saturation with free Mg2+ results in hyperbolic activation by phosphate. At unsaturating free Mg2+ concentration, cooperative activation by phosphate is observed
the enzyme belongs to the phosphoribosyl diphosphate synthetase family, enzymes of this family are widespread in different eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms and are involved in a number of important biochemical processes associated with purine and pyrimidine metabolism
the enzyme produces 5-phosphoribosyl diphosphate which is an essential metabolite and an allosteric regulator in the de novo and salvage pathways of the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, pyrimidine-containing enzyme cofactors, and the amino acids histidine and tryptophan. Due to the key role of the enzyme in cell metabolism, the activity of these enzymes is tightly regulated by an excess of the substrate via feedback inhibition, as well as by allosteric interactions through the binding of ADP or GDP molecules in a special site between the subunits of the enzyme

structure to 2.71 A resolution, of single crystals grown under microgravity. The monomers are assembled into a hexamer with 32 point symmetry. The N-terminal regions of the subunits are located near the threefold axis and form a propeller-like structure in which each subunit interacts with two adjacent subunits in different manner
to 2.2 A resolution. The protein has two type I phosphoribosyltransferase folds, related by 2fold pseudosymmetry. The propeller-shaped homohexameric structure is composed of a trimer of dimers, with the C-terminal domains forming the dimeric blades of the propeller and the N-terminal domains forming the hexameric core. Several residues from a flexible loop occupy the site where the allosteric modulator, adenosine diphosphate, is predicted to bind
