5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase

10588n/aENSG00000136371n/anan/an/an/an/an/aIn enzymology, a 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase (EC 6.3.3.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically the cyclo-ligases, which form carbon-nitrogen bonds.

The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase (ADP-forming).

As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1SBQ, 1SOU, 1U3F, 1U3G, and 2JCB.
