Formyl tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase

Several other cellular target proteins for the reactive metabolite of paracetamol have also been detected and identified, namely, formyl tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, glyceralde-hyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and GSH transferase, all cytosolic proteins. [Pg.316]

The activity of 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the oxidation of 10-formyl tetrahydrofolate to CO2 and tetrahydrofolate, is reduced at times of low methionine availability as a means of conserving valuable one-carbon fragments. Therefore, there is no sink for one-carbon substituted tetrahydrofolate, and increasing amounts of folate are trapped as methyl-tetrahydrofolate that cannot be used because of the lack ofvitantin B12 (Krebs etal., 1976). [Pg.292]

In experimental animals and with isolated tissue preparations and organ cultures, the test can be refined by measuring the production of G02 from [ C]histidine in the presence and absence of added methionine. If the impairment of histidine metabolism is the result of primary folate deficiency, the addition of methionine wUl have no effect. By contrast, if the problem is trapping of folate as methyl-tetrahydrofolate, the addition of methionine will restore normal histidine oxidation as a result of restoring the inhibition of methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase by S-adenosylmethionine and restoring the activity of 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, thus permitting more normal folate metabolism (Section 10.3.4.1). [Pg.317]

The enzymatic activity of amido phosphoribosyltransferase (P-Rib-PP— PR A) is low and flux through the de novo pathway in vivo is regulated by the end-products, AMP, IMP and GMP. Inhibition of reaction 1 by dihydrofolate polyglutamates would signal the unavailability of /V1()-formyl tetrahydrofolate, required as a substrate at reactions 3 and 9 of the pathway. The purine pathway is subject to further regulation at the branch point from IMP XMP is a potent inhibitor of IMP cyclohydrolase (FAICAR—> IMP), AMP inhibits adenylosuccinate synthetase (IMP—> sAMP) and GMP inhibits IMP dehydrogenase (IMP— XMP). [Pg.440]

Methylene-, methenyl-, and 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolates are freely interconvertible. The two activities involved - methylene-tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase and methenyl-tetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase - form a trifunctional enzyme with 10-formyl-tetrahydrofolate synthetase (Paukert et al., 1976). This means that single-carbon fragments entering the folate pool in any form other than as methyl-tetrahydrofolate can be readily available for any of the biosynthetic reactions shown in Figure 10.4. [Pg.283]

Human IMP synthase has a subunit molecular weight of 62.1 kDa and associates as a dimer. A trifunctional enzyme, Cj-THF synthase, containing (V °-methenyl tetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH-THF) cyclohydrolase and A °-formyl tetrahydrofolate (lO-CHO-THF) synthetase, catalyzes the reactions 5,10-CH2-THF 5,10-CH-THF and THF —> lO-CHO-THF. The A °-CH-THF produced is a substrate for GAR and AICAR transformylases catalyzing reactions 3 and 9 of the pathway. In higher eukaryotes, the dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase activities are located in one domain of the protein, which is fused to a larger synthetase domain, forming a trifunctional enzyme. [Pg.445]

Thus, acetyl-CoA oxidation via the acetyl-CoA pathway in Archaeoglobus fulgidus differs from that of eubacterial sulfate reducers in several respects It involves tetrahydromethanopterin rather than tetrahydrofolate (H4F) as Ci carrier, and formyl-methanofiiran rather than free formate as an intermediate. Furthermore, coenzyme F420 serves as electron acceptor of two dehydrogenases. In eubacterial sulfate reducers the oxidation of acetyl-CoA to CO2 involves the exergonic formyl-H4F conversion to formate and H4F, which is catalyzed by formyl-H4F synthetase this reaction is coupled with ATP synthesis by the mechanism of substrate level phosphorylation (for literature see refs. [90,209]). The different mechanism of formyl-H4MPT conversion to... [Pg.160]
