Gene Description

FMN1 (YDR236C) encodes the monofunctional riboflavin kinase (flavokinase, EC 2.7.1.26) of S. cerevisiae, which phosphorylates riboflavin with ATP to form FMN, the first step in conversion of riboflavin to flavin cofactors. Unlike bacterial bifunctional RibF enzymes, Fmn1 has no FAD synthetase activity; FAD is made from FMN by the unrelated Fad1. Deletion of FMN1 prevents growth on rich medium unless FMN is supplied. Fmn1 is a 25-kDa membrane-associated protein found mostly (~90%) in microsomal (ER) fractions and ~10% in mitochondria, where it is an integral inner-membrane protein with its C-terminal catalytic domain facing the matrix, providing intramitochondrial FMN.

ACCEPT
Summary: UniProt mapping of 'Endoplasmic reticulum', inferred (ECO:0000305) from the microsomal fraction in which ~90% of Fmn1 is found. Microsomes are largely ER-derived, so this is a reasonable reading; direct ER imaging is lacking.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Pathway-default cytosol from YeastPathways. Experimental fractionation places Fmn1 in microsomal and mitochondrial-inner-membrane fractions rather than the soluble cytosol; the catalytic domain of the microsomal form may face the cytosol, but this has not been shown.
Reason: Membrane-associated protein; soluble cytosolic location is not supported by fractionation data.

GO:0006771 riboflavin metabolic process

GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Riboflavin metabolic process: Fmn1 consumes riboflavin, so this is correct but more general than the FMN biosynthetic process it actually performs.
Reason: Accurate parent-level process; FMN biosynthetic process is the specific core BP.

ACCEPT
Summary: The cited paper (Kneissl et al. 2003) is a yeast two-hybrid study of murine pre-replicative complex proteins; its abstract contains nothing about flavokinase or yeast FMN1, so this PMID is very likely a mis-entered reference. The function itself is correct and independently established (PMID:10887197), but this specific evidence row cannot be verified.
Reason: The asserted activity is correct for FMN1 and is established independently by the purified recombinant enzyme (PMID:10887197), so the claim is accepted and the curator's row is not removed. The evidence link is doubtful, not the function. The row was assigned by MGI to a yeast protein and cites a murine pre-replicative-complex two-hybrid paper (full text not cached), so the reference is recorded as a suspected upstream defect for MGI to check.

REMOVE
Summary: InterPro2GO from the riboflavin kinase domain superfamily (IPR023465) maps to riboflavin biosynthesis. This is wrong for Fmn1: riboflavin kinase consumes riboflavin to make FMN and plays no part in de novo riboflavin synthesis (Rib1-Rib7 pathway). The InterPro2GO mapping is an over-reach for this domain.
