EC 2.4.2.54 Details
EC number
2.4.2.54
Accepted name
β-ribofuranosylphenol 5′-phosphate synthase
Reaction
5-phospho-α-D-ribose 1-diphosphate + 4-hydroxybenzoate = 4-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)phenol 5′-phosphate + CO2 + diphosphate
Other name(s)
β-RFAP synthase (incorrect), β-RFA-P synthase (incorrect), AF2089 (gene name), MJ1427 (gene name), β-ribofuranosylhydroxybenzene 5′-phosphate synthase, 4-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)aminobenzene 5′-phosphate synthase (incorrect), β-ribofuranosylaminobenzene 5′-phosphate synthase (incorrect), 5-phospho-α-D-ribose 1-diphosphate:4-aminobenzoate 5-phospho-β-D-ribofuranosyltransferase (decarboxylating) (incorrect)
Systematic name
5-phospho-α-D-ribose-1-diphosphate:4-hydroxybenzoate 5-phospho-β-D-ribofuranosyltransferase (decarboxylating)
Comment
The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of tetrahydromethanopterin in archaea. It can utilize both 4-hydroxybenzoate and 4-aminobenzoate as substrates, but only the former is known to be produced by methanogenic archaea [4]. The activity is dependent on Mg2+ or Mn2+ [1].
