ATP:riboflavin 5'-phosphotransferase
The cofactors FMN and FAD participate in numerous processes in all organisms, including mitochondrial electron transport, photosynthesis, fatty-acid oxidation, and metabolism of vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folates [5]. While monofunctional riboflavin kinase is found in eukaryotes, some bacteria have a bifunctional enzyme that exhibits both this activity and that of EC 2.7.7.2, FMN adenylyltransferase [5]. A divalent metal cation is required for activity (with different species preferring Mg2+, Mn2+ or Zn2+). In Bacillus subtilis, ATP can be replaced by other phosphate donors but with decreasing enzyme activity in the order ATP > dATP > CTP > UTP [6].
the flavokinase activity appears to be localized to the N-terminal domain of the protein. RibR specifically interacts in vivo with the nontranslated wild-type leader of the mRNA of the riboflavin biosynthetic operon. In RibR itself, interaction was localized to the carboxy-terminate part of the protein

RibC from wild-type strain 1012 and RibC820 from riboflavin-overproducing mitant strain RB52.ribC wild-type gene product has both flavokinase and flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase activity
Regulation of riboflavin biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis is affected by the activity of the flavokinase/flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase encoded by ribC

The bifunctional flavokinase/flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase from Streptomyces davawensis produces inactive flavin cofactors and is not involved in resistance to the antibiotic roseoflavin
