Protein attributes

Sequence length	301 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the reversible oxidation of CO(2) and methanofuran (MFR) to N-formylmethanofuran (CHO-MFR). Can use N-furfurylformamide, formamide, N-methylformamide, and formate as substrates. This enzyme is oxygen-labile.
Catalytic activity	Formylmethanofuran + H(2)O + acceptor = CO(2) + methanofuran + reduced acceptor.
Cofactor	Molybdenum.
Enzyme regulation	Inactivated by cyanide.
Pathway	One-carbon metabolism; methanogenesis from carbone dioxide; 5,10-methenyl-H(4)MPT from CO(2): step 1/3.
Subunit structure	This enzyme is composed of six subunits; fmdA (65 kDa), fmdB (50 kDa), fmdC (34 kDa), fmdD (17 kDa), fmdE (23 kDa) and fmdF (37 kDa).
Induction	By growth on molybdenum, under anaerobic conditions.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the fwdC/fmdC family.
