Organism
Methanosarcina mazei (strain ATCC BAA-159 / DSM 3647 / Goe1 / Go1 / JCM 11833 / OCM 88)
Function
Catalyzes the conversion of AMP and phosphate to adenine and ribose 1,5-bisphosphate (R15P). Exhibits phosphorylase activity toward CMP and UMP in addition to AMP. Functions in an archaeal AMP degradation pathway, together with R15P isomerase and RubisCO.
