| Comments |
This archaeal enzyme, characterized from the methanogen?Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, catalyses a step in the synthesis of purine nucleotides. It differs from the orthologous bacterial/eukaryotic enzymes, which utilize 10-formyltetrahydrofolate rather than formate and ATP.?cf. EC?2.1.2.3, phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase. |

| Reactions |
Atp + formate + 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide = Adp + phosphate + 5-formamido-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4- carboxamide. |
