Background: Purines are critical for energy metabolism, cell signaling and cell reproduction and also function as precursors for coenzymes, energy transfer molecules, regulatory factors and proteins involved in RNA and DNA synthesis. GMPS is a 693 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that is involved in purine biosynthesis. Existing as a homodimer, GMPS catalyzes the last step in the GMP synthesis pathway, namely the ATP-dependent amination of XMP to GMP. GMPS contains one GMP-binding domain and one glutamine amidotransferase type-1 domain through which it conveys its catalytic activity. Chromosomal translocations involving the gene encoding GMPS are associated with acute myeloid leukemias, suggesting a possible role for GMPS in carcinogenesis.
