FUNCTIONAttaches a formyl group to the free amino group of methionyl- tRNA(fMet). The formyl group appears to play a dual role in the initiator identity of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA by promoting its recognition by IF2 and preventing the misappropriation of this tRNA by the elongation apparatus.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=(6R)-10-formyltetrahydrofolate + L-methionyl-tRNA(fMet) = (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + H(+) + N-formyl-L-methionyl- tRNA(fMet); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24380, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9952, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:9953, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57453, ChEBI:CHEBI:78530, ChEBI:CHEBI:78844, ChEBI:CHEBI:195366; EC=2.1.2.9;
SIMILARITYBelongs to the Fmt family.
