CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF E. COLI PURE, AN UNUSUAL MUTASE THAT CATALYZES THE CONVERSION OF N5-CARBOXYAMINOIMIDAZOLE RIBONUCLEOTIDE (N5-CAIR) TO 4-CARBOXYAMINOIMIDAZOLE RIBONUCLEOTIDE (CAIR) IN THE PURINE BIOSYNTHETIC PATHWAY
Members of this family catalyse the decarboxylation of 1-(5-phosphoribosyl)-5-amino-4-imidazole-carboxylate (AIR). This family catalyse the sixth step of de novo purine biosynthesis. Some members of this family contain two copies of this domain.
