ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.2.54

Accepted Name
Beta-ribofuranosylphenol 5'-phosphate synthase.
Alternative Name(s)
4-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)aminobenzene 5'-phosphate synthase.
Beta-RFA-P synthase.
Beta-RFAP synthase.
Beta-ribofuranosylaminobenzene 5'-phosphate synthase.
Reaction catalysed
5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate + 4-hydroxybenzoate <=> 4-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)phenol 5'-phosphate + CO(2) + diphosphate
Cofactor(s)
Mn(2+) or Mg(2+).
Comment(s)
  • 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.
