Removes the formyl group from the N-terminal Met of newly synthesized proteins. Requires at least a dipeptide for an efficient rate of reaction. N-terminal L-methionine is a prerequisite for activity but the enzyme has broad specificity at other positions. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-183 from full length S. aureus Peptide Deformylase, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in Yeast.
