Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Catalyzes the formation of 6,7-dimethyl-8-ribityllumazine by condensation of 5-amino-6-(D-ribitylamino)uracil with 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone 4-phosphate. This is the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of riboflavin. Displays low catalytic activity in comparison with the isozyme RibH1. Is a highly immunogenic protein. Activates dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro, increasing the levels of costimulatory molecules and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, and recruits DCs, B cells and CD8+ T cells in vivo, both effects in a TLR4-dependent manner. Induces the cross presentation of covalently attached peptides and generates a strong and long-lasting humoral immune response without adjuvants; TLR4 signaling is necessary for the induction of the cytotoxic response but not for antigen cross presentation. Elicits a TLR4-mediated protective response against B16 melanoma in mice, slowing tumor growth and prolonging mice survival.
