Unexpectedly, formyltransferase can also act upon eukaryotic initiator tRNA in living yeast cells. Even under normal conditions, the nuclear-encoded formyltransferase is not completely imported into mitochondria; even more is left in the cytosol under stress. These cytosolic formyltransferase produce
599:. Methionine itself can be loaded either onto tRNA or tRNA. However, formyltransferase will catalyze the addition of the formyl group to methionine only if methionine has been loaded onto tRNA, not onto tRNA. This is because the formyltransferase recognizes specific features of tRNA.
669:
The formyl group is not strictly required for initiation. Bacteria with their formyltransferase knocked out, which prevents Met-tRNA (i.e. methionine loaded onto tRNA) from turning into fMet-tRNA, can have varying degrees of residual ability to start protein synthesis.
570:
fMet is required for efficient initiaiton of protein synthesis in most groups of bacteria. The 30S ribosome–mRNA complex specifically recruits tRNAs with a formylated amino acid – tRNA attached to fMet in the natural case.
737:
Since fMet is present in proteins made by mitochondria and chloroplasts, more recent theories do not see it as a molecule that the immune system can use to distinguish self from non-self. Instead, fMet-containing
