step 4
Reversible
5,10-Methenyl-THF + H₂O ⇌ 10-formyl-THF
Converts 5,10-Methenyl-THF H2O into 10-Formyl-THF
› Notes
The cyclohydrolase activity of MTHFD1 (or mitochondrial MTHFD enzymes) converts the methenyl to the formyl oxidation state. This reversible hydration supplies 10-formyl-THF for purine biosynthesis.
