PROSITE documentation PDOC00096 [for PROSITE entry PS00103] |
Phosphoribosyltransferases (PRT) are enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of β-n-5'-monophosphates from phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) and an enzyme specific amine. A number of PRT's are involved in the biosynthesis of purine, pyrimidine, and pyridine nucleotides, or in the salvage of purines and pyrimidines. These enzymes are:
In the sequence of all these enzymes there is a small conserved region which may be involved in the enzymatic activity and/or be part of the PRPP binding site [1].
Note:In position 11 of the pattern most of these enzymes have Gly.
