ATP phosphoribosyltransferase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, an ATP phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)-ATP + diphosphate $\rightleftharpoons$ ATP + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)-ATP and diphosphate, whereas its two products are ATP and 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)-ATP:diphosphate phospho-alpha-D-ribosyl-transferase. Other names in common use include phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphorylase, adenosine triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase, phosphoribosyladenosine triphosphate:pyrophosphate, phosphoribosyltransferase, phosphoribosyl ATP synthetase, phosphoribosyl ATP:pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase, phosphoribosyl-ATP:pyrophosphate-phosphoribosyl phosphotransferase, phosphoribosyladenosine triphosphate pyrophosphorylase, and phosphoribosyladenosine triphosphate synthetase. This enzyme participates in histidine metabolism.
