| Abstract |
Conserved amino acid residues of riboflavin synthase from Escherichia coli were modified by site-directed mutagenesis. Replacement or deletion of phenylalanine 2 afforded catalytically inactive proteins. S41A and H102Q mutants had substantially reduced reaction velocities. Replacements of various other conserved polar residues had little impact on catalytic activity. (19)F NMR protein perturbation experiments using a fluorinated intermediate analog suggest that the N-terminal sequence motif MFTG is part of one of the substrate-binding sites of the protein. |
