Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a monofunctional riboflavin synthase that catalyzes the formation of riboflavin from 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine. We have isolated the gene encoding this enzyme from a yeast genomic library by functional complementation of a mutant, rib5-10, lacking riboflavin synthase activity. Deletion of the chromosomal copy of RIB5 led to riboflavin auxotrophy and loss of enzyme activity....
