The 4 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, N2-formyl-N1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide, L-glutamine, and H2O, whereas its 4 products are ADP, phosphate, 2-(formamido)-N1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)acetamidine, and L-glutamate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds carbon-nitrogen ligases with glutamine as amido-N-donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N2-formyl-N1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide:L-glutamine amido-ligase (ADP-forming). Other names in common use include phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthetase, formylglycinamide ribonucloetide amidotransferase, phosphoribosylformylglycineamidine synthetase, FGAM synthetase, FGAR amidotransferase, 5'-phosphoribosylformylglycinamide:L-glutamine amido-ligase, (ADP-forming), 2-N-formyl-1-N-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide:L-glutamine, and amido-ligase (ADP-forming).[1][2]
It is known as ADE6 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (budding yeast) genetics.[3]
As of late 2007, 8 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1T3T, 1VK3, 1VQ3, 2HRU, 2HRY, 2HS0, 2HS3, and 2HS4.
This enzyme participates in purine metabolism. Oncogenic and physiological signals lead to the ERK-dependent PFAS phosphorylation at the T619 site, stimulating de novo purine synthesis flux. In addition, ERK-mediated PFAS phosphorylation is required for cell and tumor growth.[4]
