Copyright policy )Biosynthesis of riboflavin. enzymatic formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by heavy riboflavin synthase from Bacillus subtilis
The beta subunits of heavy riboflavin synthase catalyze the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine from 5-amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione and a carbohydrate phosphate, Compound X. 5-Amino-6-ribitylamino-2,4(1H,3H)-pyrimidinedione 5'-phosphate is not a substrate for the enzyme, although it is an established intermediate in the biosynthesis of riboflavin. It follows that this pyrimidine phosphate must be dephosphorylated prior to the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine.
