ENZYME entry: EC 3.2.2.25

Accepted Name
N-methyl nucleosidase
Alternative Name(s)
7-methylxanthosine nucleosidase
methylpurine nucleosidase
N-MeNase
N-methyl nucleoside hydrolase
Reaction catalysed
7-methylxanthosine + H2O <=> 7-methylxanthine + D-ribose + H(+)
Comment(s)
Preferentially hydrolyzes 3- and 7-methylpurine nucleosides, such as 3-methylxanthosine, 3-methyladenosine and 7-methylguanosine. Hydrolysis of 7-methylxanthosine to form 7-methylxanthine is the second step in the caffeine biosynthesis pathway.
