Comparative Genomics Guided Discovery of Two Missing Archaeal Enzyme Families Involved in the Biosynthesis of the Pterin Moiety of Tetrahydromethanopterin and Tetrahydrofolate

[Image: see text] C-1 carriers are essential cofactors in all domains of life, and in Archaea, these can be derivatives of tetrahydromethanopterin (H(4)-MPT) or tetrahydrofolate (H(4)-folate). Their synthesis requires 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin diphosphate (6-HMDP) as the precursor, but the n...
