Comments In METJA, lacks the active site His and substrate binding sites expected to be involved in fae activity. Monofunctional fae enzyme exists in methylotrophic bacteria, where it is involved in energy metabolism and formaldehyde detoxification. Monofunctional HPS enzyme exists in bacteria, but functions in the opposite direction (condensation of ribulose 5-phosphate with formaldehyde), and is involved in C1 assimilation and/or formaldehyde detoxification. METBF possesses the bifunctional fae/hps enzyme, and also the two monofunctional enzymes fae and hps. FT lines are propagated from Methylobacterium extorquens fae enzyme, whose X-ray structure is known.
