Abstrakt: Transformed mammalian cells express a unique bifunctional NAD-dependent methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase-methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase in addition to the usual NADP-dependent dehydrogenase-cyclohydrolase-synthetase. Subcellular fractionation of murine cell lines revealed that the NAD-dependent dehydrogenase activity is located predominantly in mitochondria, while the NADP-dependent trifunctional dehydrogenase appears to exist only in the cytosol of these cells. Western analysis using monospecific polyclonal antisera confirms the subcellular distribution of these two proteins.
