The mechanism of theN5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate synthetase reaction was probed by determining the source of the oxygen atom introduced between the β- and γ-phosphates as ATP is converted to ADP and Pi. The reaction was performed using a mixture of [18O]- and[16O]N5-formyltetrahydrofolate in in the presence of [16O]H2O and using[16O]N5-formyltetrahydrofolate in the presence of a1:1 mixture of [18O]H2O and [16O]H2O.31P NMR spectroscopy was used to examine the products. It was found that18O from the formyl group was incorporated into Pi, and that18O was not incorporated from the solvent. The results are consistent with a mechanism involving phosphorylation of the formyl group at theN5-position, followed by displacement of the phosphate by the 10-nitrogen.
