ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.4.18

Accepted Name
5-(carboxyamino)imidazole ribonucleotide synthase
Alternative Name(s)
N(5)-CAIR synthetase
N(5)-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide synthetase
Reaction catalysed
5-amino-1-(5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)imidazole + ATP + hydrogencarbonate <=> 5-carboxyamino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole + ADP + 2 H(+) + phosphate
Comment(s)
  • In Escherichia coli, this enzyme, along with EC 5.4.99.18, is required to carry out the single reaction catalyzed by EC 4.1.1.21 in vertebrates.
  • Carboxyphosphate is the putative acyl phosphate intermediate.
  • Involved in the late stages of purine biosynthesis.
