Discovery of a distinct type of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase family that couples with tetrahydrofolate-dependent demethylases

Abstract Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in one-carbon (1C) metabolism, catalyzing the reduction of methylenetetrahydrofolate to methyltetrahydrofolate. Interestingly, Sphingobium lignivorans SYK-6, a model bacterium for the catabolism of lignin-derived aromatic compounds...
