Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** PPAT is a cytosolic enzyme that exhibits Amidophosphoribosyltransferase activity, which involves the transfer of an amidino group from glutamine to phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP). This reaction is a critical step in the de novo biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides. PPAT is also bound to four iron and four sulfur clusters, which are essential for its enzymatic activity. The enzyme is significantly expressed in various cell types, including germ cells, gut endothelial cells, and neural progenitor cells, suggesting its widespread involvement in cellular processes. **Pathways and Functions:** PPAT is integral to several metabolic pathways, including: 1. **De novo purine biosynthesis:** PPAT catalyzes the transfer of an amidino group from glutamine to PRPP, generating carbamoyl phosphate and glutamine. This reaction is a crucial step in the de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides. 2. **De novo pyrimidine biosynthesis:** Although less well-characterized, PPAT may also participate in the de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. 3. **Glutamine metabolic process:** PPAT is involved in the regulation of glutamine metabolism, which is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. 4. **Metal ion binding:** The four iron and four sulfur clusters bound to PPAT are involved in metal ion binding, which is critical for the enzyme's enzymatic activity. **Clinical Significance:** The dysregulation of PPAT has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer:** Altered expression of PPAT has been observed in certain types of cancer, suggesting its potential role in tumorigenesis. 2. **Neurological disorders:** PPAT has been linked to neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, where its dysregulation may contribute to disease pathology. 3. **Immunological disorders:** PPAT may play a role in immunological disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, where its dysregulation can lead to immune system dysfunction. In conclusion, PPAT is a complex enzyme that plays a crucial role in nucleotide biosynthesis, metabolism, and metal ion binding. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the need for further research into its mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications. As an expert immunologist, it is essential to continue exploring the intricacies of PPAT to unravel its full potential in the field of immunology.
