We are deeply saddened by the passing of Amos Bairoch (1957–2025), the creator of PROSITE. We wish to dedicate our latest paper, published shortly before his death, to him. He will always be a source of inspiration to us.
Our deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, and to all those who had the privilege of working with him. Rest in peace, Amos. Your work will live on long after you are gone.

Description
ATP phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.17) is the enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of histidine in bacteria, fungi and plants. It is a protein of about 23 to 32 Kd. As a signature pattern we selected a region located in the C-terminal part of this enzyme.
