Name7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin (FO) biosynthesis
TypePATHWAY
Description7,8-didemethyl-8-hydroxy-5-deazariboflavin, or FO, is the chromophore of coenzyme F420. Several enzymatic steps convert FO to F420 (see GenProp0791). FO is also the chromophore of a cyanobacterial DNA photoreactivating enzyme. The two key enzymes of this pathway, encoded by CofG and CofH in Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, are encoded by fusion proteins in certain lineages. The fusion protein in Mycobacterium smegmatis is designated FbiC (F420 BIosynthesis C). The precursors are a pyrimidine intermediate from riboflavin biosynthesis and the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate precursor of tyrosine, so expressing FbiC in Escherichia coli is sufficient for FO biosynthesis.
