2016年12月28日 · Phosphoribosyl diphosphate (PRPP) is an important intermediate in cellular metabolism. PRPP is synthesized by PRPP synthase, as follows: ribose 5-phosphate + ATP → PRPP + AMP. PRPP is ubiquitously found in living organisms and is used in substitution reactions with the formation of glycosidic bonds. …

Here we propose the metabolite ribose 5'-phosphate as the key link between nucleotide and amino acid metabolisms and a working model integrating both the transcriptional and metabolic effects of (p)ppGpp on E. coli physiological adaptation during the stringent response.

2007年1月1日 · PRPP (phosphoribosylpyrophosphate) is an important metabolite essential for nucleotide synthesis and PRS (PRPP synthetase) catalyses synthesis of PRPP from R5P (ribose 5-phosphate) and ATP. The enzymatic activity of PRS is regulated by phosphate ions, divalent metal cations and ADP.

1995年11月1日 · 5-Phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) is an important regulator of de novo purine synthesis. However, the role of ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), the precursor for PRPP, in the regulation of PRPP and de novo purine synthesis has not yet been clarified conclusively.

In this reaction, the pyrophosphate group of ATP is transferred to ribose 5-phosphate; the product PRPP is a high-energy compound. PRPP synthetase has an absolute requirement for inorganic phosphate (P i ), which functions as an allosteric activator.

This study was designed to clarify interrelationships between R5P content, PRPP availability, and the rate of de novo purine synthesis in the cultured human hepatoma cell line (HepG2), a plausible model for normal human hepatocytes.

2021年10月5日 · Deoxyribonucleotide synthesis is initiated by the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), where glycolytic intermediates glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate shunt for producing ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) instead of pyruvate.

Ribose-phosphate diphosphokinases or PRPP synthetases (EC 2.7.6.1, also called ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinases) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of PRPP from ATP and ribose-5-phosphate (R5P), yielding AMP as an additional product.

Phosphoribosyl diphosphate (PRPP) is an important intermediate in cellular metabolism. PRPP is synthesized by PRPP synthase, as follows: ribose 5-phosphate + ATP → PRPP + AMP. PRPP is ubiquitously found in living organisms and is used in substitution reactions with the formation of glycosidic bonds.

The role of the availability of ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) in the regulation of PRPP synthesis and therefore also of nucleotide synthesis, has been the subject of much debate [1–10]. R5P is produced mainly by the hexose-monophosphate-pentose pathway (HMPP)....
