ASL caalyzes two reactions: the cleavage of adenylsuccinate to AMP and fumarate and the cleavage of phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide (SAICAR) into 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide (AICAR) and fumarate. Disease Mutations in ASL cause autosomal recessive disorder which manifests itself by encephalopathy with epilepsy and marked psychomotor retardation[2]. Structural highlights The ASL can be divided into 3 domains. The is situated between the 3 domains and contains the product AMP and and oxalate[3]. .
