    2.5.1.9 | 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 |

| 2.5.1.9 | 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 |

| 2.5.1.9 | physiological function |
enzyme overexpression in transgenic tobacco leads to enhanced resistance to tobacco mosaic virus in correlation with enhanced expression of defence response genes |
737968 |
| 2.5.1.9 | 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 |
