EC 1.2.99.5 Details
EC number
1.2.99.5
Accepted name
formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase
Reaction
formylmethanofuran + H2O + acceptor = CO2 + methanofuran + reduced acceptor
Other name(s)
formylmethanofuran:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
Systematic name
formylmethanofuran:acceptor oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
119940-12-4
Comment
A molybdoprotein containing a pterin cofactor. Tungstate can substitute for molybdate. The enzyme catalyses a reversible reaction in methanogenic bacteria, and is involved in methanogenesis from CO2 as well as the oxidation of methyl-coenzyme M to CO2. Methylviologen can act as acceptor. Also oxidizes N-furfurylformamide.
