Flavin prenyltransferase EC 2.5.1.129 UbiX, that catalyzes the synthesis of the prenylated FMN cofactor (prenyl-FMN)[1] for 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoic acid decarboxylase UbiD. The prenyltransferase is metal-independent and links a dimethylallyl moiety from dimethylallyl monophosphate (DMAP) to the flavin N5 and C6 atoms of FMN.

Catalytic activity:

Dimethylallyl phosphate + FMNH2 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] prenylated FMNH2 + phosphate.
