Description
This archaeal enzyme, characterized from the methanogen Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, catalyses a step in the synthesis of purine nucleotides. It differs from the orthologous bacterial/eukaryotic enzymes, which utilize 10-formyltetrahydrofolate rather than formate and ATP. cf. EC 2.1.2.3, phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
5-formaminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide synthetase; 5-formaminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl 5'-monophosphate synthetase; purP (gene name)
Reaction
ATP + formate + 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide = ADP + phosphate + 5-formamido-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide
