Protein
Formyltransferase/hydrolase complex subunit D
Organism
Methylobacterium extorquens (strain ATCC 14718 / DSM 1338 / JCM 2805 / NCIMB 9133 / AM1)
Function
Involved in the transformation of 5-formyl tetrahydromethanopterin (5-formyl-H(4)MPT) to methanofuran (MFR) and formate via the intermediate formylmethanofuran (formyl-MFR). Catalyzes the transfer of a formyl group from 5-formyl-H(4)MPT to MFR so as to produce tetrahydromethanopterin (H(4)MPT) and formyl-MFR, which is then hydrolyzed to formate and MFR.
Similarity
Belongs to the FTR family.
