Nucleotidase

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nucleotidase (also: nucleotide phosphatase ) are called enzymes that the hydrolysis of a phosphate group (and so therefore dAMP, AMP, GMP, TMP etc.) of (deoxy) Ribonukleosidmonophosphaten the respective nucleoside catalyze . They occur in all living things. The reaction is part of the breakdown of the nucleotides .

AMP+ H 2 O   + P i   Adenosine
For example, AMP is hydrolyzed to adenosine by nucleotidase .

There are several different nucleotidases that differ in the reaction mechanism. The hydrolysis of phosphates bound at the 5'-position is brought about by the 5'-nucleotidase ( EC  3.1.3.5 ), which has the greatest substrate scope . Correspondingly, the 3'-nucleotidase in bacteria facilitates the cleavage of a 3'-phosphate group from 3'-AMP, -GMP, -UMP and -CMP as well as 3'-dAMP and -dGMP ( EC  3.1.3.6 ); the phosphoadenylate 3'-nucleotidase also catalyzes the cleavage of the 3'-phosphate in PAP ( EC  3.1.3.7 ).

The following nucleotidases are known in humans:
