XANTHINE-GUANINE PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE
| Contents | 
Introduction
Xanthine-guanine Phosphoribosyltansferase (XGPRT) is one of three purine phosphoribosyltransferases (PRTases) that are part of the purine salvage pathway in Escherichia coli [1]; the other two PRTases in the pathway are HPRT and APRT[1].
Structure
PRTase structures fall into two groups, type I and Type II[1]. XGTPase has a conserved sequence, 85-IVIDDLVDTG-94, which is called the PRib-PP (5-phospho-a-D-ribosyl-1-pyrophosphate) binding site[1]. This binding site features two adjacent acidic residues, which are surrounded by hydrophobic residues[1]. There s five-stranded b-sheet surrounded by three or four a-helices that creates a conserved structural core containing the PRib-PP binding site[1]
Function
XGRT is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of guanine, xanthine, and sometimes hypoxanthine, to GMP, XMP, and IMP [1].
