| Other name(s): |
mfnD (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
tyramine:L-glutamate γ-ligase (ADP-forming) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, which has been characterized from the archaea Methanocaldococcus fervens, participates in the biosynthesis of the cofactor methanofuran. Requires a divalent cation for activity, with Mn2+ giving the highest activity, followed by Mg2+, Co2+, Zn2+, and Fe2+. |
