[Product of second-stage riboflavin biosynthesis in Pichia guilliermondii]. 1979

E M Logvinenko, and G M Shavlovskiĭ, and A E Zakal'skiĭ

Dialyzed extracts of the mutants of Pichia guilliermondii RG80 (rib3, his-) and RA39 (rib3, ade-) in which the third step of flavinogenesis was genetically blocked converted GTP into 2,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-4-ribitylaminopyrimidine phosphate and 2,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-4-ribitylaminopyrimidine in the presence of NADPH2. Apparently, 2,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-4-ribitylaminopyrimidine phosphate is a true precursor of riboflavin whereas 2,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-4-ribitylaminopyrimidine is formed upon its hydrolysis.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009154	Mutation	Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.	Mutations
D010843	Pichia	Yeast-like ascomycetous fungi of the family Saccharomycetaceae, order SACCHAROMYCETALES isolated from exuded tree sap.	Hansenula,Hansenulas,Pichias

D000631	Aminopyridines	Pyridines substituted in any position with an amino group. May be hydrogenated but must retain at least one double bond.	Aminopyridine
D001203	Ascomycota	A phylum of fungi which have cross-walls or septa in the mycelium. The perfect state is characterized by the formation of a saclike cell (ascus) containing ascospores. Most pathogenic fungi with a known perfect state belong to this phylum.	Ascomycetes,Cochliobolus,Sclerotinia,Ascomycete,Ascomycotas,Sclerotinias
D012256	Riboflavin	Nutritional factor found in milk, eggs, malted barley, liver, kidney, heart, and leafy vegetables. The richest natural source is yeast. It occurs in the free form only in the retina of the eye, in whey, and in urine; its principal forms in tissues and cells are as FLAVIN MONONUCLEOTIDE and FLAVIN-ADENINE DINUCLEOTIDE.

D012267	Ribosemonophosphates	Ribose substituted in the 1-, 3-, or 5-position by a phosphoric acid moiety.
