IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 6.3.5.2

Names

Accepted name:
GMP synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing)
Other names:
GMP synthetase (glutamine-hydrolysing)
guanosine 5'-monophosphate synthetase
guanosine monophosphate synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)
guanylate synthetase (glutamine-hydrolyzing)
xanthosine 5'-phosphate amidotransferase
Systematic name:
xanthosine-5'-phosphate:L-glutamine amido-ligase (AMP-forming)

Reaction

Comments:

Involved in the de novo biosynthesis of guanosine nucleotides. An N-terminal glutaminase domain binds L-glutamine and generates ammonia, which is transferred by a substrate-protective tunnel to the ATP-pyrophosphatase domain. The enzyme can catalyse the second reaction alone in the presence of ammonia. Formerly EC 6.3.4.1.
