ENZYME entry: EC 1.5.8.4

Accepted Name
dimethylglycine dehydrogenase
Alternative Name(s)
Me2GlyDH
Reaction catalysed
(6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolyl-(gamma-L-Glu)(n) + H(+) + N,N-dimethylglycine + oxidized [electron-transfer flavoprotein] = (6R)-5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolyl-(gamma-L-Glu)(n) + reduced [electron-transfer flavoprotein] + sarcosine
Comment(s)
  • An imine intermediate is channeled from the FAD binding site to the 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate binding site through a 40 A tunnel.
  • In the absence of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate the enzyme forms formaldehyde.
  • Formerly EC 1.5.99.2.
