CommentTwo paralogous genes of E. coli, folB (dihydroneopterin aldolase) and folX (d-erythro-7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate epimerase) are homologous to each other and homo-octameric. In Pneumocystis carinii, a multifunctional enzyme of folate synthesis has an N-terminal region active as dihydroneopterin aldolase. This region consists of two tandem sequences each homologous to folB and forms tetramers.
