Protein
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
The purine nucleoside phosphorylases catalyze the phosphorolytic breakdown of the N-glycosidic bond in the beta-(deoxy)ribonucleoside molecules, with the formation of the corresponding free purine bases and pentose-1-phosphate. Cleaves guanosine, inosine, 2'-deoxyguanosine and 2'-deoxyinosine.
Similarity
Belongs to the PNP/MTAP phosphorylase family.
