Accepted name: |
phosphodiesterase I |
Reaction: |
Hydrolytically removes 5′-nucleotides successively from the 3′-hydroxy termini of 3′-hydroxy-terminated oligonucleotides |
Other name(s): |
5′-exonuclease; 5′-phosphodiesterase; 5′-nucleotide phosphodiesterase; oligonucleate 5′-nucleotidohydrolase; 5′ nucleotide phosphodiesterase/alkaline phosphodiesterase I; 5′-NPDase; 5′-PDase; 5′-PDE; 5’NPDE; alkaline phosphodiesterase; nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase I; orthophosphoric diester phosphohydrolase; PDE I; phosphodiesterase (ambiguous); exonuclease I |
Systematic name: |
oligonucleotide 5′-nucleotidohydrolase |
Comments: |
Hydrolyses both ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides. Has low activity towards polynucleotides. A 3′-phosphate terminus on the substrate inhibits hydrolysis. |
