Gene Description

IMD3 (YLR432W) encodes an inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH; EC 1.1.1.205), one of three expressed IMPDH paralogs in S. cerevisiae together with IMD2 and IMD4 (IMD1 is a poorly expressed subtelomeric paralog). It catalyses the NAD+-dependent oxidation of IMP to XMP, the first committed and rate-limiting step in guanine nucleotide synthesis. Unlike IMD2, IMD3 is not the drug-inducible, mycophenolic acid-resistant paralog, and its loss does not cause drug sensitivity. Imd3 forms homotetramers and can form mixed tetramers with its close paralog Imd4. The enzyme is cytoplasmic; it has also been recovered in mRNP capture experiments.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: RCA from YeastPathways PWY3O-285 (superpathway of purine biosynthesis and salvage pathways). IMP produced by hypoxanthine salvage (Hpt1) or from adenine (Apt1/Amd1) reaches guanine nucleotides only via IMPDH, so IMPDH acts downstream of these salvage routes; guanine salvage by Hpt1 produces GMP directly. Non-core.
Reason: IMPDH routes salvaged IMP to guanine nucleotides, but guanine salvage itself bypasses it.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Do Imd3-Imd4 heterotetramers differ in kinetics or regulation from homotetramers, and is this why the paralog heteromer is retained?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Measure IMPDH activity and guanine nucleotide pools in imd3, imd4 and imd3 imd4 strains with and without IMD2 induction to define each paralog's contribution.
