| EC | 3.6.1.73 | ||
| Accepted name: | inosine/xanthosine triphosphatase | ||
| Reaction: | (1) inosine 5′-triphosphate + H2O = inosine 5′-diphosphate + phosphate (2) xanthosine 5′-triphosphate + H2O = xanthosine 5′-diphosphate + phosphate |
||
| Glossary: | inosine 5′-triphosphate = ITP xanthosine 5′-triphosphate = XTP |
||
| Other name(s): | yjjX (gene name) | ||
| Systematic name: | inosine/xanthosine 5′-triphosphate phosphohydrolase | ||
| Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Escherichia coli, preferentially hydrolyses inosine triphosphate and xanthosine triphosphate, which are formed by oxidative deamination damage. By hydrolysing these damaged nucleotides, the enzyme prevents their incorporation into RNA. | ||
