Abstract excerpt
RibR is a minor cryptic flavokinase (EC 2.7.1.26) of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis with an unknown cellular function. The flavokinase activity appears to be localized to the N-terminal domain of the protein. Using the yeast three-hybrid system, it was shown that RibR specifically interacts in vivo with the nontranslated wild-type leader of the mRNA of the riboflavin biosynthetic operon. This...
