ID   2.4.2.55
DE   nicotinate D-ribonucleotide:phenol phospho-D-ribosyltransferase.
CA   nicotinate beta-D-ribonucleotide + phenol = H(+) + nicotinate + phenyl
CA   5-phospho-alpha-D-ribofuranoside.
CC   -!- The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of phenolic cobamides in
CC       the Gram-positive bacterium Sporomusa ovata.
CC   -!- It can also transfer the phospho-D-ribosyl group to 4-methylphenol
CC       and 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole.
CC   -!- The related EC 2.4.2.21 also transfers the phospho-D-ribosyl group
CC       from nicotinate D-ribonucleotide to 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole,
CC       but shows no activity with 4-methylphenol or phenol.
