formate:tetrahydrofolate ligase (ADP-forming)
In eukaryotes occurs as a trifunctional enzyme also having methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.5.1.5) and methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase (EC 3.5.4.9) activity.
MTHFD1 is a cytoplasmic enzyme with 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, and 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase activities
DCS, complete gene and exon 27; gene mthfd1 encodes the cytosolic isozyme which is a trifunctional methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase enzyme DCS, a mitochondrial monofunctional 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase isozyme is encoded by a different gene
the MTHFD1L transcript is detected at all stages of mouse embryogenesis examined. MTHFD1L is expressed ubiquitously throughout the embryo but with localized regions of higher expression. The spatial pattern of MTHFD1L expression is virtually indistinguishable from that of MTHFD2 and cytoplasmic C1-THF synthase MTHFD1 in embryonic day 9.5 mouse embryos
MTHFD1L enzyme is present in mitochondria from normal embryonic tissues and embryonic fibroblast cell lines, and embryonic mitochondria possess the ability to synthesize formate from glycine. Greater than 75% of 1-C units entering the cytoplasmic methyl cycle are mitochondrially derived
complete loss of synthetase activity is incompatible with life. Embryos die shortly after 10.5 days gestation, and are developmentally delayed or abnormal. Female synthetase-deficient mice have decreased neutrophil counts during pregnancy and increased incidence of developmental defects in embryos. Synthetase deficiency may lead to pregnancy complications through decreased purine synthesis and reduced cellular proliferation
