IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 1.5.98.3

Accepted name: coenzyme F420:methanophenazine dehydrogenase

Reaction: reduced coenzyme F420 + methanophenazine = oxidized coenzyme F420 + dihydromethanophenazine

Glossary: methanophenazine = 2-{[(6E,10E,14E)-3,7,11,15,19-pentamethylicosa-6,10,14,18-tetraen-1-yl]oxy}phenazine
dihydromethanophenazine = 2-{[(6E,10E,14E)-3,7,11,15,19-pentamethylicosa-6,10,14,18-tetraen-1-yl]oxy}-5,10-dihydrophenazine

Other name(s): F420H2 dehydrogenase; fpoBCDIF (gene names)

Systematic name: reduced coenzyme F420:methanophenazine oxidoreductase

Comments: The enzyme, found in some methanogenic archaea, is responsible for the reoxidation of coenzyme F420, which is reduced during methanogenesis, and for the reduction of methanophenazine to dihydromethanophenazine, which is required by EC 1.8.98.1, dihydromethanophenazine:CoB-CoM heterodisulfide reductase. The enzyme is membrane-bound, and is coupled to proton translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane, generating a proton motive force that is used for ATP generation.
