BLUB_RHIME Involved in the biosynthesis of cobalamin (vitamin B12). Catalyzes the oxidative fragmentation and contraction of the isoalloxazine heterocycle and the cleavage of the ribityl tail of FMN(2) to form 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB) and D-erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P). NAD(P)H is only required initially to reduce FMN and oxygen drives the oxidative fragmentation.[1][2]
