Protein
5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil phosphatase YigB
Organism
Escherichia coli (strain K12)
Function
Catalyzes the dephosphorylation of 5-amino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)uracil, and thus could be involved in the riboflavin biosynthesis pathway (PubMed:24123841). Is also able to dephosphorylate flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and other phosphoric acid esters (PubMed:16990279) (PubMed:24123841). YigB is important for the formation of dormant persister cells (PubMed:18519731).
Similarity
Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily.
