5-formyltetrahydrofolate cyclo-ligase or methenyl-THF synthetase EC:6.3.3.2 catalyses the interchange of 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (5-FTHF) to 5-10-methenyltetrahydrofolate, this requires ATP and Mg2+ [1]. 5-FTHF is used in chemotherapy where it is clinically known as Leucovorin [2].
Tetrahydrofolates (THFs) are cofactors that donate or accept single carbon units in metabolic processes. 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (MTHFS) is the only known enzyme to use 5-formylTHF. MTHFS catalyses tbe conversion of 5-formyTHF to 5,10-methenylTHF coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP in the presence of magnesium. In solution, MTHFS exists 50% dimeric form, 50% in monomeric form.
