MetaCyc Pathway: 5-hydroxybenzimidazole biosynthesis (anaerobic) in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942

5-amino-1-(5-phospho-β-D-ribosyl)imidazole + a reduced two electron carrier + S-adenosyl-L-methionine→5-hydroxybenzimidazole + ammonium + an oxidized electron carrier + 5'-deoxyadenosine + formate + L-methionine + 2 H+ + phosphate (EC 4.1.99.23)

Candidate genes for each reaction are identified from best hits to MetaCyc; by matching EC numbers (which are assigned by TIGRFam, SEED, or best hits to KEGG); or by matching SEED roles to KEGG reactions to MetaCyc reactions. See the "Protein" tab of each gene for more information
