SAICAR synthetase: Difference between revisions

Function

SAICAR synthetase (SAI) or phosphoribosylaminoimidazole-succinocarboxamide synthetase is part of the purine biosynthesis. SAI catalyzes ATP-dependent ligation of carboxyaminoimidazole ribotide (AICAR) with aspartate^[1].

Structural highlights

SAI structure shows two domains. The active site is located in a hydrophilic tunnel between the 2 domains and contains ADP, aspartic acid and aminoimidazole-ribonucleotide (AIR)^[2].
