EC 1.2.7.12 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.2.7.12

Accepted name

formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase

Reaction

a formylmethanofuran + H₂O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster = CO₂ + a methanofuran + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster + 2 H⁺

Other name(s)

formylmethanofuran:acceptor oxidoreductase

Systematic name

formylmethanofuran:ferredoxin oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

119940-12-4

Comment

Contains a molybdopterin cofactor and numerous [4Fe-4S] clusters. In some organisms an additional subunit enables the incorporation of tungsten when molybdenum availability is low. The enzyme catalyses a reversible reaction in methanogenic archaea, and is involved in methanogenesis from CO₂ as well as the oxidation of coenzyme M to CO₂. The reaction is endergonic, and is driven by coupling with the soluble CoB-CoM heterodisulfide reductase via electron bifurcation.

History

created 1992 as EC 1.2.99.5, transferred 2017 to EC 1.2.7.12
