leptospiraceae; Leptospira. |
|
||
|
||
| 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). {ECO:0000250}. |
|
||
| Catalytic activity: | |
Reaction=H2O + N-terminal N-formyl-L-methionyl-[peptide] = formate + N- terminal L-methionyl-[peptide]; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24420, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:10639, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10640, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15740, ChEBI:CHEBI:49298, ChEBI:CHEBI:64731; EC=3.5.1.88; |
| Cofactor: | |
Name=Fe(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29033; Evidence={ECO:0000250}; Note=Binds 1 Fe(2+) ion. {ECO:0000250}; |
| Subunit: | |
Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15123432}. |
| Similarity: | |
