| Description | 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase (lumazine synthase, LS), 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, the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin. The biosynthesis of one riboflavin molecule requires one molecule of GTP and two molecules of ribulose 5-phosphate as substrates. The final step in the biosynthesis of the vitamin involves the dismutation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine catalyzed by riboflavin synthase (RS). The second product, 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione, is recycled in the biosynthetic pathway by 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine synthase [ ]. N-[2,4-dioxo-6-d-ribitylamino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-yl]oxalamic acid derivatives inhibit riboflavin synthase [ ].This family includes both lumazine synthase and riboflavin synthase. Both share sequence similarity, they appear to have diverged early in the evolution of archaea from a common ancestor. |
