	Dihydrofolate reductase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ribbon diagram of human dihydrofolate reductase in complex with folate (blue).
		Dihydrofolate reductase, or DHFR, reduces dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid, using NADPH as electron donor, which can be converted to the kinds of tetrahydrofolate cofactors used in 1-carbon transfer chemistry.
		A variety of drugs act on dihydrofolate reductase, including the antibiotic trimethoprim, the antimalarial drug pyrimethamine, and the chemotherapeutic agents methotrexate and pemetrexed.

	Pneumocystis carinii dihydrofolate reductase used to screen potential antipneumocystis drugs.
		Pneumocystis carinii was obtained in high yield from the lungs of immunosuppressed rats by rupturing mammalian host cells, washing away the soluble mammalian dihydrofolate reductase, and harvesting intact organisms in association with the mammalian plasma membranes.
		carinii dihydrofolate reductase differed from the mammalian enzyme in that the former was slightly inhibited by 150 mM KCl, whereas the latter was stimulated over twofold by 150 mM KCl.
		These standard compounds were also tested against dihydrofolate reductase from rat liver to allow an assessment of the selectivity of the drugs.

		Temperature-induced unfolding of Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase was carried out by using molecular dynamic simulations.
		This region, which is made up of part of the N-terminus domain and part of the large domain of the E. coli dihydrofolate reductase, may constitute the nucleation site for protein folding and may be important for the eventual formation of both domains.
		Finally, the results of the simulation were found to be consistent with a previous experimental study (Frieden, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 1990;87:4413-4416) which showed that the folding process of E. coli dihydrofolate reductase involves sequential formation of the substrate-binding sites.

		Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate synthase (TS) are crucial enzymes in DNA synthesis.
		DHFR catalyses the production of tetrahydrofolate from dihydrofolate; TS is in charge of transferring a methyl-group from N5, N10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate to dUMP thereby generating dTMP and tetrahydrofolate.
		The enzymes dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and thymidylate reductase (TS) play a crucial for pyrimidine synthesis, therefore both enzymes have been used as auxotrophic marker-systems in various species by targeted gene disruption.

		Folic acid is a growth factor that provides single carbons to the precursors used to form the nucleotides used in the synthesis of DNA and RNA.
		Folate antagonists, also known as antifolates, act by blocking the active site of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an enzyme that reduces folic acid to its active form.
		The inhibition of the dihydrofolate reductase keeps the folic acid in an inactive state.

		The relationships between dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) levels or methotrexate membrane transport and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) immunophenotype were evaluated on 51 T-cell and 44 B-precursor ALL specimens from 90 pediatric ALL patients at diagnosis and relapse, using a fluorescent methotrexate analog (PT430) and flow cytometry assay (Matherly et al, Blood 85:500, 1995).

		Kinetics studies suggest that this is probably true for the housefly reductase as well.
		These redox differences between forms of this enzyme from different species may ultimately be resolved as evolutionary adaptations to different intracellular environments and functions; the protein factors that dictate the different redox potentials of these enzymes have yet to be explored.
		Electrostatic interactions play a lesser role with this complex, in part because P450 BM3 and reductase are physically linked on the same polypeptide, rather than separate proteins as in most other systems.
