Other name(s): cfbE (gene name)

Systematic name: 15,173-seco-F430-173-acid cyclo-ligase (ADP-forming)

Comments: The enzyme, studied from the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans, catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of the nickel-containing tetrapyrrole cofactor coenzyme F430, which is required by EC 2.8.4.1, coenzyme-B sulfoethylthiotransferase.
