Catalyzes the ATP-dependent conversion of 5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) and HCO3- to N5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide (N5-CAIR).UniRule annotation1 Publication

Caution

Was originally thought to be the ATPase subunit of phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase, with catalytic subunit PurE.1 Publication

This protein is involved in step 1 of the subpathway that synthesizes 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxylate from 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole (N5-CAIR route).UniRule annotation1 Publication
Proteins known to be involved in the 2 steps of the subpathway in this organism are:
  1. N5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide synthase (purK)
  2. N5-carboxyaminoimidazole ribonucleotide mutase (purE)
This subpathway is part of the pathway IMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway, which is itself part of Purine metabolism.
