ENZYME entry: EC 3.6.1.70

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.6.1.70
Accepted Name
guanosine-5'-diphospho-5'-[DNA] diphosphatase
Alternative Name(s)
aprataxin
pp5'G5'DNA diphosphatase
pp5'G5'-DNA guanylate hydrolase
Reaction catalysed
a 5'-end guanosine-5'-diphospho-5'-(2'-deoxyribonucleoside)-DNA + H2O = a 5'-end 5'-phospho-2'-deoxyribonucleoside-DNA + GMP + 2 H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Aprataxin is a DNA-binding protein that catalyzes (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 activity of EC 3.6.1.71 and EC 3.6.1.72.
  • Formerly EC 3.1.11.8.
