EC 1.2.98.1 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.2.98.1

Accepted name

formaldehyde dismutase

Reaction

2 formaldehyde + H₂O = formate + methanol

Other name(s)

aldehyde dismutase, cannizzanase, nicotinoprotein aldehyde dismutase

Systematic name

formaldehyde:formaldehyde oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

85204-94-0

Comment

The enzyme contains a tightly but noncovalently bound NADP(H) cofactor, as well as Zn²⁺ and Mg²⁺. Enzyme-bound NADPH formed by oxidation of formaldehyde to formate is oxidized back to NADP⁺ by reaction with a second formaldehyde, yielding methanol. The enzyme from the bacterium Mycobacterium sp. DSM 3803 also catalyses the reactions of EC 1.1.99.36, alcohol dehydrogenase (nicotinoprotein) and EC 1.1.99.37, methanol dehydrogenase (nicotinoprotein) [3]. Formaldehyde and acetaldehyde can act as donors; formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and propanal can act as acceptors [1,2].

History

created 1986 as EC 1.2.99.4, modified 2012, transferred 2015 to EC 1.2.98.1
