Common NameN5-Carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide
DescriptionN5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide is a member of the chemical class known as 1-Phosphoribosyl-imidazoles. These are organic compounds containing the imidazole ring linked to a ribose phosphate through a 1-2 bond. The carbamic acid, N5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide (N5-CAIR) is an intermediate in purine biosynthesis in E. coli. (PMID 7918411 ) Formation of 4-carboxy-5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (CAIR) in the purine pathway in most prokaryotes requires ATP, HCO3-, aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR), and the gene products PurK and PurE. PurK catalyzes the conversion of AIR to N5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide (N5-CAIR) in a reaction that requires both ATP and HCO3-. PurE catalyzes the unusual rearrangement of N5-CAIR to CAIR.
