Purine De Novo Synthesis (IMP synthesis through to AMP/GMP) Nucleotide Metabolism · Cytosol

step 5 Irreversible/directional

FGAR → formylglycinamidine ribonucleotide (FGAM)

Converts Formylglycinamide ribonucleotide (FGAR) into Formylglycinamidine ribonucleotide (FGAM)

Notes

FGAM synthetase catalyzes FGAR + glutamine + ATP + H2O → FGAM + glutamate + ADP + Pi. The glutamine-derived nitrogen becomes N3 of the purine ring; ATP activates the formyl group before amidination.
