Abstract
BACKGROUND PRPP synthase (PRPS) transfers the pyrophosphate groups from ATP to ribose-5-phosphate to produce 5-phosphate ribose-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of several metabolites including nucleotides, dinucleotides and some amino acids. There are three PRPS isoforms encoded in human genome. While human PRPS1 (hPRPS1) and human PRPS2 (hPRPS2) are expressed in most tissues, human PRPS3 (hPRPS3) is exclusively expressed in testis. Although hPRPS1 and hPRPS2 share 95% sequence identity, hPRPS2 has been shown to be less sensitive to allosteric inhibition and specifically upregulated in certain cancers in the translational level. Recent studies demonstrate that PRPS can form a subcellular compartment termed the cytoophidium in multiple organisms across prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Forming filaments and cytoophidia is considered as a distinctive mechanism involving the polymerization of the protein. Previously we solved the filament structures of Escherichia coli PRPS (ecPRPS) using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) 1. RESULTS Order to investigate the function and molecular mechanism of hPRPS2 polymerization, here we solve the polymer structure of hPRPS2 at 3.08 Å resolution. hPRPS2 hexamers stack into polymers in the conditions with the allosteric/competitive inhibitor ADP. The binding modes of ADP at the canonical allosteric site and at the catalytic active site are clearly determined. A point mutation disrupting the inter-hexamer interaction prevents hPRPS2 polymerization and results in significantly reduced catalytic activity. CONCLUSION Findings suggest that the regulation of hPRPS2 polymer is distinct from ecPRPS polymer and provide new insights to the regulation of hPRPS2 with structural basis.

Abstract
Erythromycin is one of the most widely used macrolide antibiotics. To present a system-level understanding of erythromycin stress and degradation, proteome, phospholipids and membrane potentials were investigated after the erythromycin degradation. Bacillus thuringiensis could effectively remove 77% and degrade 53% of 1 µM erythromycin within 24 h. The 36 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated proteins were mainly involved in spore germination, chaperone and nucleic acid binding. Up-regulated ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase and ribosomal proteins confirmed that the synthesis of protein, DNA and RNA were enhanced after the erythromycin degradation. The reaction network of glycolysis/gluconeogenesis was activated, whereas, the activity of spore germination was decreased. The increased synthesis of phospholipids, especially, palmitoleic acid and oleic acid, altered the membrane permeability for erythromycin transport. Ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase and palmitoleic acid could be biomarkers to reflect erythromycin exposure. Lipids, disease, pyruvate metabolism and citrate cycle in human cells could be the target pathways influenced by erythromycin. The findings presented novel insights to the interaction among erythromycin stress, protein interaction and metabolism network, and provided a useful protocol for investigating cellular metabolism responses under pollutant stress.

Abstract
Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRPPS) from the thermophilic bacterial strain Thermus thermophilus HB27 catalyzes the synthesis of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate from ribose 5-phosphate and ATP, and belongs to the class I PRPPSs. The three-dimensional structure of the recombinant enzyme was solved at 2.2 Å resolution using crystals grown in microgravity from protein solution containing ATP, magnesium and sulfate ions. An ADP molecule was located in the active site of each subunit of the hexameric enzyme molecule and sulfate ions were located in both the active and allosteric sites. It was found that the catalytic loop that restricts the active-site area and is usually missing from the electron-density map of class I PRPPSs adopts different conformations in three independent subunits in T. thermophilus PRPPS. A closed conformation of the active site was found in one of subunits where the highly ordered catalytic β-hairpin delivers the Lys and Arg residues that are essential for activity directly to the ADP molecule, which occupies the ATP-binding site. A comparison of the conformations of the catalytic loop in the three independent subunits reveals a possible mode of transition from the open to the closed state of the active site during the course of the catalyzed reaction.

Phosphoribosyl Diphosphate (PRPP): Biosynthesis, Enzymology, Utilization, and Metabolic Significance. Microbiol Mol Biol Rev 2016; 81:81/1/e00040-16.

Abstract
Phosphoribosyl diphosphate (PRPP) is an important intermediate in cellular metabolism. PRPP is synthesized by PRPP synthase, as follows: ribose 5-phosphate + ATP → PRPP + AMP. PRPP is ubiquitously found in living organisms and is used in substitution reactions with the formation of glycosidic bonds. PRPP is utilized in the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, the amino acids histidine and tryptophan, the cofactors NAD and tetrahydromethanopterin, arabinosyl monophosphodecaprenol, and certain aminoglycoside antibiotics. The participation of PRPP in each of these metabolic pathways is reviewed. Central to the metabolism of PRPP is PRPP synthase, which has been studied from all kingdoms of life by classical mechanistic procedures. The results of these analyses are unified with recent progress in molecular enzymology and the elucidation of the three-dimensional structures of PRPP synthases from eubacteria, archaea, and humans. The structures and mechanisms of catalysis of the five diphosphoryltransferases are compared, as are those of selected enzymes of diphosphoryl transfer, phosphoryl transfer, and nucleotidyl transfer reactions. PRPP is used as a substrate by a large number phosphoribosyltransferases. The protein structures and reaction mechanisms of these phosphoribosyltransferases vary and demonstrate the versatility of PRPP as an intermediate in cellular physiology. PRPP synthases appear to have originated from a phosphoribosyltransferase during evolution, as demonstrated by phylogenetic analysis. PRPP, furthermore, is an effector molecule of purine and pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis, either by binding to PurR or PyrR regulatory proteins or as an allosteric activator of carbamoylphosphate synthetase. Genetic analyses have disclosed a number of mutants altered in the PRPP synthase-specifying genes in humans as well as bacterial species.

Abstract
Analysis of the genome sequence of Pyrobaculum calidifontis revealed the presence of an open reading frame Pcal_1127 annotated as ribose-5-phosphate pyrophosphokinase. To examine the properties of Pcal_1127 the coding gene was cloned, expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified gene product was characterized. Pcal_1127 exhibited higher activity when ATP was replaced by dATP as pyrophosphate donor. Phosphate and EDTA activated the enzyme activity and equivalent amount of activity was detected with ATP and dATP in their presence. Recombinant Pcal_1127 could utilize all the four nucleotides as pyrophosphate donors with a marked preference for ATP. Optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme activity were 55 °C and 10.5, respectively. A unique feature of Pcal_1127 was its stability against temperature as well as denaturants. Pcal_1127 exhibited more than 95 % residual activity after heating for 4 h at 90 °C and a half-life of 15 min in the boiling water. The enzyme activity was not affected by the presence of 8 M urea or 4 M guanidinium chloride. Pcal_1127 was a highly efficient enzyme with a catalytic efficiency of 5183 mM-1 s-1. These features make Pcal_1127, a novel and unique ribose-5-phosphate pyrophosphokinase.

Abstract
The prs gene encoding phosphoribosyl diphosphate (PRPP) synthase of the hyperthermophilic autotrophic methanogenic archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Subsequently, M.jannaschii PRPP synthase has been purified, characterised, crystallised, and the crystal structure determined. The enzyme is activated by phosphate ions and only ATP or dATP serve as diphosphoryl donors. The K(m) values are determined as 2.6 mM and 2.8 mM for ATP and ribose 5-phosphate, respectively, and the V(max) value as 2.20 mmol (minxmg of protein)(-1). ADP is a potent inhibitor of activity while GDP has no effect. A single ADP binding site, the active site, is present per subunit. The crystal structure of the enzyme reveals a more compact subunit than that of the enzyme from the mesophile Bacillus subtilis, caused by truncations at the N and C terminus as well as shorter loops in the M.jannaschii enzyme. The M.jannaschii enzyme displays a tetrameric quaternary structure in contrast to the hexameric quaternary structure of B.subtilis PRPP synthase. Soaking of the crystals with 5'-AMP and PRPP revealed the position of the former compound as well as that of ribose 5-phosphate. The properties of M.jannaschii PRPP synthase differ widely from previously characterised PRPP synthases by its tetrameric quaternary structure and the simultaneous phosphate ion-activation and lack of allosteric inhibition, and, thus, constitute a novel class of PRPP synthases.

Abstract
Eleven of the codons specifying the amino acids of the flexible catalytic loop [KRRPRPNVAEVM(197-208)] of Bacillus subtilis phosphoribosyl diphosphate synthase have been changed individually to specify alanine. The resulting variant enzyme forms, as well as the wildtype enzyme, were produced in an Escherichia coli strain lacking endogenous phosphoribosyl diphosphate synthase activity and purified to near homogeneity. The B. subtilis phosphoribosyl diphosphate synthase mutant variants K197A and R199A were studied in detail. The physical properties of the two enzymes were similar to those of the wildtype enzyme. Kinetic characterization showed that the V(max) values of the K197A and R199A mutant enzymes were more than 30 000- and more than 24 000-fold reduced, respectively, compared to the wildtype enzyme. The K(m) values for ATP and ribose 5-phosphate of the two mutant enzymes were essentially unchanged. V(app) values of the remaining mutant enzymes were much less affected, ranging from 20 to 100% of the V(max) value of the wildtype enzyme. The data presented show that Lys197 and Arg199 are important in stabilization of the transition state.
