Diaminohydroxyphosphoribosylaminopyrimidine deaminase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a diaminohydroxyphosphoribosylaminopyrimidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.26) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-4-(5-phosphoribosylamino)pyrimidine + H2O \rightleftharpoons 5-amino-6-(5-phosphoribosylamino)uracil + NH3

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 2,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-4-(5-phosphoribosylamino)pyrimidine and H2O, whereas its two products are 5-amino-6-(5-phosphoribosylamino)uracil and NH3.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,5-diamino-6-hydroxy-4-(5-phosphoribosylamino)pyrimidine 2-aminohydrolase. This enzyme participates in riboflavin metabolism.
