GTP cyclohydrolases are enzymes that catalyze imidazole ring opening of guanosine triphosphate (GTP).[1] This reaction is the committed step in the biosynthesis of multiple coenzymes (such as riboflavin and folate), tRNA bases, and the phytotoxin toxoflavin.[1] Several GTP cyclohydrolases exist, which sometimes synthesize different products for different pruposes:

  • GTP cyclohydrolase Ia,
  • GTP cyclohydrolase Ib, part of the tetrahydrobiopterin, tetrahydrofolate, queueosine and other biosynthetic pathways[1]
  • GTP cyclohydrolase II, part of the riboflavin and toxoflavin biosynthetic pathways[1]
  • GTP cyclohydrolase IIa[2] (or GTP cyclohydrolase III[3]), part of the riboflavin and deazaflavin cofactor biosynthetic pathways[1]
  • GTP cyclohydrolase IV
  • GTP cyclohydrolase MptA, GTP cyclohydrolase Ib paralog[1]
    • Guanosine triphosphate (GTP), the substrate of GTP cyclohydrolases

    These enzymes require divalent cations for catalysis.[1]
