High impact information on FDH

Phosphorylation of formate dehydrogenase in potato tuber mitochondria [1].
For the first time soluble mitochondrial protein complexes, like the HSP60 complex (750 kDa) and a complex of 200 kDa, which includes a formate dehydrogenase, are analysed by BN-PAGE [2].
These five cDNAs were predicted to encode a cyanide hydratase, arsenic ATPase, formate dehydrogenase, major Alternaria allergen, and one unknown [3].
Firstly, transgenic plants overexpressing formate dehydrogenase (FDH, EC 1.2.1.2) were used to continue our previous studies on the function of FDH in formate metabolism [4].
Formate dehydrogenase gene of Arabidopsis thaliana is induced by formaldehyde and not by formic acid [5].

Associations of FDH with chemical compounds

We concluded that FDH has no direct role in the regulation of the above two pathways of Ser synthesis; the breakdown of formate to CO(2) by the FDH reaction is the primary and preferred fate of the organic acid in Arabidopsis [4].
