Abstract excerpt
Imidazole glycerol phosphate (IGP) synthase, a triad glutamine amidotransferase, catalyzes the fifth step in the histidine biosynthetic pathway, where ammonia from glutamine is incorporated into N1-[(5'-phosphoribulosyl)-formimino]-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (PRFAR) to yield IGP and 5'-(5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide) ribonucleotide (AICAR). The triad family of glutamine amidotransferases is...
