In enzymology, a phosphoribosylamine-glycine ligase (EC 6.3.4.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ATP + 5-phospho-D-ribosylamine + glycine
ADP + phosphate + N1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, 5-phospho-D-ribosylamine, and glycine, whereas its 3 products are ADP, phosphate, and N1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming generic carbon-nitrogen bonds. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
Bacterial genes that encode this enzyme are often named purD. The purD genes often contain PurD RNA motif in their 5' UTR.[1]
In bacteria, GARS is a monofunctional enzyme (encoded by the purD gene). In yeast, GARS is part of a bifunctional enzyme (encoded by the ADE5/7 gene) in conjunction with phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine cyclo-ligase (AIRS). In higher eukaryotes, GARS is part of a trifunctional enzyme in conjunction with AIRS and with phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase (GART), forming GARS-AIRS-GART.
