General annotation (Comments)

Function

Conversion of folates to polyglutamate derivatives.

Catalytic activity

ATP + tetrahydropteroyl-(gamma-Glu)(n) + L-glutamate = ADP + phosphate + tetrahydropteroyl-(gamma-Glu)(n+1).

ATP + 7,8-dihydropteroate + L-glutamate = ADP + phosphate + 7,8-dihydropteroylglutamate.

Pathway

Cofactor biosynthesis; tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis; 7,8-dihydrofolate from 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropteridine diphosphate and 4-aminobenzoate: step 2/2.

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the folylpolyglutamate synthase family.
