'''Crystal structure of the N terminal hydrolase domain of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase'''<br />
'''Crystal structure of the N terminal hydrolase domain of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
10-Formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (FDH) converts, 10-formyltetrahydrofolate, a precursor for nucleotide biosynthesis, to, tetrahydrofolate. The protein comprises two functional domains: a, hydrolase domain that removes a formyl group from, 10-formyltetrahydrofolate and a NADP(+)-dependent dehydrogenase domain, that reduces the formyl to carbon dioxide. As a first step toward, deciphering the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme, we have determined the, crystal structure of the hydrolase domain of FDH from rat, solved to 2.3-A, resolution. The structure comprises two domains. As expected, domain 1, shares the same Rossmann fold as the related enzymes, methionyl-tRNA-formyltransferase and glycinamide ribonucleotide, formyltransferase, but, unexpectedly, the structural similarity between, the amino-terminal domain of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase and, methionyl-tRNA-formyltransferase extends to the C terminus of both, proteins. The active site contains a molecule of beta-mercaptoethanol that, is positioned between His-106 and Asp-142 and that appears to mimic the, formate product. We propose a catalytic mechanism for the hydrolase, reaction in which Asp-142 polarizes the catalytic water molecule and, His-106 orients the carbonyl group of formyl. The structure also provides, clues as to how, in the native enzyme, the hydrolase domain transfers its, product to the dehydrogenase domain.
