HOMOLOGY

interspecies	homolog to rattus Gart (86.5 pc)
	homolog to murine Gart (85.5 pc)

Homologene

FAMILY	GARS family
	AIR synthase family
	GART family

CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	catalyzing the third step of the de novo purine biosynthesis (see TFPS) leading to formylglycinamide ribonucleotide (FGAR)
	phosphoribosyl glycineamide synthetase
	pivotal enzyme in de novo purine synthesis, that mediates cellular apoptosis in many diseases
	GART plays a critical role in the protection of cellular apoptosis and migration of intestinal epithelial cells to maintain the integrity of the epithelial barrier

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

purine/pyrimidine

signaling

a component

component of the trifunctional enzyme

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	nucleotide,
	ATP

protein

GART enhances the stability of RUVBL1 through methylating its K7 site, which consequently aberrantly activates the Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling pathway to induce tumor stemness

cell & other

REGULATION

induced by

VGLL3 inducing GART expression and thereby confers de novo nucleotide-dependent cell proliferation in cancer cell

ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

corresponding disease(s)

Other morbid association(s)

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function constitutional         only in individuals with Down syndrome tumoral     --over   is associated with poor outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and promotes the proliferation and migration of CRC cells tumoral     --over   in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

Susceptibility

to Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)

Variant & Polymorphism other	blocking GART results in nearly the same effect in the metabolic network as folate depletion, and methylation defect to be a potential cause of ASD, due to the depletion of purine, and consequently S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), biosynthesis

Candidate gene	for a chemotherapeutic target for several decades
Marker	GART expression may be one of the causative factors for a poor prognosis in HCC
