GO:0004516 (nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase activity) should now be a ligase? #14684

Closed sjm41 closed 6 years ago

GO:0004516 is currently classed as a 'transferase activity' in the GO, with an EC xref of 2.4.2.11

But the EC reclassified this enzyme as a ligase at some point. See: http://enzyme.expasy.org/EC/2.4.2.11

So, please check, but it looks like GO:0004516 should also be moved to be under 'ligase activity' in the GO, with the EC xref updated to 6.3.4.21 (Nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase).

However, not all known ligases are under 6.3.4, only some of them; I'll change the EC number now, I am at a loss as to why this is now a ligase rather than a transferase; it is not something I would expect to get returned if I searched on "ligase"
