EC 2.5.1.77 Details
EC number
2.5.1.77
Accepted name
7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin synthase
Reaction
5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil + 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + H2O = 7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin + 2 L-methionine + 2 5′-deoxyadenosine + oxalate + NH3
Other name(s)
FO synthase
Systematic name
5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil:4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, 4-methylphenol transferase
Comment
Binds a [4Fe-4S] cluster. The cluster is coordinated by 3 cysteines and an exchangeable AdoMet molecule. The first stage of catalysis is reduction of the 2 AdoMet to produce 2 methionine and 2 5′-deoxyadenosin-5-yl radicals that extract a hydrogen from each of the substrates permitting the condensation of the two [1]. The overall reaction catalysed is the transfer of the hydroxybenzyl group from 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) to 5-amino-6-ribitylaminopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione to form 7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin (FO). 7,8-Didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin is the chromophore of the hydride carrier coenzyme F420 [1].
