geneOn this page
Summary
MTHFD1 (methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, cyclohydrolase and formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase 1, HGNC:7432) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q23.3, encoding C-1-tetrahydrofolate synthase, cytoplasmic (P11586). Trifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of three forms of one-carbon-substituted tetrahydrofolate: (6R)-5,10-methylene-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate and (6S)-10-formyltetrahydrofolate. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 28.7% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that possesses three distinct enzymatic activities, 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase and 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase. Each of these activities catalyzes one of three sequential reactions in the interconversion of 1-carbon derivatives of tetrahydrofolate, which are substrates for methionine, thymidylate, and de novo purine syntheses. The trifunctional enzymatic activities are conferred by two major domains, an aminoterminal portion containing the dehydrogenase and cyclohydrolase activities and a larger synthetase domain.

Function. Trifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of three forms of one-carbon-substituted tetrahydrofolate: (6R)-5,10-methylene-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate, 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate and (6S)-10-formyltetrahydrofolate. These derivatives of tetrahydrofolate are differentially required in nucleotide and amino acid biosynthesis, (6S)-10-formyltetrahydrofolate being required for purine biosynthesis while (6R)-5,10-methylene-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate is used for serine and methionine biosynthesis for instance.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Disease relevance. Neural tube defects, folate-sensitive (NTDFS) [MIM:601634] The most common NTDs are open spina bifida (myelomeningocele) and anencephaly. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Colorectal cancer (CRC) [MIM:114500] A complex disease characterized by malignant lesions arising from the inner wall of the large intestine (the colon) and the rectum. Genetic alterations are often associated with progression from premalignant lesion (adenoma) to invasive adenocarcinoma. Risk factors for cancer of the colon and rectum include colon polyps, long-standing ulcerative colitis, and genetic family history. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Susceptibility to colorectal cancer may be associated with the missense variant p.Arg134Lys, which has been observed in about 16% of the human population. The sequence shown in this entry represents the minor allele, as it is reported in the reference genome. Combined immunodeficiency and megaloblastic anemia with or without hyperhomocysteinemia (CIMAH) [MIM:617780] An autosomal recessive disorder due to an inborn error of folate metabolism. Variable clinical manifestations include hemolytic uremic syndrome, macrocytosis, epilepsy, hearing loss, retinopathy, mild intellectual disability, and lymphopenia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The N-terminal methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase and methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase (D/C) domain carries both the methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase and methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase activities. The larger C-terminal formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase domain carries a third formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase activity.
Pathway. One-carbon metabolism; tetrahydrofolate interconversion.
Similarity. In the N-terminal section; belongs to the tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase family. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the formate–tetrahydrofolate ligase family.
