Amidophosphoribosyltransferase (ATase), also known as glutamine phosphoribosylpyrophosphate amidotransferase (GPAT), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPAT (phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase) gene.[1][2]

Function edit

ATase is an enzyme that converts α-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (α-PRPP) into 5-β-phosphoribosylamine. The enzyme uses the ammonia group from the glutamine side-chain. This is the committing step in de novo purine synthesis. It is allosterically inhibited by AMP, GMP, and IMP. 6TGMP (6-thioguanine monophosphate) is a pseudo inhibitor for ATase

ATase is a member of the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. This protein is a regulatory allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the first step of de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis.[1]
