Adenosine is first incorporated into the cytosol through either a nupG or a nupC transporter. Once in the cytosol, adenosine is degraded into adenine by reacting with a water and a adenosine nucleosidase, releasing a D-ribofuranose and a adenine. The adenine then reacts with a PRPP through a adenine phosphoribosyltransferase resulting in the release of a pyrophosphate and an AMP . The AMP in turn reacts with a water molecule through a AMP nucleosidase resulting in the release of a D-ribofuranose 5-phosphate and a adenine.
