RIB1, GTP cyclohydrolase II from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

RIB1 encodes for GTP cyclohydrolase II in S. cerevisiae. This enzyme catalyzes the first step of the riboflavin biosynthesis pathway, transforming GTP to 2,5-diamino-6-(5-phospho-D-ribosylamino)-pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (DARPP) (Gudipati et al., 2014).

Usage and Biology

RIB1 is a riboflavin synthase. Overexpression of RIB1 could lead to the overproduction of vitamin B2 in S. cerevisiae.
