IUBMB Comments

In those organisms producing N-formylmethionyl-tRNAfMet for translation initiation, this enzyme also recognizes the initiator tRNAfMet and catalyses the formation of L-methionyl-tRNAfMet, the substrate for EC 2.1.2.9, methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase.

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
