MIMI_R617

Gene
MIMI_R617
Protein
N-glycosidase R617
Organism
Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus
Length
170 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond in the first two intermediates of riboflavin biosynthesis, which are highly reactive metabolites, yielding relatively innocuous products. Thus, can divert a surplus of harmful intermediates into relatively harmless products and pre-empt the damage these intermediates would otherwise do. May act on other substrates in vivo.
Similarity
Belongs to the YbiA family.
