In enzymology, a peptide deformylase (EC 3.5.1.88) is an enzyme that removes the formyl group from the N terminus of nascent polypeptide chains in eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts.[1]
Peptide deformylases are metaloenzymes monomers and bind a metal cofactor, typically Fe(II) or Zn, in an active site. Cofactor identity impacts catalytic efficiency.[2]
There are two types of peptide deformylases, types I and II, which differ in structure mainly in the outer surface of the protein.
Human gene PDF (gene) possesses this activity.
