This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism and one carbon pool by folate.In eukaryotes the FTHFS activity is expressed by a multifunctional enzyme, C-1-tetrahydrofolate synthase (C1-THF synthase), which also catalyses the dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase activities. Two forms of C1-THF synthases are known, one is located in the mitochondrial matrix, while the second one is cytoplasmic.[1] In both forms the FTHFS domain consists of about 600 amino acid residues and is located in the C-terminal section of C1-THF synthase. In prokaryotes FTHFS activity is expressed by a monofunctional homotetrameric enzyme of about 560 amino acid residues.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsNomenclature[edit]Examples[edit]Structural studies[edit]Related enzymes[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]Nomenclature[edit]The systematic name of this enzyme class is formate:tetrahydrofolate ligase (ADP-forming). Other names in common use include:formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase,10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase,tetrahydrofolic formylase, andtetrahydrofolate formylase.Examples[edit]Human genes encoding formate-tetrahydrofolate ligases include:Structural studies[edit]As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1EG7, 1FP7, and 1FPM.The crystal structure of N(10)-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase from Moorella thermoacetica shows that the subunit is composed of three domains organised around three mixed beta-sheets. There are two cavities between adjacent domains. One of them was identified as the nucleotide binding site by homology modelling. The large domain contains a seven-stranded beta-sheet surrounded by helices on both sides. The second domain contains a five-stranded beta-sheet with two alpha-helices packed on one side while the other two are a wall of the active site cavity. The third domain contains a four-stranded beta-sheet forming a half-barrel. The concave side is covered by two helices while the convex side is another wall of the large cavity. Arg 97 is likely involved in formyl phosphate binding. The tetrameric molecule is relatively flat with the shape of the letter X, and the active sites are located at the end of the subunits far from the subunit interface.[3]Related enzymes[edit]The reverse reaction converting 10-formyltetrahydrofolate to tetrahydrofolate is performed by formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase.References[edit]^ Shannon KW, Rabinowitz JC (June 1988). &#8220;Isolation and characterization of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae MIS1 gene encoding mitochondrial C1-tetrahydrofolate synthase&#8221;.
