rib4

Gene
RIB4
Protein
6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Length
169 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin.
Similarity
Belongs to the DMRL synthase family.
Mass
18.556 kDa

Protein
6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Length
159 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin. Also binds riboflavin with an unexpected high affinity.
