EC 1.5.1.20

Accepted name: methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase [NAD(P)H]

Reaction: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate + NAD(P)+ = 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + NAD(P)H + H+

For diagram of reaction, click here or click here

Other name(s): MTHFR (gene name)

Systematic name: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase

Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme catalyses the reversible conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, playing an important role in folate metabolism by regulating the distribution of one-carbon moieties between cellular methylation reactions and nucleic acid synthesis. This enzyme, characterized from Protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania, is unique among similar characterized eukaryotic enzymes in that it lacks the C-terminal allosteric regulatory domain (allowing it to catalyse a reversible reaction) and uses NADH and NADPH with equal efficiency under physiological conditions. cf. EC 1.5.1.53, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NADPH); EC 1.5.1.54, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (NADH); and EC 1.5.7.1, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (ferredoxin).

Systematic name: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate:NAD+ oxidoreductase

Comments: A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme, found in plants and some bacteria, catalyses the reversible conversion of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate using NADH as the electron donor. It play an important role in folate metabolism by regulating the distribution of one-carbon moieties between cellular methylation reactions and nucleic acid synthesis. These proteins either contain a C-terminal domain that does not mediate allosteric regulation (as in plants) or lack this domain entirely (as in Escherichia coli). As a result, the plant enzymes are not inhibited by S-adenosyl-L-methionine, unlike other eukaryotic enzymes, and catalyse a reversible reaction. cf.

EC 1.5.3.13

Accepted name: N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase

Reaction: (1) N1-acetylspermidine + O2 + H2O = putrescine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2
(2) N1-acetylspermine + O2 + H2O = spermidine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2

Other name(s): hPAO-1; PAO (ambiguous); mPAO; hPAO; polyamine oxidase (ambiguous)

Systematic name: N1-acetylpolyamine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-acetamidopropanal-forming)

Comments: The enzyme also catalyses the reaction: N1,N12-diacetylspermine + O2 + H2O = N1-acetylspermidine + 3-acetamamidopropanal + H2O2 [1]. No or very weak activity with spermine, or spermidine in absence of aldehydes. In presence of aldehydes the enzyme catalyses the reactions: 1. spermine + O2 + H2O = spermidine + 3-aminopropanal + H2O2, and with weak efficiency 2. spermidine + O2 + H2O = putrescine + 3-aminopropanal + H2O2 [2]. A flavoprotein (FAD). This enzyme, encoded by the PAOX gene, is found in mammalian peroxisomes and oxidizes N1-acetylated polyamines at the exo (three-carbon) side of the secondary amine, forming 3-acetamamidopropanal. Since the products of the reactions are deacetylated polyamines, this process is known as polyamine back-conversion. Differs in specificity from EC 1.5.3.14 [polyamine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)], EC 1.5.3.15 [N8-acetylspermidine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)], EC 1.5.3.16 (spermine oxidase) and EC 1.5.3.17 (non-specific polyamine oxidase).

EC 1.5.3.14

Accepted name: polyamine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)

Reaction: spermidine + O2 + H2O = propane-1,3-diamine + 4-aminobutanal + H2O2

Other name(s): MPAO (ambiguous); maize PAO

Systematic name: spermidine:oxygen oxidoreductase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)

Comments: As the products of the reaction cannot be converted directly to other polyamines, this class of polyamine oxidases is considered to be involved in the terminal catabolism of polyamines [1]. This enzyme less efficiently catalyses the oxidation of N1-acetylspermine and spermine. A flavoprotein (FAD). Differs in specificity from EC 1.5.3.13 (N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase), EC 1.5.3.15 [N8-acetylspermidine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)], EC 1.5.3.16 (spermine oxidase) and EC 1.5.3.17 (non-specific polyamine oxidase).

Glossary: glyphosate = N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine

Other name(s): gox (gene name)

Systematic name: glyphosate oxidoreductase (aminomethylphosphonate-forming)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Ochrobactrum sp. G-1, contains an FAD cofactor. The catalytic cycle starts with a reduction of the FAD cofactor by one molecule of glyphosate, yielding reduced FAD and a Schiff base of aminomethylphosphonate with glyoxylate that is hydrolysed to the single components. The reduced FAD is reoxidized by oxygen, generating water and an oxygenated flavin intermediate, which catalyses the oxygenation of a second molecule of glyphosate, forming the second pair of aminomethylphosphonate and glyoxylate.

This enzyme, which contains an FAD cofactor, catalyses a deglycation reaction that regenerates the amine reactant. By-products are glucosone and hydrogen peroxide. The enzymes have been reported from fungi and bacteria, but not from higher eukaryotes. Specific enzymes differ in their substrate specificity. cf.

Accepted name: N,N-dimethylglycine/sarcosine dehydrogenase (ferredoxin)

Reaction: (1) N,N-dimethylglycine + 2 oxidized ferredoxin + H2O = sarcosine + formaldehyde + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+
(2) sarcosine + 2 oxidized ferredoxin + H2O = glycine + formaldehyde + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H+

Comments: This bacterial enzyme is involved in degradation of glycine betaine. The enzyme contains non-covalently bound FAD and NAD(P) cofactors, and catalyses the demethylation of both N,N-dimethylglycine and sarcosine, releasing formaldehyde and forming glycine as the final product. The enzyme can utilize both NAD+ and NADP+, but the catalytic efficiency with NAD+ is ~5-fold higher. The native electron acceptor of the enzyme is a membrane-bound clostridial-type ferredoxin, which transfers the electrons to an electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF).

EC 1.5.99.12

Accepted name: cytokinin dehydrogenase

Reaction: N6-prenylyladenine + acceptor + H2O = adenine + 3-methylbut-2-enal + reduced acceptor

Glossary: zeatin = (E)-2-methyl-4-(9H-purin-6-ylamino)but-2-en-1-ol = (E)-N6-(4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl)adenine
prenyl = 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl

Other name(s): N6-dimethylallyladenine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase; 6-N-dimethylallyladenine:acceptor oxidoreductase; OsCKX2; CKX; cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase

Systematic name: N6-prenyladenine:acceptor oxidoreductase

Comments: A flavoprotein(FAD). Catalyses the oxidation of cytokinins, a family of N6-substituted adenine derivatives that are plant hormones, where the substituent is a prenyl group. Although this activity was previously thought to be catalysed by a hydrogen-peroxide-forming oxidase, this enzyme does not require oxygen for activity and does not form hydrogen peroxide. 2,6-Dichloroindophenol, methylene blue, nitroblue tetrazolium, phenazine methosulfate and Cu(II) in the presence of imidazole can act as acceptors. This enzyme plays a part in regulating rice-grain production, with lower levels of the enzyme resulting in enhanced grain production [2].
