Purine metabolism plays a pivotal role in bacterial life cycle, however, regulation of the de novo and purine salvage pathways have not been extensively detailed in mycobacteria. By gene knockout, biochemical and structural analyses, we identified Mycobacterium smegmatis (Msm) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) guaB1 gene product as a novel type of guanosine 5-monophosphate reductase (GMPR), which recycles guanosine monophosphate to inosine monophosphate within the purine salvage pathway and contains cystathione {beta}-synthase (CBS) domains with atypical orientation in the octamer. CBS domains share a much larger interacting area with a conserved catalytic domain in comparison with the only known CBS containing protozoan GMPR and closely related inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase structures. Our results revealed essential effect of pH on allosteric regulation of Msm GMPR activity and oligomerization with adenine and guanosine nucleotides binding to CBS domains.Bioinformatic analysis indicated the presence of GMPRs containing CBS domains across the entire Actinobacteria phylum.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
