EC 1.1.5.6 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.1.5.6

Accepted name

formate dehydrogenase-N

Reaction

formate + a quinone = CO₂ + a quinol

Other name(s)

Fdh-N, FdnGHI, nitrate-inducible formate dehydrogenase, formate dehydrogenase N, FDH-N, nitrate inducible Fdn, nitrate inducible formate dehydrogenase

Systematic name

formate:quinone oxidoreductase

Comment

The enzyme contains molybdopterin-guanine dinucleotides, five [4Fe-4S] clusters and two heme b groups. Formate dehydrogenase-N oxidizes formate in the periplasm, transferring electrons via the menaquinone pool in the cytoplasmic membrane to a dissimilatory nitrate reductase (EC 1.7.5.1), which transfers electrons to nitrate in the cytoplasm. The system generates proton motive force under anaerobic conditions [3].
