malfunction

metabolism
the enzyme is involved in the folate recycling pathway
additional information
-
the enzyme is located at the C-terminus of the bifunctional purine-biosynthesis protein, PurH, whose N-terminus possesses IMP cyclohydrolase activity. Coupling of the two domains is essential for the catalytic process, as the AICAR Tfase reaction favours the reverse direction by itself and the irreversible cyclization of 5-formyl-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide to IMP drives formyl transfer in the forward direction
