Abstract
between purine nucleoside diphosphate inhibition and inorganic phosphate (Pi) activation; and intracellular concentration of the PRS1 isoform. The operation of additional determinants of rates of PRPP synthesis in human cells is suggested by: (1) multiple PRS isoforms with distinctive physical and kinetic properties; (2) nearly immediate activation of intracellular PRPP synthesis in response to mitogens, growth-promoters, and increased intracellular Mg2+ concentrations; (3) tissue-specific differences in PRS1 and PRS2 transcript and isoform expression; and (4) reversible association of PRS subunits with one another and/or with PRS-associated proteins (PAPs), as a result of which the catalytic and perhaps regulatory properties of PRS isoforms are modified.
