EC 2.4.2.55     
Accepted name: nicotinate D-ribonucleotide:phenol phospho-D-ribosyltransferase
Reaction: nicotinate D-ribonucleotide + phenol = nicotinate + phenyl 5-phospho-α-D-ribofuranoside
Other name(s): ArsAB
Systematic name: nicotinate D-ribonucleotide:phenol phospho-D-ribosyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of phenolic cobamides in the Gram-positive bacterium Sporomusa ovata. It can also transfer the phospho-D-ribosyl group to 4-methylphenol and 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole. The related EC 2.4.2.21, nicotinate-nucleotide dimethylbenzimidazole phosphoribosyltransferase, also transfers the phospho-D-ribosyl group from nicotinate D-ribonucleotide to 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole, but shows no activity with 4-methylphenol or phenol.
