EC 1.5.8.4 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.5.8.4

Accepted name

dimethylglycine dehydrogenase

Reaction

N,N-dimethylglycine + 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + electron-transfer flavoprotein = sarcosine + 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein

Other name(s)

N,N-dimethylglycine oxidase, N,N-dimethylglycine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (demethylating), Me2GlyDH, N,N-dimethylglycine:electron-transfer flavoprotein oxidoreductase (demethylating)

Systematic name

N,N-dimethylglycine,5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate:electron-transferflavoprotein oxidoreductase (demethylating,5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate-forming)

CAS registry number

37256-30-7

Comment

A flavoprotein, containing a histidyl(N^π)-(8α)FAD linkage at position 91 in the human protein. An imine intermediate is channeled from the FAD binding site to the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate binding site through a 40 Å tunnel [5,8,9]. In the absence of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate the enzyme forms formaldehyde [5,9].

History

created 1972 as EC 1.5.99.2, transferred 2012 to EC 1.5.8.4, modified 2017
