Function

GMP synthase (GMPS) catalyzes the conversion of xantosine 5’-phosphate (XMP), ATP, glutamine and water to glutamate, GMP, AMP and diphosphate. GMPS is active in purine and glutamate metabolism[1]. GMPS is a bifunctional two-domain enzyme with the dominates extracts ammonia from glutamine and the adds amine group to XMP to produce GMP.

Structural highlights
