Abstract excerpt
We report here the isolation of a human cDNA encoding the first step in de novo purine biosynthesis, amidophosphoribosyltransferase (PRAT). The human PRAT cDNA was isolated by complementation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae ade4 mutant deficient in PRAT enzymatic activity. The identity of the isolated cDNA, designated pAdeA-3, was confirmed by several independent methods. Genomic DNA sequences homologous to pAdeA-3...
