Phosphoribosyl transferase (PRT)-type I domain Phosphoribosyl transferase (PRT) domain. The type I PRTases are identified by a conserved PRPP binding motif which features two adjacent acidic residues surrounded by one or more hydrophobic residue. PRTases catalyze the displacement of the alpha-1'-pyrophosphate of 5-phosphoribosyl-alpha1-pyrophosphate (PRPP) by a nitrogen-containing nucleophile. The reaction products are an alpha-1 substituted ribose-5'-phosphate and a free pyrophosphate (PP). PRPP, an activated form of ribose-5-phosphate, is a key metabolite connecting nucleotide synthesis and salvage pathways. The type I PRTase family includes a range of diverse phosphoribosyl transferase enzymes and regulatory proteins of the nucleotide synthesis and salvage pathways, including adenine phosphoribosyltransferase EC:2.4.2.7., hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase, hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase EC:2.4.2.8., ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase EC:2.7.6.1., amidophosphoribosyltransferase EC:2.4.2.14., orotate phosphoribosyltransferase EC:2.4.2.10., uracil phosphoribosyltransferase EC:2.4.2.9., and xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase EC:2.4.2.22.
