Protein
Nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase pncB1
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
Involved in the Preiss-Handler pathway, which is a recycling route that permits the salvage of free nicotinamide (NM) and nicotinic acid (Na) involved in the NAD biosynthesis. Catalyzes the synthesis of beta-nicotinate D-ribonucleotide from nicotinate and 5-phospho-D-ribose 1-phosphate at the expense of ATP. It is not able to use nicotinamide. PncB1 contributes to basal NAD level (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the NAPRTase family.
