5-carboxyamino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole carboxymutase
In eubacteria, fungi and plants, this enzyme, along with EC 6.3.4.18, 5-(carboxyamino)imidazole ribonucleotide synthase, is required to carry out the single reaction catalysed by EC 4.1.1.21, phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase, in vertebrates [6]. In the absence of EC 6.3.2.6, phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide synthase, the reaction is reversible [3]. The substrate is readily converted into 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole by non-enzymic decarboxylation [3].
