The X-ray structure of the NAD-dependent 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Monzingo A.F., Breksa A., Ernst S., Appling D.R., Robertus J.D.
Eucaryotes possess one or more NADP-dependent methylene-THF dehydrogenases as part of multifunctional enzymes. In addition, yeast expresses an unusual monofunctional NAD-dependent enzyme, yMTD. We report X-ray structures for the apoenzyme and its complex with NAD+ at 2.8 and 3.0 A resolution, resp ... >> More
Eucaryotes possess one or more NADP-dependent methylene-THF dehydrogenases as part of multifunctional enzymes. In addition, yeast expresses an unusual monofunctional NAD-dependent enzyme, yMTD. We report X-ray structures for the apoenzyme and its complex with NAD+ at 2.8 and 3.0 A resolution, respectively. The protein fold resembles that seen for the human and Escherichia coli dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase bifunctional enzymes. The enzyme has two prominent domains, with the active site cleft between them. yMTD has a noncanonical NAD-binding domain that has two inserted strands compared with the NADP-binding domains of the bifunctional enzymes. This insert precludes yMTD from dimerizing in the same way as the bifunctional enzymes. yMTD functions as a dimer, but the mode of dimerization is novel. It does not appear that the difference in dimerization accounts for the difference in cofactor specificity or for the loss of cyclohydrolase activity. These functional differences are probably accounted for by minor differences within the tertiary structure of the active site of the monomeric protein. << Less

Previous studies in our laboratory showed that isolated, intact adult rat liver mitochondria are able to oxidize the 3-carbon of serine and the N-methyl carbon of sarcosine to formate without the addition of any other cofactors or substrates. Conversion of these 1-carbon units to formate requires several folate-interconverting enzymes in mitochondria. The enzyme(s) responsible for conversion of 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate (CH(2)-THF) to 10-formyl-THF in adult mammalian mitochondria are currently unknown. A new mitochondrial CH(2)-THF dehydrogenase isozyme, encoded by the MTHFD2L gene, has now been identified. The recombinant protein exhibits robust NADP(+)-dependent CH(2)-THF dehydrogenase activity when expressed in yeast. The enzyme is localized to mitochondria when expressed in CHO cells and behaves as a peripheral membrane protein, tightly associated with the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane. The MTHFD2L gene is subject to alternative splicing and is expressed in adult tissues in humans and rodents. This CH(2)-THF dehydrogenase isozyme thus fills the remaining gap in the pathway from CH(2)-THF to formate in adult mammalian mitochondria. << Less
