Description5-Methylthioribose 1-phosphate, also known as 1-phospho-5-S-methylthioribose or D-ribofuranoside, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pentoses. These are monosaccharides in which the carbohydrate moiety contains five carbon atoms. 5-Methylthioribose 1-phosphate is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Within yeast, 5-methylthioribose 1-phosphate participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 5-methylthioribose 1-phosphate can be converted into 5-methylthioribulose 1-phosphate; which is catalyzed by the enzyme methylthioribose-1-phosphate isomerase. In addition, 5-methylthioribose 1-phosphate and adenine can be biosynthesized from 5'-S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine through its interaction with the enzyme 5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase. In yeast, 5-methylthioribose 1-phosphate is involved in the metabolic pathway called the methionine metabolism and salvage pathway.
