drug target
-
the enzyme from Brucella abortus constitutes a suitable target for alternative antibacterial therapy, notably against strains resistant to conventional antibiotic treatments. A high-throughput screening for inhibitors of riboflavin synthase identifies antimicrobial compounds to treat brucellosis
metabolism
-
lumazine synthase forms specific inclusion complexes with riboflavin synthase when both proteins are co-expressed in a heterologous host. Encapsulation of specific enzymes in self-assembling protein cages is a hallmark of bacterial compartments that function as counterparts to eukaryotic organelles
physiological function
-
the product of the enzyme, riboflavin (also known as vitamin B2) is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, enzyme plays a key role in energy production, and is required for the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins

enzyme overexpression in transgenic tobacco leads to enhanced resistance to tobacco mosaic virus in correlation with enhanced expression of defence response genes
