EC 2.4.2.21 Details
EC number
2.4.2.21
Accepted name
nicotinate-nucleotide—dimethylbenzimidazole phosphoribosyltransferase
Reaction
β-nicotinate D-ribonucleotide + 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole = nicotinate + α-ribazole 5′-phosphate
Other name(s)
nicotinate mononucleotide-dimethylbenzimidazole phosphoribosyltransferase, nicotinate ribonucleotide:benzimidazole (adenine) phosphoribosyltransferase, nicotinate-nucleotide:dimethylbenzimidazole phospho-D-ribosyltransferase, CobT, nicotinate mononucleotide (NaMN):5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole phosphoribosyltransferase
Systematic name
nicotinate-nucleotide:5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole phospho-D-ribosyltransferase
CAS registry number
37277-76-2
Comment
Also acts on benzimidazole, and the clostridial enzyme acts on adenine to form 7-α-D-ribosyladenine 5′-phosphate. The product of the reaction, α-ribazole 5′-phosphate, forms part of the corrin-biosynthesis pathway and is a substrate for EC 2.7.8.26, adenosylcobinamide-GDP ribazoletransferase [4]. It can also be dephosphorylated to form α-ribazole by the action of EC 3.1.3.73, α-ribazole phosphatase.
