UbiX is a dodecameric enzyme, and each monomer possesses a typical Rossmann-fold structure. The FMN-binding domain of UbiX is composed of three neighboring subunits. The highly conserved Gly15, Ser41, Val47, and Tyr171 residues play important roles in FMN binding. The FMN-bound wild type form and the FMN-free form show a significant conformational difference in the C-terminal loop region (comprising residues 170-176 and 195-206) 749310 4.1.1.98 structures of holoUbiD reveal a relatively open active site potentially occluded from solvent through domain motion 748226
