| Type: | Family | Name: | Methionine tRNA Formyltransferase-like |
| Description: | Methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase () transfers a formyl group onto the amino terminus of the acyl moiety of the methionyl aminoacyl-tRNA. The formyl group appears to play a dual role in the initiator identity of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA by promoting its recognition by IF2 and by impairing its binding to EFTU-GTP. This protein also includes formyl tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenases, which produce formate from formyl-tetrahydrofolate. These enzymes contain an N-terminal domain in common with other formyl transferase enzymes (). The C-terminal domain has an open beta-barrel fold []. | Short Name: | Met_tRNA_Form_TA-like |
