1.5.1.15 | 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + NAD+ = 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate + NADH + H+ | the reaction catalyzed by Escherichia coli MTHFR can be divided into a reductive half-reaction and an oxidative half-reaction, respectively, in which the FAD cofactor acts as an intermediate electron acceptor and donor. The enzyme employs a ping-pong bi-bi kinetic mechanism, in which the release of NAD+, the product of the first half-reaction, precedes binding of the substrate CH2-H4folate in the second half-reaction. Rapid-reaction kinetic studies have established that the enzyme catalyzes these half-reactions at rates consistent with the observed rate of overall turnover. Proposed mechanism for the oxidative half-reaction, overview | Escherichia coli |

1.5.1.15 | evolution | the Escherichia coli enzyme differs from the characterized pig, human, and yeast MTHFRs (EC 1.5.1.5) in its preference for NADH over NADPH as substrate and by the absence of a regulatory domain. Structures of Ered(wild-type)-NADH and Eox(Glu28Gln)-CH3-H4folate complexes reveal that the ligands occupy partially overlapping sites at the si face of the FAD. Thus, the binding of one substrate to the enzyme prevents the binding of the other substrate, consistent with the ping-pong bi-bi kinetic mechanism. But the structures reveal that the active site conformations of NADH and CH3-H4folate are remarkably different | Escherichia coli |
