Adenylosuccinate synthetase (AdSS), encoded by the ADE12 gene in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, plays a critical role purine biosynthesis, catalyzing conversion of inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP) and aspartic acid to adenylosuccinate, substrate for following adenosine (AMP) synthesis step. Mutants lacking AdSS activity exhibit range pleiotropic phenotypes: slow growth, poor spore germination, accumulation, secretion hypoxanthine. We report new phenotypes ade12 mutants explain their molecular mechanisms. A GC-MS analysis showed that have highly altered metabolite profiles: accumulation IMP leads an impaired cellular energy metabolism, resulting dysregulation key processes-the metabolism nucleotides, carbohydrates, amino acids. These metabolic perturbations cell division arrest observed strains. slowed replication mutants, because insufficient availability energy, proteins, error-prone DNA polymerase ζ-dependent elevation spontaneous mutagenesis, connecting multiple roles with genome stability control.
