IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 4.6.1.15

Accepted name: FAD-AMP lyase (cyclizing)

Reaction: FAD = AMP + riboflavin cyclic-4',5'-phosphate

Other name(s): FMN cyclase; FAD AMP-lyase (cyclic-FMN-forming)

Systematic name: FAD AMP-lyase (riboflavin-cyclic-4',5'-phosphate-forming)

Comments: Requires Mn2+ or Co2+. While FAD was the best substrate tested [2], the enzyme also splits ribonucleoside diphosphate-X compounds in which X is an acyclic or cyclic monosaccharide or derivative bearing an X-OH group that is able to attack internally the proximal phosphorus with the geometry necessary to form a P=X product; either a five-atom monocyclic phosphodiester or a cis-bicyclic phosphodiester-pyranose fusion. The reaction is strongly inhibited by ADP or ATP but is unaffected by the presence of the product, cFMN.
