Peptide deformylase (PDF) catalyzes the hydrolytic removal of the N-terminal formyl group from newly synthesized polypeptides in eubacteria and the organelles of certain eukaryotes. PDF is a novel class of amide hydrolase, which utilizes an Fe2+ ion to effect the hydrolysis of an amide bond. The ferrous ion is tetrahedrally coordinated by two histidines from a conserved HEXXH motif, a cysteine, and a water molecule. In this work, the function of the conserved glutamate (Glu-133 in Escherichia coli PDF) is evaluated by difference FTIR spectroscopic analysis of a Co(II)-substituted E. coli wild-type and E133D mutant PDF.
