Abstract
cDNA clones for human phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase subunit II (PRS II) were isolated. The five overlapping clones contained 2457 base pairs (bp) covering a 954-bp complete coding region for 318 amino acid residues. Homologies between human and rat PRS II were 99% of the amino acids and 88% of the nucleotides in the coding region. This amino acid homology seems to be the highest so far reported for enzymes involved in nucleotide metabolism and glycolysis. The highly conserved structure may be required for unique catalysis and rigid regulation of this enzyme.Entities:
