Identification
Name:Phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase ATPase subunit
Synonyms:
  • AIR carboxylase
  • AIRC
Gene Name:purK
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase activity
Specific Function: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
