EC 1.13.11.79 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.13.11.79

Accepted name

aerobic 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole synthase

Reaction

FMNH₂ + O₂ = 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole + D-erythrose 4-phosphate + other product(s)

Other name(s)

BluB, flavin destructase

Systematic name

FMNH₂ oxidoreductase (5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole-forming)

Comment

The enzyme catalyses a complex oxygen-dependent conversion of reduced flavin mononucleotide to form 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole, the lower ligand of vitamin B₁₂. This conversion involves many sequential steps in two distinct stages, and an alloxan intermediate that acts as a proton donor, a proton acceptor, and a hydride acceptor [4]. The C-2 of 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole is derived from C-1′ of the ribityl group of FMNH₂ and 2-H from the ribityl 1′-pro-S hydrogen. While D-erythrose 4-phosphate has been shown to be one of the byproducts, the nature of the other product(s) has not been verified yet.

History
