EC 2.7.7.2 Details
EC number
2.7.7.2
Accepted name
FAD synthase
Reaction
ATP + FMN = diphosphate + FAD
Other name(s)
FAD pyrophosphorylase, riboflavin mononucleotide adenylyltransferase, adenosine triphosphate-riboflavin mononucleotide transadenylase, adenosine triphosphate-riboflavine mononucleotide transadenylase, riboflavin adenine dinucleotide pyrophosphorylase, riboflavine adenine dinucleotide adenylyltransferase, flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase, FADS, FMN adenylyltransferase, FAD synthetase (misleading)
Systematic name
ATP:FMN adenylyltransferase
CAS registry number
9026-37-3
Comment
Requires Mg2+ and is highly specific for ATP as phosphate donor [5]. The cofactors FMN and FAD participate in numerous processes in all organisms, including mitochondrial electron transport, photosynthesis, fatty-acid oxidation, and metabolism of vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folates [3]. While monofunctional FAD synthetase is found in eukaryotes and in some prokaryotes, most prokaryotes have a bifunctional enzyme that exhibits both this activity and that of EC 2.7.1.26, riboflavin kinase [3,5].
