Crystallization of the NAD-dependent 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Saccharomyces cerevisiae possesses three isozymes of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (MTD). The NAD-dependent enzyme is the first monofunctional form found in eukaryotes. Here we report its crystallization in a form suitable for high-resolution structure. The space group is P4₂2₁2 with cell constants a = b = 75.9, c = 160.0 Å, and there is one 36 kDa molecule in the asymmetric unit. Crystals diffract to 2.9 Å resolution.
