FunctionRiboflavin synthase is a bifunctional enzyme complex involved in riboflavin synthesis. Riboflavin synthase catalyzes 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 beta subunit catalyzes the condensation of 5-amino-6-(1'-D)-ribityl- amino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione with L-3,4-dihydrohy-2-butanone- 4-phosphate yielding 6,7-dimethyl-8-lumazine.
ProductProbable riboflavin synthase beta chain RibH (6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase) (DMRL synthase) (lumazine synthase)
CommentsRv1416, (MTCY21B4.34), len: 160 aa. Probable ribH, riboflavin synthase beta chain, similar to many e.g. RISB_ECOLI|P25540 Escherichia coli (156 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 330, E(): 1.8e-15, (44.1% identity in 145 aa overlap). Note alternative GTG start possible overlapping the stop codon of Rv1415|MTCY21B4.33. Belongs to the DMRL synthase family. N-terminus extended since first submission (previously 154 aa).
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsIdentified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the membrane protein fraction and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv but not the culture filtrate (See de Souza et al., 2011). Translational start site supported by proteomics data (See de Souza et al., 2011).
OperonRv1416 and Rv1417 are co-transcribed, by RT-PCR (See Klepp et al., 2009).
MutantEssential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Essential gene by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis in H37Rv strain (see Sassetti et al., 2003).
