Prs5 (YOL061W) is one of five ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase (PRPP synthase) subunits in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. PRPP synthase forms 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate (PRPP) from ribose 5-phosphate and ATP (EC 2.7.6.1). PRPP is the ribose-phosphate donor for de novo and salvage synthesis of purine, pyrimidine and pyridine nucleotides and for histidine and tryptophan biosynthesis. S. cerevisiae has five PRS genes, and none of their products is active alone. Co-expression in E. coli shows that active enzyme needs specific pairs (Prs1 with Prs2, Prs3 or Prs4; Prs5 with Prs2 or Prs4), and enzyme stable in vitro needs at least three subunits. The cytosolic PRPP synthase is therefore a hetero-oligomeric complex of Prs subunits. Prs5 (496 aa) carries two non-homologous insertions (NHR5-1, NHR5-2) around its conserved divalent-cation and PRPP-binding motifs. It gives active enzyme with Prs2 or Prs4, and its deletion cuts cellular PRPP synthase activity by 84% without affecting growth. prs5 is synthetically lethal with prs1 or prs3. In stationary or starved cells Prs5 assembles into cytoophidia (filaments) that dock with CTP synthase (Ura7) and asparagine synthetase (Asn1) filaments.

| GO:0000287 magnesium ion binding | IEA GO_REF:0000002 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: InterPro IPR000842/IPR005946 (PRPP synthase signatures) mapped to magnesium ion binding. PRS5 carries the conserved divalent-cation binding site (DCbs) motif of PRPP synthases, and the reaction uses Mg-ATP, so Mg2+ binding is expected; it has not been measured directly for the PRS5 subunit. Reason: Cofactor binding inferred from the conserved DCbs motif; correct for a PRPP synthase subunit but not the core function.

This shows that PRS5 acts as a subunit of a hetero-oligomeric PRPP synthase. Supporting Evidence: PMID:15280369 Expression of the five S. cerevisiae PRS genes individually in an Escherichia coli PRPP-less strain (Deltaprs) showed that a single PRS gene product had no PRPP synthase activity.

PRPP made by the Prs complex is the ribose-phosphate donor for de novo and salvage purine nucleotide synthesis, so PRS5 supplies an essential precursor. In GO, PRPP biosynthesis is not part_of purine nucleotide biosynthesis, and the same PRPP also feeds pyrimidine, NAD, histidine and tryptophan synthesis. Reason: Upstream precursor supply shared by several pathways. It is acceptable, but the core process is GO:0006015.

Reason: Broad downstream process; the core process is PRPP biosynthesis. Supporting Evidence: PMID:9829955 PRPP is required for the production of purine, pyrimidine, and pyridine nucleotides and the amino acids histidine and tryptophan PMID:9108276 disruption of PRS1 or PRS3 has a significant effect on cell metabolism, whereas disruption of PRS2 or PRS4 has little measurable effect |

PRS5 catalyses only the PRPP-forming entry step, so the superpathway BP is a generalisation; PRPP is a genuine precursor of all nucleotides. Reason: Superpathway-inherited BP.

This is a regulated, condition-dependent supramolecular state of the enzyme. Reason: Condition-dependent filament localization; informative but not the core location (cytosol). Supporting Evidence: PMID:39836171 four proteins of interest were labeled in a single budding yeast cell, specifically Prs5-mTagBFP (phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthase, PRPS) PMID:39836171 CTPS cytoophidia are more prevalent in quiescent cells, forming complexes with Prs5 and Asn1 cytoophidia |
