General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism the dehydrogenase activity of FolD catalyses NADP+-dependent oxidation of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate. The 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase activity in Clostridium perfringens is provided by another protein, the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase FchA, whose cyclohydrolase activity is 10 times more efficient than that of Eco FolD. Both Clostridium perfringens FolD and FchA are required to substitute for the single bifunctional FolD in Escherichia coli. The simultaneous presence of Clostridium perfringens FolD and FchA is also necessary to rescue an Escherichia coli K16 folD deletion strain for its formate and glycine auxotrophies, and to alleviate its susceptibility to trimethoprim (an antifolate drug) or UV light Clostridium perfringens
metabolism the enzyme plays a central role in folate homeostasis and serve as targets for antibacterials Clostridium perfringens
physiological function unlike the bifunctional enzyme FolD of Escherichia coli, and contrary to its annotated bifunctional nature, Clostridium perfringens FolD is a monofunctional 5,10-CH2-THF dehydrogenase. The dehydrogenase activity of Clostridium perfringens FolD is about five times more efficient than that of Escherichia coli FolD. FolD plays an important role in maintaining the NADP+/NADPH ratio Clostridium perfringens
