Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses three isozymes of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (MTD). The NAD-dependent enzyme is the first monofunctional form found in eukaryotes. Here we report its crystallization in a form suitable for high-resolution structure. The space group is P4(2)2(1)2 with cell constants a = b = 75.9, c = 160.0 A, and there is one 36 kDa molecule in the asymmetric unit. Crystals diffract to 2.9 A resolution.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008754 Methylenetetrahydrofolate Dehydrogenase (NADP) An NADP-dependent oxidoreductase that catalyses the conversion of 5,10-methyleneterahydrofolate to 5,10-methenyl-tetrahydrofolate. In higher eukaryotes a trifunctional enzyme exists with additional METHENYLTETRAHYDROFOLATE CYCLOHYDROLASE and FORMATE-TETRAHYDROFOLATE LIGASE activity. The enzyme plays an important role in the synthesis of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the methyl donor for the VITAMIN B12-dependent remethylation of HOMOCYSTEINE to METHIONINE via METHIONINE SYNTHETASE.

D009243 NAD A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).
