Phosphoribosyl anthranilate isomerase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of tryptophan, catalysing the interconversion of the aminoaldose phosphoribosyl anthranilate (PRA) and the aminoketose 1-[(2-carboxyphen-yl) amino]-1-deoxyribulose 5-phosphate (CdRP). It shares significant structural and sequence homology to other aldose-ketose isomerases, notably the analogous enzyme in the Histidine biosynthesis pathway, HisA which catalyses a similar reaction. The two are assumed to follow the same mechanism, namely Amadori rearrangement with acid base catalysis.
