Functional Family Nicotinate-nucleotide pyrophosphorylase, carboxylating

Enzyme Information

2.4.2.19
Nicotinate-nucleotide diphosphorylase (carboxylating).
based on mapping to UniProt O25909
Beta-nicotinate D-ribonucleotide + diphosphate + CO(2) = pyridine-2,3- dicarboxylate + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate.
-!- The reaction is catalyzed in the opposite direction. -!- Since quinolinate is synthesized from L-tryptophan in eukaryotes, but from L-aspartate in some prokaryotes, this is the first NAD(+) biosynthesis enzyme shared by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
