A soluble form of human FAD synthase (isoform 2; hFADS2) was pro-duced and purified to homogeneity as a recombinant His-tagged protein. The enzyme binds 1 mole of the FAD product very tightly, although non-covalently. Complete release of FAD from the ‘as isolated’ protein requires extensive denaturation. | IFEBS Journal Human FAD synthase isoform 2 a component of the machinery that delivers FAD to apo-flavoproteins Enza M.

The enzyme binds 1 mole of the FAD product very tightly although non-covalently. Complete release of FAD from the as isolated protein requires extensive denaturation. A 75 25 mixture of apo holoprotein could be prepared by treatment with mild chaotropes allowing estimatation of the contribution made by bound FAD to the protein stability and evaluatation of whether structural rearrangements may be required for FAD release. Under turnover conditions the enzyme catalyzes FAD assembly from ATP and FMN and at a much lower rate the pyrophosphorolytic hydrolysis of FAD. Several mechanistic features of both reactions were investigated in .
