EC Tree
IUBMB Comments
A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme catalyses the reversible conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, playing an important role in folate metabolism by regulating the distribution of one-carbon moieties between cellular methylation reactions and nucleic acid synthesis. This enzyme, characterized from Protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, is unique among similar characterized eukaryotic enzymes in that it lacks the C-terminal allosteric regulatory domain (allowing it to catalyse a reversible reaction) and uses NADH and NADPH with equal efficiency under physiological conditions. cf. EC 1.5.1.53, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NADPH); EC 1.5.1.54, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NADH); and EC 1.5.7.1, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (ferredoxin).

alterations in the hydrophobic interactions by 1 M urea lead to dissociation of the native tetramer, resulting in stabilization of enzymatically active holoenzyme dimers, at 3 M urea followed by unfolding of the dimers to denatured monomers along with dissociation of FAD from the enzyme subunits, alterations of the electrostatic interactions by 1.2 M NaCl lead to dissociation of the enzyme into inactive, partially denatured dimers

LITERATURE
A177V
mutation does not affect Km or kcat values for NADH or 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate
F223A
mutation impairs both NADH and methylenetetrahydrofolate binding each 40fold and slows catalysis of both half-reactins less than 2fold
F223L
affinity for methylenetetrahydrofolate is unaffeacted. Mutant catalyzes the oxidative half-reaction 3fold faster than wild-type
