LITERATURE
analysis
development of a functional complementation assay for 5-CHO-THF metabolism in Escherichia coli, based on deleting the gene encoding 5-FCL. The deletion mutant accumulates 5-formyltetrahydrofolate and,with glycine as sole nitrogen source, shows a growth defect, both phenotypes are complemented by bacterial or archaeal genes encoding glutamate formiminotransferase. Glutamate formiminotransferases functionally replace 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligases in certain prokaryotes
