methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [NAD(P)H]  M-CSA #120

E. coli methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) catalyses the NADH-dependent reduction of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (CH2-H4folate) to 5 methyltetrahydrofolate (CH3-H4folate) using the cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as an intermediate hydride acceptor and donor. MTHFR is the only route of CH3-H4folate which is used by methionine synthase to convert homocysteine to methionine.

E. coli MTHFR is a homotetramer that dissociates into dimers on dilution. Its catalytic domain is a (beta-alpha)8 barrel. Bacterial MTHFR enzymes are simpler than mammalian MTHFR in that the catatlytic domain constitutes the entire sequence, with no regulatory sequence present.
