Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Converts guanine to guanosine monophosphate, and hypoxanthine to inosine monophosphate. Transfers the 5-phosphoribosyl group from 5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate onto the purine. Plays a central role in the generation of purine nucleotides through the purine salvage pathway.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY IMP + diphosphate = hypoxanthine + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphateCATALYTIC ACTIVITY GMP + diphosphate = guanine + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphateCOFACTOR Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit. The magnesium ions are essentially bound to the substrate and have few direct interactions with the protein.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Purine metabolism; IMP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; IMP from hypoxanthine: step 1/1.SUBUNIT Homotetramer.INTERACTION The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family.ONLINE INFORMATION Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase entry
