General annotation (Comments)

Function	AMP deaminase plays a critical role in energy metabolism. Ref.4
Catalytic activity	AMP + H2O = IMP + NH3.
Cofactor	Zinc Potential.
Enzyme regulation	Activated by ATP, inhibited by GTP, EDTA and inorganic phosphate.
Pathway	Purine metabolism; IMP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; IMP from AMP: step 1/1.
Subunit structure	Homodimer. Ref.3
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm Probable.
Developmental stage	Expressed during normal growth and slightly more for the first 4 hours of development. Enzymatic activity increases for the first 5 hours of development and then tapers off. Ref.3 Ref.2
Disruption phenotype	Cells grow normally until development occurs. Then they make a significantly increased proportion of prestalk cells, and develop fruiting bodies with short thick stalks and glassy sori with less than 5% normal spores. They have an increased content of pstA-type prestalk cells. Intracellular levels of inosine increase dramatically during development. This is cell autonomous, as the presence of equal numbers of wild-type cells does not alter the cell type proportion nor improve sporulation. Overexpression of the gene has no apparent effect on development (Ref.2). Mutants lacking amdA form aspidocytes (a cell type able to resist detergent lysis and which are also resistant to some antibiotics) more readily than wild-type cells; their induction may involve AMP or other purine metabolites (Ref.4). Ref.2
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the adenosine and AMP deaminases family.
Biophysicochemical properties	Kinetic parameters: KM=1.6 mM for AMP Vmax=1.0 mmol/min/mg enzyme
