SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for APT1
APT1 encodes the yeast adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT), which catalyzes the condensation of adenine and 5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) to yield AMP (5, 2, 1). Apt1p has strong similarity to APRT in bacteria, invertebrates, plants, and mammals (1). APT2, a gene that was thought to encode a second yeast APRT, has been found to be a nonfunctional pseudogene that likely arose from a duplication of APT1 (6). Some cases of urolithiasis are caused by mutations in the human APT1 homolog (7).
