Abstract excerpt
MTHFD is a folate-dependent trifunctional protein comprised of three activities: N5,N10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, N5,N10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase, and N10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase. The enzymes catalyze sequential interconversion of tetrahydrofolate derivatives required for purine, methionine, and thymidylate synthesis. A Chinese hamster ovary cell line (Ade-E), reported to...
