Glossary: PRPP = 5-phospho-α-D-ribose 1-diphosphate
Other name(s): ribose 1,5-bisphosphokinase; PhnN; ATP:ribose-1,5-bisphosphate phosphotransferase
Systematic name: ATP:α-D-ribose-1,5-bisphosphate phosphotransferase
Comments: This enzyme, found in NAD supression mutants of Escherichia coli, synthesizes 5-phospho-α-D-ribose 1-diphosphate (PRPP) without the participation of EC 2.7.6.1, ribose-phosphate diphosphokinase. Ribose, ribose 1-phosphate and ribose 5-phosphate are not substrates, and GTP cannot act as a phosphate donor.
