EC Tree
IUBMB Comments
Two enzymes are known to catalyse the third step in de novo purine biosynthesis. This enzyme requires ATP and utilizes formate, which is provided by the hydrolysis of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate by EC 3.5.1.10, formyltetrahydrofolate deformylase. The other enzyme, EC 2.1.2.2, phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase 1, utilizes 10-formyltetrahydrofolate directly. Formyl phosphate is formed during catalysis as an intermediate. The enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli can also catalyse the activity of EC 2.7.2.1, acetate kinase.
