5-((5-phospho-1-deoxy-D-ribulos-1-ylamino)methylideneamino)-1-(5-phospho- beta-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide + L-glutamine = 5-amino-1- (5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide + D-erythro-1- (imidazol-4-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate + L-glutamate.
-!- The enzyme is involved in histidine biosynthesis, as well as purine nucleotide biosynthesis. -!- The enzymes from archaea and bacteria are heterodimeric. -!- A glutaminase component (cf. EC 3.5.1.2) produces an ammonia molecule that is transferred by a 25 A tunnel to a cyclase component, which adds it to the imidazole ring, leading to lysis of the molecule and cyclization of one of the products. -!- The glutminase subunit is only active within the dimeric complex. -!- In fungi and plants the two subunits are combined into a single polypeptide.
