Structural highlights
FunctionFPGS_LACCA Involved in the conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives, and likely functions in the retention of cellular folate pools. Catalyzes successive MgATP-dependent additions of glutamate to a pteroylmonoglutamate substrate, with a high preference for 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (mTHF). Thus, metabolizes mTHF to the tetraglutamate derivative, but longer glutamate chain length products are not observed. Tetrahydrofolate (H4PteGlu) and 10-formyl-H4PteGlu are poorer folate substrates. In contrast to E.coli FolC, this enzyme does not display dihydrofolate synthase activity.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
