The folate-binding protein of rat liver mitochondria was purified to homogeneity by a combination of gel filtration, DEAE-cellulose and affinity chromatography. This protein was assayed by its ability to bind tetrahydro[3H]folic acid in vitro. The purified protein contains tightly bound flavin and has a MW of about 90,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis. This protein displays dimethylglycine dehydrogenase, [EC 1.5.99.2] activity which copurifies with the folate-binding activity. The role of the tetrahydrofolic acid may be to accept the formaldehyde produced during the course of the reaction.
