Gene
fae
Protein
5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin hydro-lyase
Organism
Methylobacterium extorquens (strain ATCC 14718 / DSM 1338 / JCM 2805 / NCIMB 9133 / AM1)
Length
170 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the condensation of formaldehyde with tetrahydromethanopterin (H(4)MPT) to 5,10-methylenetetrahydromethanopterin, a reaction which also proceeds spontaneously, but at a lower rate than that of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. Is an essential enzyme for methylotrophic energy metabolism and formaldehyde detoxification of this bacterium.
Similarity
Belongs to the formaldehyde-activating enzyme family.
Mass
18.091 kDa
