Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetrahydromonapterin
DescriptionTetrahydromonapterin is a member of the chemical class known as Biopterins and Derivatives. These are coenzymes containing a 2-amino-pteridine-4-one derivative. Tetrahydromonapterin is a major pterin in Escherichia coli and is hypothesized to be the cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase (PhhA) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but neither its biosynthetic origin nor its cofactor role has been clearly demonstrated. Collectively, these data establish that tetrahydromonapterin formation requires both FolX and FolM, that tetrahydromonapterin is the physiological cofactor for PhhA, and that tetrahydromonapterin can outrank folate as an end product of pterin biosynthesis.
