Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Dual enzymatic activity**: PAICS exhibits both phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase and phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide synthase activities, which are essential for the de novo synthesis of purines. 2. **Significant expression in various cell types**: PAICS is expressed in erythroid progenitor cells, neural progenitor cells, pro-T cells, placental villous trophoblasts, and other cell types, highlighting its widespread importance in nucleotide biosynthesis. 3. **Conservation across species**: The PAICS gene is conserved across mammals, suggesting its essential role in purine biosynthesis. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **De novo purine biosynthesis**: PAICS is a key enzyme in the de novo synthesis of purines, which involves the conversion of ribose-5-phosphate and ATP into inosine monophosphate (IMP). 2. **IMP synthesis**: PAICS catalyzes the formation of IMP from ribose-5-phosphate and ATP, which is a critical step in purine biosynthesis. 3. **Purine nucleotide synthesis**: PAICS contributes to the synthesis of purine nucleotides, such as AMP, GMP, and IMP, which are essential for nucleic acid synthesis and maintenance. 4. **Regulation of nucleotide metabolism**: PAICS is involved in the regulation of nucleotide metabolism, including the control of purine and pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Immunological disorders**: PAICS has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various immunological disorders, including autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. 2. **Cancer**: Altered PAICS expression has been observed in certain types of cancer, including leukemia and lymphoma, suggesting its potential role in tumorigenesis. 3. **Metabolic disorders**: PAICS has been linked to metabolic disorders, such as hyperuricemia, which is characterized by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood. 4. **Neurological disorders**: PAICS has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, PAICS plays a crucial role in the de novo synthesis of purines, which is essential for nucleotide biosynthesis and regulation of nucleotide metabolism. Its significance extends to various clinical disorders, including immunological, metabolic, and neurological diseases. Further research is necessary to fully elucidate the mechanisms underlying PAICS function and its clinical implications.
