1. Schematic representation of the pathways of PP-ribose-P and purine nucleotide synthesis and the regulation of rates of purine synthesis de novo by PP-ribose-P and purine nucleotide end products. Curved arrows depict single-step purine base salvage pathways of purine nucleotide synthesis, requiring PP-ribose-P and catalyzed by the phosphoribosyltransferase (PRT) enzymes, HPRT and adenine PRT. Purine synthesis de novo is shown by a solid arrow (representing the rate-limiting AmidoPRT reaction) and a dashed arrow (depicting the final nine steps in this sequence of reactions). Purine nucleotide inhibition (−) of PP-ribose-P synthetase and AmidoPRT is indicated by the heavy hatched arrow, and allosteric activation (+) of AmidoPRT by PP-ribose-P is shown by the heavy dark arrow.
