We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

6,7-Dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine is the biosynthetic precursor of riboflavin, which, as a coenzyme, plays a vital role in the electron transfer process for energy production in all cellular organisms. The enzymes involved in lumazine biosynthesis have been studied in considerable detail. However, the conclusive mechanism of the reaction catalyzed by lumazine synthase has remained unclear. Here, we report four crystal structures of the enzyme from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus in complex with different inhibitor compounds. The structures were refined at resolutions of 1.72 A, 1.85 A, 2.05 A and 2.2 A, respectively. The inhibitors have been designed in order to mimic the substrate, the putative reaction intermediates and the final product. Structural comparisons of the native enzyme and the inhibitor complexes as well as the kinetic data of single-site mutants of lumazine synthase from Bacillus subtilis showed that several highly conserved residues at the active site, namely Phe22, His88, Arg127, Lys135 and Glu138 are most likely involved in catalysis. A structural model of the catalytic process, which illustrates binding of substrates, enantiomer specificity, proton abstraction/donation, inorganic phosphate elimination, formation of the Schiff base and cyclization is proposed.
