  2. Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphoribosyl_pyrophosphate

    In de novo generation of purines, the enzyme amidophosphoribosyltransferase acts upon PRPP to create phosphoribosylamine. [2] The histidine biosynthesis pathway involves the reaction between PRPP and ATP, which activates the latter to ring cleavage. Carbon atoms from ribose in PRPP form the linear chain and part of the imidazole ring in histidine.

    The product of this reaction, phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP), is used in numerous biosynthesis (de novo and salvage) pathways. PRPP provides the ribose sugar in de novo synthesis of purines and pyrimidines, used in the nucleotide bases that form RNA and DNA. PRPP reacts with orotate to form orotidylate, which can be converted to uridylate (UMP

    The formation of 5'-phosphoribosylamine from glutamine and PRPP catalysed by PRPP amino transferase is the regulation point for purine synthesis. The enzyme is an allosteric enzyme, so it can be converted from IMP, GMP and AMP in high concentration binds the enzyme to exerts inhibition while PRPP is in large amount binds to the enzyme which ...

  6. Ribose 5-phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribose_5-phosphate

    Formation of PRPP is essential for both the de novo synthesis of purines and for the purine salvage pathway. [8] The de novo synthesis pathway begins with the activation of R5P to PRPP, which is later catalyzed to become phosphoribosylamine, a nucleotide precursor. During the purine salvage pathway, [9] phosphoribosyltransferases add PRPP to ...

  8. Nucleoside triphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoside_triphosphate

    A nitrogenous base called orotate is synthesized independently of PRPP. [25] After orotate is made it is covalently attached to PRPP. This results in a nucleotide called orotate monophosphate (OMP). [26] OMP is converted to UMP, which can then be phosphorylated by ATP to UDP and UTP. UTP can then be converted to CTP by a deamination reaction. [27]

  9. Inosinic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inosinic_acid

    The inosinate synthesis is complex, beginning with a 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). Enzymes taking part in IMP synthesis constitute a multienzyme complex in the cell. Evidence demonstrates that there are multifunctional enzymes, and some of them catalyze non-sequential steps in the pathway. [citation needed]
