EC 1.17.5.3     
Accepted name: formate dehydrogenase-N
Reaction: formate + a quinone = CO2 + a quinol
Other name(s): Fdh-N; FdnGHI; nitrate-inducible formate dehydrogenase; formate dehydrogenase N; FDH-N; nitrate inducible Fdn; nitrate inducible formate dehydrogenase
Systematic name: formate:quinone oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme contains molybdopterin-guanine dinucleotides, five [4Fe-4S] clusters and two heme b groups. Formate dehydrogenase-N oxidizes formate in the periplasm, transferring electrons via the menaquinone pool in the cytoplasmic membrane to a dissimilatory nitrate reductase (EC 1.7.5.1), which transfers electrons to nitrate in the cytoplasm. The system generates proton motive force under anaerobic conditions [3].
