3.6.1.70 |
Accepted name: |
guanosine-5′-diphospho-5′-[DNA] diphosphatase |
Reaction: |
guanosine-5′-diphospho-5′-[DNA] + H2O = phospho-5′-[DNA] + GMP |
Other name(s): |
aprataxin; pp5′G5′DNA diphosphatase; pp5′G5′-DNA guanylate hydrolase; APTX (gene name); HNT3 (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
guanosine-5′-diphospho-5′-[DNA] hydrolase (guanosine 5′-phosphate-forming) |
Comments: |
Aprataxin is a DNA-binding protein that catalyses (among other activities) the 5′ decapping of Gpp-DNA (formed by homologs of RtcB3 from the bacterium Myxococcus xanthus). The enzyme binds the guanylate group to a histidine residue at its active site, forming a covalent enzyme-nucleotide phosphate intermediate, followed by the hydrolysis of the guanylate from the nucleic acid and eventual release. The enzyme forms a 5′-phospho terminus that can be efficiently joined by "classical" ligases. The enzyme also possesses the activitiy of EC 3.6.1.71, adenosine-5′-diphospho-5′-[DNA] diphosphatase and EC 3.6.1.72, DNA-3′-diphospho-5′-guanosine diphosphatase. |
