Reaction: 2,5-diamino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribitylamino)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one + NAD(P)+ = 2,5-diamino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribosylamino)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one + NAD(P)H + H+

Other name(s): 2,5-diamino-6-ribosylamino-4(3H)-pyrimidinone 5'-phosphate reductase; MjaRED; MJ0671 (gene name)
Systematic name: 2,5-diamino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribosylamino)pyrimidin-4(3H)-one:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase
Comments: The reaction proceeds in the opposite direction. A step in riboflavin biosynthesis, NADPH and NADH function equally well as reductant. Differs from EC 1.1.1.193 [5-amino-6-(5-phosphoribosylamino)uracil reductase] since it does not catalyse the reduction of 5-amino-6-ribosylaminopyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione 5'-phosphate [1].
