Gene Description

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.

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.

Summary: Hove-Jensen co-expressed the five yeast PRS genes in a PRPP-less E. coli strain: no single subunit had activity, while PRS5 gave active enzyme only together with Prs2 or Prs4, and stable enzyme required at least three subunits. This shows that PRS5 acts as a subunit of a hetero-oligomeric PRPP synthase.

Summary: EC 2.7.6.1 / RHEA:15609 and the InterPro PRPP-synthase signature mapped to ribose phosphate diphosphokinase activity. PRS5 has the PRPP-binding and DCbs motifs and is one of the five yeast PRPP synthase subunits. Caveat: no single yeast Prs subunit is active alone, so 'contributes_to' (as SGD uses in its IGI rows) is the more precise qualifier.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PAINT IBA (PTN000025022; donors are rat Prps1/2 and human PRPS1/2) for purine nucleotide biosynthesis. 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.

Summary: YeastPathways RCA inherited from the superpathway PRPP-PWY-1 (histidine, purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis). PRS5 catalyses only the PRPP-forming entry step, so the superpathway BP is a generalisation; PRPP is a genuine precursor of all nucleotides.

Core Functions

PRS5 is a subunit of the hetero-oligomeric cytosolic PRPP synthase. It contributes to ribose 5-phosphate + ATP -> PRPP + AMP but has no activity alone. The enzyme supplies PRPP for nucleotide, histidine and tryptophan synthesis.

    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.

    These combinations were PRS1 PRS2, PRS1 PRS3, and PRS1 PRS4, as well as PRS5 PRS2 and PRS5 PRS4.

    We classify these proteins, representing 75% of the yeast proteome, into 22 distinct subcellular localization categories

    Loss of Prs5p has a significant impact on PRS enzyme activity, causing it to be reduced by 84%.

SGD gene description for PRS5 (yeast)

5-phospho-ribosyl-1(alpha)-pyrophosphate synthetase; synthesizes PRPP, which is required for nucleotide, histidine, and tryptophan biosynthesis; one of five related enzymes, which are active as heteromultimeric complexes; forms cytoplasmic foci upon DNA replication stress
