Gene Name:ribE
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in riboflavin synthase activity
Specific Function:Riboflavin synthase is a bifunctional enzyme complex catalyzing the formation of riboflavin from 5-amino-6-(1'-D)- ribityl-amino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione and L-3,4-dihydrohy-2- butanone-4-phosphate via 6,7-dimethyl-8-lumazine. The alpha subunit catalyzes the dismutation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-lumazine to riboflavin and 5-amino-6-(1'-D)-ribityl-amino-2,4(1H,3H)- pyrimidinedione
