This family is involved in biosynthesis of guanosine nucleotide. Members of this family contain a TIM barrel structure. In the inosine monophosphate dehydrogenases 2 CBS domains Pfam:PF00571 are inserted in the TIM barrel [2]. This family is a member of the common phosphate binding site TIM barrel family.
Guanosine monophosphate reductase (GMPR) is crucial for catalysis of the irreversible GMP deamination to IMP with the use of NADPH. It converts nucleobase, nucleoside and nucleotide derivatives of G to A nucleotides, and thus maintains the intracellular balance of A and G nucleotides. GMP is a homotetramer with mixed alpha helices and beta sheets.The monomers are stabilised by interactions across their edges and through Cys-Cys bonds. GMPR1 inhibitors are tested for applications is treating Alzheimer's disease and the increase of GMPR expression is linked to suppression of melanoma cancers.
