TypeCDS
FunctionInvolved in purine biosynthesis (sixth step). Possesses an ATPase activity that is dependent on the presence of air (aminoimidazole ribonucleotide). The association of PURK and pure produces an enzyme complex capable of converting air to CAIR efficiently under physiological condition [catalytic activity: 1-(5-phosphoribosyl)-5-amino-4-imidazole-carboxylate = 1-(5-phosphoribosyl)-5-aminoimidazole + CO(2)].
ProductProbable phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase ATPase subunit PurK (air carboxylase) (AIRC)
CommentsRv3276c, (MTCY71.16c), len: 429 aa. Probable purK, phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase ATPase subunit , equivalent to P46701|PURK_MYCLE|ML0735|B1308_F1_32 phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase ATPase subunit from Mycobacterium leprae (439 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 2168, E(): 2.3e-123, (76.15% identity in 444 aa overlap). Also similar to others e.g. Q44678|PURK_CORAM from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes (Brevibacterium ammoniagenes) (413 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1179, E(): 9.1e-64, (48.35% identity in 389 aa overlap); Q9KZ85|PURK from Streptomyces coelicolor (368 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 1150, E(): 4.7e-62, (55.35% identity in 345 aa overlap); Q54975|PURK_SYNP7 from Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 (Anacystis nidulans R2) (395 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 772, E(): 3e-39, (38.1% identity in 383 aa overlap); etc. Belongs to the PurK / PurT family.
Functional categoryIntermediary metabolism and respiration
ProteomicsIdentified in the cell membrane fraction of M. tuberculosis H37Rv using 2DLC/MS (See Mawuenyega et al., 2005). Identified by mass spectrometry in Triton X-114 extracts of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See Malen et al., 2010). Identified by mass spectrometry in the culture filtrate, membrane protein fraction, and whole cell lysates of M. tuberculosis H37Rv (See de Souza et al., 2011).
MutantEssential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv in a MtbYM rich medium, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (see Minato et al. 2019). Disruption of this gene results in growth defect of H37Rv in vitro, by analysis of saturated Himar1 transposon libraries (see DeJesus et al. 2017). Essential gene for in vitro growth of H37Rv, by Himar1 transposon mutagenesis (See Griffin et al., 2011).
