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
FUNCTION
XGRT is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of guanine, xanthine, and sometimes hypoxanthine, to GMP, XMP, and IMP [1].
=MECHANISM=
RECOGNITION
CATALYSIS
Magnesium and other divalent cations are necessary for catalysis[1].
