IPR015864

Description

IPR015864 is a FAD synthetase.

<p>Riboflavin is converted into catalytically active cofactors (FAD and FMN) by the actions of riboflavin kinase ([ec:2.7.1.26]), which converts it into FMN, and FAD synthetase ([ec:2.7.7.2]), which adenylates FMN to FAD. Eukaryotes usually have two separate enzymes, while most prokaryotes have a single bifunctional protein that can carry out both catalyses, although exceptions occur in both cases. While eukaryotic monofunctional riboflavin kinase is orthologous to the bifunctional prokaryotic enzyme [[cite:PUB00030175]], the monofunctional FAD synthetase differs from its prokaryotic counterpart, and is instead related to the PAPS-reductase family [[cite:PUB00035657]]. The bacterial FAD synthetase that is part of the bifunctional enzyme has remote similarity to nucleotidyl transferases and, hence, it may be involved in the adenylylation reaction of FAD synthetases [[cite:PUB00010127]].</p> <p>This entry represents prokaryotic-type FAD synthetase, which occurs primarily as part of a bifunctional enzyme.</p>
