EC 1.5.1.47 Details
EC number
1.5.1.47
Accepted name
dihydromethanopterin reductase [NAD(P)+]
Reaction
5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin + NAD(P)+ = 7,8-dihydromethanopterin + NAD(P)H + H+
Other name(s)
DmrA, H2MPT reductase, 5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin 5,6-oxidoreductase, dihydromethanopterin reductase
Systematic name
5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin:NAD(P)+ 5,6-oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Methylobacterium extorquens, is involved in biosynthesis of dephospho-tetrahydromethanopterin. The specific activity with NADH is 15% of that with NADPH at the same concentration [1]. It does not reduce 7,8-dihydrofolate (cf. EC 1.5.1.3, dihydrofolate reductase).
