Abstract excerpt
In Salmonella enterica, 5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) is the precursor of the 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine (HMP) pyrophosphate moiety of thiamine and the last intermediate in the common HMP/purine biosynthetic pathway. AIR is synthesized de novo via five reactions catalyzed by the purF, -D, -T, -G, and -I gene products. In vivo genetic analysis demonstrated that in the absence of these gene...
