1. What is the function of your gene?
   • The molecular function of IMD3 is that it enables IMP dehydrogenase activity as well as mRNA binding. It catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of GTP and its involved in GTP biosynthesis pathways. In addition, it catalyzes the conversion of inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-phosphate (XMP). It is also known to play an important roll in cell growth.
2. What was different about the information provided about your gene in each of the parent databases?
   • Were there differences in content, the information or data itself?
   • Were there differences in presentation of the information?
3. Why did you choose your particular gene? i.e., why is it interesting to you and your partner?
   • Hailey’s research in Dr. Sarah Mitchell’s lab at LMU studies IMD3’s RNA binding function in yeast.
4. Include an image related to your gene (be careful that you do not violate any copyright restrictions!)
