Crystal structures of Aspergillus oryzae Rib2 deaminase: the functional mechanism involved in riboflavin biosynthesis

Riboflavin serves as the direct precursor of the FAD/FMN coenzymes and is biosynthesized in most prokaryotes, fungi and plants. Fungal Rib2 possesses a deaminase domain for deamination of pyrimidine in the third step of riboflavin biosynthesis. Here, four high-resolution crystal structures of a Rib2...
