Biosynthesis of riboflavin. 6,7-Dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine 5'-phosphate is not a substrate for riboflavin synthase.

Abstract

Phosphotransferase from carrot is shown to catalyze the phosphorylation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine specifically at position 5' of the ribityl side chain. The lumazine 5'-phosphate is neither a substrate nor an inhibitor of riboflavin synthase from Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. It follows that the obligatory product of riboflavin synthase is riboflavin and not FMN.
