Protein
FMN reductase (NADH) RutF
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Catalyzes the reduction of FMN to FMNH2 which is used to reduce pyrimidine by RutA via the Rut pathway. In vitro, the flavin reductase Fre can substitute for the function of RutF, however, RutF is required for uracil utilization in vivo.
Similarity
Belongs to the non-flavoprotein flavin reductase family. RutF subfamily.
