The gene adenosine 3 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\ade3 (CG31628, FBgn0000053). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: phosphoribosylamine-glycine ligase activity; phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine cyclo-ligase activity. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to be involved in the biological process: 'de novo' IMP biosynthetic process. 19 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: ventral row; tarsal segment; dorsal row; wing; wing vein; macrochaeta; pigment cell; trichome of the posterior wing margin. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: AIR synthase related protein, N-terminal domain; AIR synthase-related protein, C-terminal domain; ATP-grasp fold; ATP-grasp fold, subdomain 1; ATP-grasp fold, subdomain 2; Formyl transferase, N-terminal; Phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine cyclo-ligase; Phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase; Phosphoribosylglycinamide formyltransferase, active site; Phosphoribosylglycinamide synthetase; Phosphoribosylglycinamide synthetase, ATP-grasp (A) domain; Phosphoribosylglycinamide synthetase, C-domain; Phosphoribosylglycinamide synthetase, N-terminal; Phosphoribosylglycinamide synthetase, conserved site; Pre-ATP-grasp domain; PurM, N-terminal-like; Rudiment single hybrid motif. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed during late larval stages, during early pupal stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval fat body, adult spermathecae. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval central nervous system, adult crop, larval Malpighian tubules, adult heart, adult fat body, larval salivary gland, adult ovary, adult carcass.

ade3 (S. Henikoff and D. Nash)
Purine nucleoside auxotroph supplementable with
adenine, adenosine, and inosine. Recovery of ade3 progeny
from crosses between ade3 and ade3/SM5 is about 1% when raised
on minimal medium. Less than 3% of the normal activity purine

Nucleotide excision repair of (6-4)photoproducts has been assayed in the ade3 locus of Kc (embryonic) cell line, after exposure to UV light. The ade3 locus is transcriptionally active in Kc cells, but the repair rate is the same as for the transcriptionally inactive white gene, as well as for the transcriptionally active N gene. Repair rate is enhanced with prior exposure to photoreactivating light. No strand specificity of repair is observed.
Encodes the three enzymes in the purine biosynthetic pathway, glycineamide ribotide synthetase (GARS), aminoimidazole ribotide synthetase (AIRS) and GART.
Purine nucleoside auxotroph supplementable with adenine, adenosine and inosine. Recovery of ade3 progeny from crosses between ade31 and ade31/SM5 is about 1% when raised on minimal medium. Less than 3% of the normal activity purine de novo synthetic pathway enzyme, glycineamide ribotide transformylase (GART). Mutants, if viable, have a brownish eye colour and wing and bristle defects.
Removal of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers is measured in genes ade3, N and w in two diploid immortalised cell lines (Kc and SL2) to investigate whether preferential repair forms part of DNA excision repair. Data supports the idea that preferential repair is not restricted to transcriptionally active sequences.
The organization of the ade3 protein in Drosophila has multiple domains with GAR transformylase at the carboxyl terminus preceded by an extensive repeat.
