Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin.
Catalytic activity RHEA:26152: (2S)-2-hydroxy-3-oxobutyl phosphate + 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil = 6,7-dimethyl-8-(1-D-ribityl)lumazine + H(+) + 2 H2O + phosphate
EC 2.5.1.78
Pathway Cofactor biosynthesis; riboflavin biosynthesis; riboflavin from 2-hydroxy-3-oxobutyl phosphate and 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil: step 1/2.
case <OC:Aquificae> or <OC:Bacillales> or <OC:Gammaproteobacteria> or <OC:Methanococci>
Subunit Forms an icosahedral capsid composed of 60 subunits, arranged as a dodecamer of pentamers.
else case <OC:Mycobacterium>
Subunit Homopentamer.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the DMRL synthase family.
