Curator or user-submitted Comments:

The riboflavin kinase is the N-terminal domain; the FAD synthase is the C-terminal domain. RibF is homologous to and can substitute for the essential B. subtilis RibC. ribF is a non-essential gene. Also known as protein X. Biochemical characterization described in Kitatsuji, K., S. Ishino, S. Teshiba, and M. Arimoto, 1993, Process for producing flavine nucleotides, European patent application: 0 542 240 A2.
