In enzymology, a nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 6.3.4.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

nicotinate + 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate + ATP + H2O nicotinate D-ribonucleotide + diphosphate + ADP + phosphate

Thus, the four substrates of this enzyme are nicotinate, 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate, ATP, and H2O, whereas its four products are nicotinate D-ribonucleotide, diphosphate, ADP, and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming generic carbon-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate:nicotinate ligase (ADP, diphosphate-forming) . Other names in common use include niacin ribonucleotidase, nicotinic acid mononucleotide glycohydrolase, nicotinic acid mononucleotide pyrophosphorylase, and nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase. This enzyme participates in nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1VLP, 1YBE, 1YIR, 1YTD, 1YTE, 1YTK, and 2F7F.
