RT deformylase and methionyl-tRNA(fMet) formyltransferase.";

CC -!- FUNCTION: Attaches a formyl group to the free amino group of methionyl-
CC tRNA(fMet). The formyl group appears to play a dual role in the
CC initiator identity of N-formylmethionyl-tRNA by promoting its
CC recognition by IF2 and preventing the misappropriation of this tRNA by
CC the elongation apparatus. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00182}.
CC -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC Reaction=(6S)-10-formyltetrahydrofolate + L-methionyl-tRNA(fMet) =
CC (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + H(+) + N-formyl-L-methionyl-
CC tRNA(fMet); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24380, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9952, Rhea:RHEA-

CC Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00182};
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Fmt family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-
CC Rule:MF_00182, ECO:0000305}.
