| 5-(carboxyamino)imidazole ribonucleotide mutase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| N(5)-CAIR mutase. |
| N(5)-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide mutase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 5-carboxyamino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole <=> 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxylate |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- In eubacteria, fungi and plants, this enzyme, along with EC 6.3.4.18,
is required to carry out the single reaction catalyzed by EC 4.1.1.21
in vertebrates.
- In the absence of EC 6.3.2.6, the reaction is reversible.
- The substrate is readily converted into 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-
ribosyl)imidazole by non-enzymic decarboxylation.
